What is Hair Restoration and How Does it Work?

Hair restoration refers to medical and surgical procedures designed to treat hair loss. The goal is to restore a natural-looking hairline and add density to areas where hair has thinned or disappeared. This is achieved by moving healthy, genetically-resistant hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back or sides of the head) to the balding or thinning areas.

Modern hair restoration is a refined science. It relies on a deep understanding of hair growth cycles, follicle anatomy, and artistic hairline design. At our clinic, we utilize the most advanced techniques to ensure the transplanted hair grows naturally and seamlessly integrates with your existing hair. The two leading methods we specialize in are Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy and hair transplants.

PRP Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses your body's own healing properties to stimulate hair growth. The process involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting this platelet-rich plasma into your scalp.

These platelets are rich in growth factors that can awaken dormant hair follicles, increase blood flow to the scalp, and prolong the growing phase of the hair cycle. PRP is an excellent option for individuals experiencing early-stage hair loss or for those looking to enhance the results of a hair transplant. It's a safe, minimally invasive procedure with no downtime.

Hair Transplant

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that offers a permanent solution to hair loss. It involves harvesting healthy hair follicles from a donor site and meticulously implanting them into the thinning or bald areas. The two primary techniques are Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). Dr. Dele Michael will help you determine which method is best for you based on your hair loss pattern and goals. The result is new hair growth in previously bald areas that is permanent and looks completely natural.

Hair Restoration Recovery Timeline

Understanding the recovery process is crucial for setting realistic expectations. While the timeline can vary from person to person, here is a general overview of what to expect after a hair transplant procedure:

  • First Few Days: You may experience some mild swelling, redness, and discomfort in both the donor and recipient areas. We will provide instructions for managing this.
  • 1-2 Weeks: The initial scabs will fall off. The tiny transplanted hairs may also shed, which is a normal part of the process known as "shock loss."
  • 3-4 Months: New hair growth will begin to emerge. At first, the hairs may be fine, but they will gradually thicken over time.
  • 6-9 Months: You will see significant new growth and a noticeable improvement in hair density.
  • 12-18 Months: The final results will be fully visible, with the transplanted hair having matured into a full, natural-looking head of hair.

Factors Influencing Your Treatment Plan

Your hair restoration journey is unique. Several factors will influence the best course of action for you.

Treatment Type

The choice between PRP, a hair transplant, or a combination of therapies depends on your specific needs. Dr. Dele Michael will conduct a thorough evaluation during your consultation to recommend the most effective treatment plan tailored to you.

Extent of Hair Loss

The severity and pattern of your hair loss are key factors in determining the appropriate procedure. Someone with minor thinning might benefit from PRP therapy, while an individual with more advanced balding will likely require a hair transplant to achieve their desired results.

Insurance Coverage

Hair restoration is typically considered a cosmetic procedure and is often not covered by insurance. However, our team is here to help you understand all the financial aspects of your treatment. Everyone deserves to feel confident, and we offer various financing options to make your hair restoration goals more attainable. We are committed to providing transparent pricing and will work with you to find a plan that fits your budget. Ready to take the first step toward a new you?
