What are hair follicular unit grafts and micro-grafts?
A follicular unit is a group of hair as it naturally occurs. Individual follicular units are very small and grow in an irregular pattern. Follicular units are usually preserved in their natural
composition. This is important because it maximizes the supply of donor hair and contributes to the finest, most natural looking result.
A micro-graft is a graft with 1, 2 or 3 hairs. The goal of any hair transplant procedure is to provide the patient with a very natural look, maintaining virtually undetectable results and optimal
density without compromising the donor area. Multiple techniques can be effective but it is the responsibility of the surgeon to select the best method for obtaining a patient's specific goal.
Am I a candidate for a hair transplant?
During your consultation with one of our hair loss specialists you will be educated on the causes of hair loss and available treatment options. After your evaluation by a physician, a final
determination will be made as to whether you are a candidate for a hair transplant procedure. They will analyze your individual hair loss, discuss expectations and outline your options.
Factors that determine candidacy for the procedure include the number of hair grafts that are necessary to produce the results your desire, availability and density of donor hair, hair color, skin
color, hair texture, and potential future hair loss.
Can I afford a hair transplant?
Hair replacement is more affordable today than ever. After a thorough examination of your hair loss and discussion of your expectations, we will be able to provide a realistic estimate of the time
and expense necessary to achieve your goal.
The fees charged by many hair transplant surgeons may cause a great deal of confusion. Some surgeons charge by the graft, others by the hair, and still others by the session. Our goal is to help you
break through all this confusion and empower you with the information you need to analyze the costs and make an informed decision.
Please note, although expense is an important consideration, it should not be the only consideration. The important consideration for any patient is to receive the natural coverage and density
desired within the budget allowed. Most physicians accept all major credit cards and can assist you with financing.
Unlike other methods of hair loss treatment, the cost of each surgical procedure is a one-time expense and can be tailored to your individual circumstances and budget. more
