Two out of three men suffer from some form of hair loss by the age of just 35 and, with baldness affecting the majority of men, hair transplants are expected to become THE treatment of the 2010s.
The so-called noughties saw a noticeable rise in hair restoration surgery but the ‘tens (or ‘teens, depending on who you listen to!) are predicted to see hair transplants boom.
For anyone considering the process, specialists at Why Go Abroad are happy to dispel l some common myths about the treatment. However, the most important thing to note is that now we are well and truly into the 21st Century, transplants are not only affordable (with hair transplant prices from just £3,000) but natural.
In what way are hair transplants natural?
Why Go Abroad advisors firstly take a photograph of the affected area so experts can study and agree on the correct number of grafts for you. Whatever the extent of the surgery, hair transplants use ‘donor hairs’ from your own scalp to fill the bald area.
The ‘donor hairs’ (usually taken from the back of the head) are separated into individual hair follicles to create a totally natural hairline.
The process itself is simply half-a-day’s surgery under local anaesthetic while the results are long-lasting and natural.
The majority of Why Go Abroad’s hair restoration patients are men seeking to tackle male pattern baldness but women affected by hair loss and hair thinning can also be treated via a hair transplant. Eyebrow transplants are also available for those with very fair or almost non-existent eyebrows.
