Don’t Fall Into the “Discount” Hair Transplant Trap!
When you start recognizing that Hair Loss is important for you to address, it’s a common instinct to react and look for the fastest, most affordable solution to the problem. But that’s not the best way to respond to a medical condition, especially if you are seeking a medical solution.
Hair Transplantation has been widely available for the better part of a century, and the first recorded instance was well over 100 years ago! But as with any process, much has changed in the time since that first Transplantation procedure.
Hair Transplantation Is a Medical Procedure
Medicine and medical procedures have developed to amazing levels, especially in the past twenty years with the advances in micro-procedures and laser technology. But with all of those advances come necessary advancements in patient safety, and you want the safest, most professional surgeons and doctors treating you, no matter how “routine” a procedure is.
There is a common misconception that just because Hair Transplantation is such a common occurrence, it’s perfectly safe and pretty much the same no matter where you go for the procedure. That could not be further from the truth.
There are technological advances in Hair Transplantation, new knowledge gained from constant research, and the experience that practicing doctors and surgeons gain from keeping up-to-date on all of those processes. You want only the best technology, the best research, and the best Hair Transplantation specialist to ensure the most successful experience possible.
You Want A Hair Transplant Specialist Dedicated To You As A Person
Many places that offer discount Hair Transplant do so as a means of bringing clients in the door to either boost other elements of their practice, or cycle as many patients through the door as possible to increase their bottom line.
Medical Hair Transplantation has evolved a lot over the years. With Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) being the most common, effective, and safest, procedures available today. An experienced specialist might have a preference in procedure, but should always look to find the most appropriate type of Transplant for your needs.
If you find yourself in the consultation and the doctor doesn’t ask you about what your expectations are, what kind of active lifestyle you have, and other questions that can guide a decision for the best procedure for your needs, you should reconsider your choice and find someone who sees you as a person seeking treatment for your Hair Loss rather than the next time-slot in their appointment book.
You should always do your research before committing to a procedure, and here are some of the steps you can use to ensure you make the best decision:
- Research the doctors performing the procedures, not just the office or practice.
- Look for customer reviews from third-party sites – don’t automatically trust what you read on their website.
- Look into the schools the doctors attended to see if they have adequate specialization in Hair Transplantation.
- If you go for a consultation and receive a sales pitch instead, you know they are focused on the money – not the patient.
- If the procedure is out-of-country, make sure you look into other peoples’ experiences from those countries as well.
- Be smart – and remember that paying more to get a licensed, professional Hair Transplant procedure will increase your chance of initial Transplantation success, and reduce the need for follow-up procedures.
So What Could Really Go Wrong? It’s Just A Hair Transplant!
Unfortunately, a lot of things can go wrong in a Hair Transplant procedure without the proper caution, training, and experience.
Hair Transplantation is exactly that – taking hair from one place and applying it to another. Whether this is one follicle at a time using FUE, or strips of follicles using FUT, the care with which the doctor performs the procedure, and the locations from which the follicles are extracted can make a difference in your final look.
If a procedure is rushed, or if the person conducting it is careless, the scarring that occurs might cause more damage to both the restored and donor areas, eliminating the potential for future Transplants to enhance or improve the first procedure.
Another problem that can occur is a lack of adequate consultation with the patient. In this case, the patient might not have known to disclose certain requirements or activities to the doctor, leading to post-op damage to the transplanted areas that might require further procedures or surgeries to correct.
Finally, and most importantly, Hair Transplantation is a surgical procedure – and your goal with a Hair Transplant is to improve your well-being and maybe even your health, not make matters worse. Ensuring that you are visiting the best possible Surgical Hair Transplant Specialist, not the cheapest possible, will ensure you can make the most of your future after the procedure.
