<h2>What is a Hair Transplant?</h2><p>A hair transplant is a medical procedure that involves moving hair follicles from one part of the body, usually the back or sides of the scalp (known as the donor area), to a bald or thinning part of the scalp (the recipient area). This technique is primarily used to treat male pattern baldness but can also be used to reshape forehead, to treat female pattern baldness, restore eyelashes, eyebrows, beard hair and to fill in scars caused by accidents or surgery such as face-lifts and previous hair transplants.<img id="ra6yl8fx5clyc1usnq" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1488893441583-0054a3aca255?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyM3x8aGFpciUyMHRyYW5zcGxhbnR8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzIwMzgzOTA4fDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="hair transplant" class="object-cover bg-gray-100" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1488893441583-0054a3aca255?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwyM3x8aGFpciUyMHRyYW5zcGxhbnR8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzIwMzgzOTA4fDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" style="font-family: var(--body-fontFamily); font-size: calc(18px * var(--body-fontSize, 1)); font-style: var(--body-fontStyle, normal); font-weight: var(--body-fontWeight, 400); aspect-ratio: 16 / 9;"></p><h2><br></h2><h3>Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)</h3><p>In FUE, surgeons extract individual hair follicles from the donor area. They then implant these follicles in the thinning area. This method leaves tiny, dot-like scars that are less noticeable.</p><figure id="figure-lete5b04xlyc1uvb6"><img id="lete5b04xlyc1uvb6" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/26ExMmbgf0WyjkP18YSC1B6ZaLo146hedq7fmfUUQQf4IxktKAySp1iBo7dHdUk7.jpg" alt="hair tranplant result" title="hair tranplant result" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="man with a large baldness - before and after hair transplant" data-positionX="null" data-positionY="null" data-fullWidth="false"/><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">man with a large baldness - before and after hair transplant</figcaption></figure><p>The procedure usually takes several hours. It depends on the number of grafts needed. Surgeons use local anesthesia to numb the area.

One common concern for many patients is how to sleep comfortably and safely after the procedure. Here are some tips to help you get a good night's sleep while protecting your newly transplanted hair.</p><h3>1. Sleep with Your Head Elevated</h3><p>It's recommended to sleep with your head elevated for the first few days after the hair transplant. This can help reduce swelling and promote proper healing. Use travel pillow to keep your head elevated while you sleep.&nbsp;A travel pillow can provide support and prevent your head from coming into direct contact with the pillowcase. This can help reduce the risk of friction and damage to the transplanted area while you sleep.</p><p><br></p><figure id="figure-7rj2ivhjmols1pjw38"><img id="7rj2ivhjmols1pjw38" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/213k1fFDBUpALIg7N80elzfaUJk0O7DjBzoipRXopSiOSOLVKFskTMUk6i1bY908.jpg" alt="head elevated pillow sleeping after hair transplant" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="Sleeping position after hair transplant" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/213k1fFDBUpALIg7N80elzfaUJk0O7DjBzoipRXopSiOSOLVKFskTMUk6i1bY908.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Sleeping position after hair transplant</figcaption></figure><h3>2. Avoid Sleeping on Your Stomach</h3><p>Try to avoid sleeping on your stomach as it can put pressure on your scalp and potentially dislodge the newly transplanted hair follicles. Also it may result in heavy face swelling. Sleeping on your back&nbsp; is a better option during the initial recovery period.</p><figure id="figure-d7yfjjqginls1pvsz8"><img id="d7yfjjqginls1pvsz8" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1egtka4CCETql7COkjLOOch7Fg1OR8E6PYw9LKyL55tJnOriWPIlEMwSwWXY4P7t.jpg" alt="sleeping position after hair transplant" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="Sleeping position after hair transplant" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1egtka4CCETql7COkjLOOch7Fg1OR8E6PYw9LKyL55tJnOriWPIlEMwSwWXY4P7t.