Individual procedure expenses vary but typically begin around R30,000.
A hair implant operation seldom costs more than R60,000. Expect to cost more if you need a second or significant surgery, are badly balding, or both.
What exactly is a hair transplant?
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure in which a dermatologist or plastic surgeon transplants hair to a bald region on the head. Hair is often moved from the top or front of the head to the side or back of the head by the surgeon. Hair transplants are frequently performed in a doctor’s office under local anesthesia.
Do hair transplants cause pain?
The transplant location, as well as the region where the hair was taken, will most likely be uncomfortable or inflamed. Your surgeon may recommend pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) and medicines to avoid infections in the coming days.
Is hair loss normal after a hair transplant?
Yes. Temporary hair loss is common after a hair transplant.
This is a temporary adverse effect of hair restoration therapy that is pretty amusing.
Is hair transplantation a permanent procedure?
Hair transplantation, also known as hair restoration, is an outpatient procedure that uses micrografting technology to transplant your own hair follicles to thinning regions of your scalp. The results of a hair transplant are visible and considered permanent.
How long do hair transplants last?
Fresh hair begins to develop 90 to 100 days later, or around three months later, and continues to grow regularly. The transplanted hairs begin to seem natural approximately six months after the treatment and will continue to grow for the rest of your life.
Can I wear a hat once my hair has been restored?
Most doctors will tell you to avoid wearing a hat or cap for at least 10 days. For 7-10 days, your implanted grafts must root in the balding regions. Every follicular unit must remain in place without interruption to safeguard the grafts and get the finest, long-term results.
How am I going to cover my head now that I’ve had hair transplants?
Wearing a loose-fitting cap (like a fisherman’s hat) or a loose, light hood will protect you while lowering the risk of harming your hair transplants. Avoid wearing any headwear that are too tight, such as a beanie or a ball cap.
