Effects of hair transplant treatment

restoration of natural appearance

The greatest effect of hair transplant treatment is restoration of a natural appearance. Because your own hair is used, the transplanted hair blends seamlessly with the surrounding hair, creating a natural-looking result.

lasting results

Once the hair is transplanted, it usually continues to grow permanently. This is because hair harvested from the donor area is less susceptible to hair thinning. It has high long-term cost performance as it can maintain its effectiveness over a long period of time.

mental effects

For many men who suffer from thinning hair or baldness, improving their appearance has a big impact on their mental health. It is expected that your self-confidence will be restored and you will become more proactive in your work and social life.

Consideration of cost effectiveness

economic aspect

Although hair transplant treatment is an expensive treatment, it can be said to be cost-effective in the long run. There are other oral and topical medications available to treat hair loss, such as minoxidil and finasteride, but these require continuous use and increase annual costs.

investment value

Improving your confidence and appearance can have more than just financial value. It can lead to success at work and improved relationships, and these benefits are financially immeasurable.

risk and return

Hair transplant treatment also comes with risks. In some cases, the surgery may fail or the results may not be as expected. However, you can minimize your risks by choosing a trusted clinic and an experienced doctor.

In conclusion

Although hair transplantation treatment is an expensive investment, it is considered to be cost-effective. Considering the benefits of natural cosmetic restoration, lasting results, and improved mental health, it may be a worthwhile investment for many people. By considering the cost and choosing a treatment method that suits you and a doctor you can trust, you can effectively eliminate the problem of thinning hair.

Hiro Clinic Hair Transplant

At Hiro Clinic, we recommend Natural Pro FUE treatment, which treats hairless areas where oral treatment or injection therapy is not effective, and leaves almost no visible scars. By harvesting hair roots from the back of the head and shaving the area, post-surgery management is easier, and only the required number is transplanted with a natural-looking finish. It can be performed as a same-day surgery using local anesthesia, provides gradual hair growth at an affordable price, and can be safely performed in Japan.