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Sleeping position after hair transplant</figcaption></figure><h3>3. Protect Your Pillowcase</h3><p>We recommend using underpads for extra hygiene. You will need them to protect your pillowcase and your travel pillow from the fluids that will leak from your head after hair transplant.</p><figure id="figure-wi882f5w57ls1pjxs2"><img id="wi882f5w57ls1pjxs2" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/3U0y9lqzeyaWrdwE5uTKwWQDakM6wDl0hydpx4GJAQmi6050e35YP3Uslhm0iFEP.jpg" alt="travel pillow" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="correct position of sleeping after hair transplant" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/3U0y9lqzeyaWrdwE5uTKwWQDakM6wDl0hydpx4GJAQmi6050e35YP3Uslhm0iFEP.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">correct position of sleeping after hair transplant</figcaption></figure><h3>4. Follow Your Surgeon's Recommendations</h3><p>Every patient's recovery process may vary, so it's crucial to follow the specific post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon. They may have personalized recommendations based on your individual case.</p><h3>5. Avoid Scratching or Rubbing Your Scalp</h3><p>It's essential to resist the urge to scratch or rub your scalp, especially while you sleep. Doing so can disrupt the healing process and potentially damage the newly transplanted hair follicles.</p><h3>6. Stay Hydrated</h3><p>Proper hydration is essential for overall healing, including the recovery of your scalp after a hair transplant. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support the healing process.</p><p>By following these tips and taking the necessary precautions, you can sleep comfortably and protect your newly transplanted hair. Remember that the initial recovery period is crucial for the success of your hair transplant, so it's important to prioritize proper care and rest.</p><p>Wish you the best results,</p><p>With Love.</p><p>Bellus Team.</p><p><br></p>

Sleeping After Hair Transplant

<p>When it comes to hair transplantation, two popular methods - DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) and FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) are discussed. Both procedures are effective in restoring hair and providing natural-looking results, but they differ in their approach.</p><p>Before we start, I wanted to address your attention to one fact - FUE is an extraction technology and DHI is implantation technology. So it s not correct when we compare them with each other. What we are really comparing are implantation technologies: DHI and Manual Implantation ( which is always mistakenly referred as FUE).</p><h3>DHI: Direct Hair Implantation</h3><p>DHI is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique that involves the extraction of hair follicles from the donor area and their direct implantation into the recipient area using a specialized tool called a Choi Implanter Pen. This method allows us to place hair in between existing hair without damaging surrounding follicles and filling up bald spots.&nbsp;<br><br></p><figure id="figure-elikwes8qrls13z6im"><iframe id="elikwes8qrls13z6im" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GlYrI8sQL9g" class="w-full bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" allowfullscreen="" data-url="https://youtu.be/GlYrI8sQL9g?si=TgSxGAYpz0JrMK-H" data-corners="default" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GlYrI8sQL9g" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></iframe></figure><h3>FUE: Follicular Unit Extraction with manual implantation</h3><p>On the other hand, we have a technique when grafts are firstly extracted from donor area and then manually implanted into the channels opened by the doctor, the channels were opened to match patients natural hair growth direction and to form natural hairline.&nbsp;<br></p><figure id="figure-28rw4ji0adls143pcm"><img id="28rw4ji0adls143pcm" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2151p7DEjKouPkJSSRmTkhGDZM2Fh2I97IMamjOsMkDs0L6HpvMgyT7vQ1lq1sDr.jpg" alt="FUE hair transplant on large baldness" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="After FUE manual hair transplant - large baldness restoration " data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2151p7DEjKouPkJSSRmTkhGDZM2Fh2I97IMamjOsMkDs0L6HpvMgyT7vQ1lq1sDr.