A significant number of people who have been experiencing hair loss have considered the option of hair transplant. Despite that, not many individuals decide to finally go through the treatment. In spite of the fact that the most recent researches convey that the business sector of hair transplantation is booming quickly, yet a significant number of us have false notions about it. Here are a few myths to hair transplant and some facts about the same:

Myth 1: If you are uncertain about having a hair transplant, try it on a little patch to decide whether the system is for you. 
Fact: Hair transplantation is a surgical process with a lasting result. In case you decide that it is not for you sometime later, it is past the point of no return. It is best to do your exploration first and then go ahead with hair transplant after you are certain about the method and the doctor you have picked.

Myth 2: A specialist can tell, if that you have a lot of hair for a hair transplant just by looking.
Fact: To best evaluate a donor’s supply there are a few variables that need to be considered. The doctor needs to look at the individual's scalp utilizing a densitometer, an instrument that takes the exact estimations of hair thickness. The patient's scalp density is another vital determinant of how much hair is accessible for a hair transplant.

Myth 3: The bigger the quantity of grafts transplanted in one session the better.
Fact: Sessions that are too extensive, can cause imperfect growth and may compel the specialist to transplant hair into ranges that are not perfect.

Myth 4: When extensive quantities of grafts or chunks are transplanted they do not get enough blood supply.
Fact: The blood supply originates from various veins that are all interconnected. It can manage the growth of a huge number of recently transplant hairs at one time. Although, there are constraints. If the grafts are too substantial or if the points are set very close to one another, the blood supply can be overpowered, causing poor growth.


Myth 5: It is ideal to have a hair transplant at a young age
Fact: As a rule, there is a possibility of having an effective hair transplant and a satisfied patient when a person is more matured instead of young. At the point when balding begins at an early age, the hair loss can set in later on.

Myth 6: It is ideal to have a hair transplant when your hair loss is still early, so nobody will take note.
Fact: Hair transplants grow progressively and take an entire year to totally develop. The hair comes in so gradually that nobody will see the procedure. If the transplant is done too soon, nobody will see the outcome either. Furthermore, if a hair transplant is performed too soon, it might quicken hair loss.

Myth 7: Scalp reductions save hair from future balding.
Fact: In a scalp reduction, the specialist tries to reduce the extent of the uncovered territory by truly removing it. This decreases the hair thickness in the back and sides of the scalp and makes the scalp tighter. These two restrict the scope for more hair removal from the donor’s range, leaving the cosmetically more vital front and top of the scalp inadequate. The scar that is a result of the system must be secured with hair. In case you have a concern or query you can always consult an expert & get answers to your questions!
