It is associated with middle life for gentlemen, but also for some ladies. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with losing your hair, but for people who have jobs or reputations that depend on their appearance, it can be a devastating blow.
In 2024, there are many options to look at when it comes to restoring lost hair, but for many, wigs are not feasible, and with the rise and success of hair transplants, why would you want a wig?
Hair transplants are considered a minor form of surgery, but like any other type, you need to make sure that when you choose your hair transplant provider, you get the best you can afford. So here’s what you need to look for from these professionals to get that luscious head of hair you deserve.
Expertise
First, you need to look at the professional. You should check if you are looking for one FUE hair transplant (follicular unit extraction) or a DHI hair transplant (direct hair implant). The professional and clinic you choose will have the expertise needed in this area. Be sure to visit the website and look for professional qualifications and references. You will also want to check that the clinic or hospital is affiliated with the appropriate medical or professional organizations, even if the clinic is located abroad.
Reputation
This can be more difficult if you want to choose a clinic or hospital abroad. However, it is worth researching the reputation of any hair transplant clinic where you intend to undergo this procedure.
So make sure you take the time to read reviews and testimonials from previous patients the clinic has had. Make sure you don’t just read the positive reviews; look for any negative reviews and see how the clinic in question responds to these reviews. This shows how seriously they take customer service. If all you find are negative reviews, it may be best to skip that clinic and look for one with some more positive feedback!
Wallet
Every cosmetic surgeon, whether performing hair transplants or breast augmentation, should have a portfolio of their work. As before, you should be able to find this online during your initial research.
Be sure to ask questions about any photos that raise concerns and pay attention to whether the surgeon lets you look through the photos at your own pace, or tries to rush you. If the latter is the case, then it might be best to skip that clinic again!
Technology
Hair transplantation is an advanced procedure that requires state-of-the-art technology for the results to be successful. In any modern clinic you should see a robotic system used to extract hair follicles and then reimplant them.
When you visit the clinic, make sure you ask the surgeon to see all the technology he will use so you have an idea of what the procedure entails and what to expect during implantation.