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: undefined undefined;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">After FUE manual hair transplant - large baldness restoration</figcaption></figure><h3>Advantages of DHI</h3><p>One of the key advantages of DHI is its ability to achieve high hair density and fill in empty spots between hair without damaging them. Perfectly suits patients with diffusal alopecia types and women suffering with female pattern hair loss. This technique is less invasive so it leaves skin cleaner what makes it easier to look after it during the first days after operation.&nbsp;</p><h3>Advantages of FUE with manual implanting</h3><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: calc(16px * var(--body-fontSize, 1)); font-style: var(--body-fontStyle, normal); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit; font-size: calc(16px * var(--body-fontSize, 1)); font-style: var(--body-fontStyle, normal); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">This technology gives a surgeon precise control of depth and hair direction what give us possibility to design a new hair pattern for patients with larger problem zones in order to create a more dense look using less grafts. And we have to admit that this technique make it possible for surgeons to create most natural looking hairlines, so it's perfect for those people who lost their hairline or lost significant amount of hair.&nbsp;</span></p><h3>Choosing the Right Method</h3><p>When deciding between DHI and FUE, it's important to consider your specific hair restoration goals, hairline design, and the expertise of the hair transplant surgeon. Both methods have their unique advantages, and the choice between the two should be based on individual preferences and the recommendations of a qualified hair transplant specialist.</p><p>Whether you opt for DHI or FUE, it's essential to consult with a reputable hair transplant clinic and undergo a thorough evaluation to determine the most suitable approach for your hair restoration needs.</p><figure id="figure-u9pu08qc7ls149i6e"><iframe id="u9pu08qc7ls149i6e" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TO9OaImGGUY" class="w-full bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" allowfullscreen="" data-url="https://youtube.com/shorts/TO9OaImGGUY?si=TSHwWPcF3l-wrJ4C" data-corners="default" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TO9OaImGGUY" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></iframe></figure><figure id="figure-gatjfsqt5els12jj24"><figure id="figure-evpnplcwxls148zey"><iframe id="evpnplcwxls148zey" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sfOHHz8gY5Q" class="w-full bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" allowfullscreen="" data-url="https://youtu.be/sfOHHz8gY5Q?si=T53ylYhQuxF1DutF" data-corners="default" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sfOHHz8gY5Q" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></iframe></figure></figure><p>Ultimately, both DHI and FUE are effective hair transplantation techniques that have helped countless individuals regain their confidence and achieve natural-looking, permanent hair restoration results.</p><p>If you have any questions regarding this topic, you can always contact us by our phone number or email.&nbsp;<br>Good Luck,&nbsp;</p><p>With Love</p><p>❤️ Bellus Team ❤️</p><figure id="figure-0ocairder8ls14bbh9"><img id="0ocairder8ls14bbh9" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/18T16i86OPtpFYYmffhcvxpnyZxCI2HvHyBByxeSip7zOVpv38dCo74O4R4EiKUc.jpg" alt="Hair transplant team" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="Taking photos with our patients after hair transplant procedure" data-positionX="undefined" data-positionY="undefined" data-fullWidth="false"/><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Taking photos with our patients after hair transplant procedure</figcaption></figure>

Quick Check List For Your Hair Transplant Day

