Q: What is hair transplant surgery?
A: Hair transplantation is the surgical process of moving your own hair from the back of your head (donor area) to the needed areas on top.
Q: Is hair transplant surgery expensive?
A: Dr. Hirsch makes hair transplantation a procedure that is affordable to almost everyone. Dr. Hirsch handles all consultations and performs all surgeries. This personal one-on-one patient care allows our office to charge less than the bigger hair centers while still offering patients the highest quality results possible. Remember, compared to other alternative hair systems, hair transplantation is quite affordable.
Q: Do hair transplants look natural?
A: Dr. Hirsch uses only the most advanced methods available. Hair is transferred one follicle at a time (follicular unit micrografting) which enables your hair transplant results to be virtually undetectable. Combining natural follicular units and proper angulation, your result will be completely natural.
Q: Do hair transplants work for women?
A: Yes, many women suffer similar hair loss patterns as men do and can equally benefit from the hair transplant procedure. It can also be a very successful option for covering and hiding hair loss caused by cosmetic, surgical procedures (i.e. face-lifts/ brow-lifts). Thanks to the latest techniques, Dr. Hirsch can place hair grafts in and around the scar, making it virtually undetectable.
Q: Do hair transplants work?
A: Yes, hair transplants have been performed for over 50 years and have proven to be successful. Both men and women have had procedures and soon had natural looking hair. See our patient testimonials page by just a few of our satisfied clients.
Q: At what age should patients consider hair transplant surgery?
A: There are no age restriction in regards to hair transplants. At AHR we have treated patients in their 20’s as well as patients well into their 80’s. Dr. Hirsch’s wide knowledge of hair transplantation allows him to cater accordingly to every individual regardless of their age.
Q: Do hair transplants work on any type of hair?
A: Yes, hair transplant surgery is effective on any type of hair and Dr. Hirsch uses his expertise to ensure proper placement for natural growth.
Q: Is surgery painful?
A: Patients are suprised how minimal their pain is both during and after. The use of the new NeoGraft method further reduces pain as the need for removal of a donor strip is elminated.
Q: What if I have the old "plug" style transplant?
A: Dr. Hirsch is adept at repairing old, undesirable hair procedures and transforming them into corrected natural looking results. Although many people with the “plug” style transplants are understandably hesitant to try again, it would be a benefit to have a complimentary consult with Dr. Hirsch.
