How long does it take for hair transplantation to be effective? Will there be scars after hair transplantation?

Many people who love beauty will choose to have hair transplantation in order to make their hairline look better or to solve the problem of less or scarce hair. Hair transplantation is now a very safe and effective plastic surgery method.

First, the overall hairline of the patient is designed. After the hairline is designed, the hair style of the transplanted part can be further designed. After the design is completed, the density of the hair can be measured at the back of the head where the hair is taken, and the area to be extracted can be calculated. After all these are prepared, the number of hair follicles required can be extracted using professional instruments under local anesthesia. The extracted hair follicles will be sent to the hair follicle cultivation room for cultivation and separation. The separation process requires 6-7 professionals, and it takes 2-3 hours to check the nature and quality of the hair follicles during this period. The patient can take a nap in the lounge, watch TV or surf the Internet, or eat a small amount of food. When 80% of the hair follicles are separated, the patient can undergo local anesthesia to undergo the hair follicle unit transplantation surgery. The transplantation process is generally longer. The patient will not feel pain during the operation. You can go home immediately after the operation without bandaging. You can rinse your hair with cold boiled water 24 hours after the operation, and you can wash your hair normally on the 4th day. The sutures at the back of the head will be removed after the 10th day. You can see immediate results after hair transplantation, but the results are not complete. Because hair transplantation is not just a simple transplant of hair follicles, but also a part of the hair shaft tissue, which will create a certain visual effect. You can see new hair growing in the hair loss area, but this is only the effect of the hair shaft, not the complete effect of hair transplantation. The complete effect of hair transplantation is generally seen six months or nine months after hair transplantation. Only then can you see the complete effect of hair transplantation. About half a month after hair transplantation, there will be a period of hair shedding. At this time, the old hair shafts that were transplanted before will fall off. The old hair shafts fall off and new hair grows.

Because the hair follicles are taken from the back of the head, an incision will be made there, which will leave some scars. However, if you take good care of the scars, they will gradually fade, and the hair will cover the scars, so there is no need to worry. In addition, in the hair planting area, the hair planting technology currently used has a better effect and generally does not leave scars.

1. The area of ​​hair loss of the beauty enthusiast: In some places, hair transplantation is calculated based on the area, and in some places it is calculated based on the number of hair follicles. The density depends on the beauty enthusiast's own choice. The larger the area, the more hair follicles are needed, and the higher the price may be.

2. The technology used in hair transplant surgery: Different technologies have different costs. Why is this? It is mainly related to the precision of the technology. For example, fue scarless hair transplantation requires to be truly scarless. We know that there will be certain scars after general surgery. Although there is only a linear scar, it will still be left. However, fue technology requires that the scars after the surgery are the same as those that grow naturally, which are pinhole-shaped scars. After recovery, there are no scars left, so the price will naturally be a little more expensive.

3. The nature of the hair transplant hospital: If you choose a regular hair transplant hospital, the cost of hair transplant will be controlled by the government and cannot be increased at will. However, some small private or beauty salons are rarely subject to price regulation by the government during treatment. The choice of a hair transplant hospital is also very important.