<p>Considering a hair transplant is a big decision that requires careful thought and research. It's important to weigh the pros and cons and understand what to expect before undergoing the procedure. Here are 10 things to consider before getting a hair transplant:</p><h3>1. Hair Loss Pattern</h3><p>Before deciding on a hair transplant, it's crucial to understand your hair loss pattern. Not all types of hair loss are suitable for transplantation, so consulting with a qualified professional to assess your specific situation is essential.</p><figure id="figure-9fv3qbwwx9lrwn9arp"><img id="9fv3qbwwx9lrwn9arp" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/12rJIK81njy6tydqxec4rcFhTp2EpjSX6HMkemqjiJE2dMljYheTXODJhd2CWiZA.jpg" alt="hair loss pattern" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="Male pattern hair loss" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/12rJIK81njy6tydqxec4rcFhTp2EpjSX6HMkemqjiJE2dMljYheTXODJhd2CWiZA.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Male pattern hair loss</figcaption></figure><h3>2. Eligibility</h3><p>Not everyone is a candidate for a hair transplant. Factors such as age, overall health, and the extent of hair loss will determine your eligibility for the procedure. A thorough evaluation by a specialist is necessary to determine if you are a suitable candidate.</p><figure id="figure-rylzhjzqbhlrwnj54u"><img id="rylzhjzqbhlrwnj54u" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/19depRifokhf2PCvBCCRg8kr8h9UPJ7sWtrlF3BjTlIhGPq9pUxbfcgGwQ5IIBYr.jpg" alt="Strong donor zone for hair transplant " class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="Example of a good quality donor zone for hair transplant " data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/19depRifokhf2PCvBCCRg8kr8h9UPJ7sWtrlF3BjTlIhGPq9pUxbfcgGwQ5IIBYr.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: undefined undefined;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Example of a good quality donor zone for hair transplant</figcaption></figure><p><br></p><h3>3. Expectations</h3><p>Having realistic expectations is key. A hair transplant can improve the appearance of thinning or balding areas, but it's important to understand that it may not result in a natural density. Hair transplant result depends on your baldness stage and donor material quality. Discussing your expectations with a specialist will help manage your hopes for the outcome.</p><p><br></p><figure id="figure-iykumvn3mlrwn9bt5"><img id="iykumvn3mlrwn9bt5" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/104m1pfNBvjHhlpg0wIDVFevWFmPZbKEwwh5sWAYxT0SGu9YDdEAl2eawTJ3HZxy.jpg" alt="hair transplant expectations" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="Hair transplant result of a man with large baldness and weak donor area." data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/104m1pfNBvjHhlpg0wIDVFevWFmPZbKEwwh5sWAYxT0SGu9YDdEAl2eawTJ3HZxy.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Hair transplant result of a man with large baldness and weak donor area.</figcaption></figure><h3>4. Procedure Options</h3><p>The most advanced technology of hair transplant is follicular unit extraction (FUE). There is a submethod of FUE called DHI, which is sometimes mistakenly discussed as a separate technique, but it really is just a technique of grafts implantation and not an extraction technology, so when DHI is performed, graft extraction is done using FUE. Each channel opening technique has its own advantages and considerations. You have to discuss your options with a specialist, who can explain if it s better to implant your hair using Choi implanters (DHI) for better placement between existing hair or stick to a classic channel opening technology to achieve better hair direction performance and natural looking hairline.&nbsp;<br><br></p><figure id="figure-gclmsx1rdlrwobqcl"><img id="gclmsx1rdlrwobqcl" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/3asJDIKj5Zu4IEDsIWmABAwIRg3NrA5UmxWiLoXecbXz25PjvByDUgDAg07U8PHh.jpg" alt="After hair transplant " class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="Happy patients after hair transplant procedure" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/3asJDIKj5Zu4IEDsIWmABAwIRg3NrA5UmxWiLoXecbXz25PjvByDUgDAg07U8PHh.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Happy patients after hair transplant procedure</figcaption></figure><p><br></p><h3>5. Researching Surgeons</h3><p>Research the qualifications and experience of potential surgeons, and look for before-and-after photos of their previous work. A skilled and reputable surgeon can make a significant difference in the success of your hair transplant. Be aware of dozens of fake instagram doctors and self proclaimed professors. Don't trust the "specialists" who tell you what you want to hear - who promise you absolutely natural density, donor hair regrow on donor zone, 7.000 grafts per one FUE session and other miracles.

10 things to consider before getting a hair transplant.

<h2>The 5 Most Common Myths About Hair Transplants Debunked</h2><p>When it comes to hair loss, many people consider hair transplants as a potential solution. However, there are several myths and misconceptions surrounding this procedure that often deter individuals from exploring it further. In this blog post, we aim to debunk the five most common myths about hair transplants and provide you with accurate information to make an informed decision.</p><h3>Myth 1: Hair transplants are only for men</h3><p>Contrary to popular belief, hair transplants are not exclusive to men. While it is true that male pattern baldness is more prevalent, women can also experience hair loss due to various reasons such as hormonal changes, genetics, or medical conditions. Hair transplant procedures can be tailored to address the specific needs of both men and women, ensuring a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.</p><p><br></p><h3>Myth 2: Hair transplants are painful</h3><p>One of the biggest concerns people have about hair transplants is the fear of pain. However, advancements in technology and techniques have made the procedure virtually painless. Local anesthesia is administered to numb the scalp during the surgery, ensuring minimal discomfort. Additionally, post-operative pain is typically mild and can be easily managed with prescribed medication.</p><figure id="figure-3s2kfymy9lruy41yn"><img id="3s2kfymy9lruy41yn" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/9utAYnunjkfK7FUTf7RPCtYstsIZchRA3KgdlP6334rud4eEQeC2FX7eFRHn65wL.jpg" alt="painless hair transplant" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="Taking a photo after checking out of the clinic - heading to the hotel after hair transplant procedure is done." data-positionX="null" data-positionY="null"/><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Taking a photo after checking out of the clinic - heading to the hotel after hair transplant procedure is done.</figcaption></figure><h3>Myth 3: Hair transplants look unnatural</h3><p>Gone are the days of obvious hair plugs and unnatural-looking hairlines. With modern hair transplant techniques, such as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), individual hair follicles are carefully extracted and transplanted to mimic the natural growth pattern of your hair. Skilled surgeons take into account factors like hair density, direction, and angle to create a seamless and undetectable result.</p><figure id="figure-cjwp6snkrlruy433y"><img id="cjwp6snkrlruy433y" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/35ukiS0I7SQgcQ9RgRo4LQhsulvAYnhrc7B17jwoS953xH6U1Ci35t9cL0QZ7Hr7.jpg" alt="natural hair transplant" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="Hair transplant result of Oleg (our patient from Russia)" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/35ukiS0I7SQgcQ9RgRo4LQhsulvAYnhrc7B17jwoS953xH6U1Ci35t9cL0QZ7Hr7.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Hair transplant result of Oleg (our patient from Russia)</figcaption></figure><h3>Myth 4: Hair transplants require extensive downtime</h3><p>Another common misconception is that hair transplant procedures require lengthy downtime and a prolonged recovery period. While it is normal to experience some swelling and redness immediately after the surgery, these side effects typically subside within a few days. Most individuals can resume their regular activities within a week, with the transplanted hair starting to grow within a few months.</p><figure id="figure-l76t3dalxlruy448s"><img id="l76t3dalxlruy448s" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/35wxS7sn9ACegCfHgJOtHO4OCnM6dEOHOQe5zyzfgJlsg2RRpOdIQ6wvAy3U3f5E.jpg" alt="hair transplant recovery" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="10 days after hair transplant " data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/35wxS7sn9ACegCfHgJOtHO4OCnM6dEOHOQe5zyzfgJlsg2RRpOdIQ6wvAy3U3f5E.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">10 days after hair transplant</figcaption></figure><h3>Myth 5: Hair transplants are not permanent</h3><p>Some people believe that hair transplants are temporary and that the transplanted hair will eventually fall out. However, hair transplants are, in fact, a permanent solution to hair loss. The transplanted hair follicles are taken from areas of the scalp that are resistant to balding, ensuring their longevity. Once the transplanted hair starts to grow, it will continue to do so just like your natural hair.</p><p><br></p><p>Now that we have debunked these common myths about hair transplants, it is important to consult with a qualified hair transplant specialist to determine if this procedure is right for you. Remember, accurate information is key when making decisions about your hair and overall well-being.</p><p>Have you considered a hair transplant before? Do you have questions about hair transplant?
