A widening part. More strands in your hairbrush or comb each day. Noticeable thinning. All of these changes can leave you wondering what you can do to restore a healthy head of hair.
Fortunately, help is available from the team at Cary Laser, Aesthetics, and Center for Hair Restoration. If you live in or around Cary, North Carolina, Vijaya Polavaram, MD, offers state-of-the-art hair restoration treatments, including hair transplants.
Hair transplants work by moving healthy hair follicles from an area of your scalp where you have thicker hair to an area that has thinner or no hair. Done properly, hair transplantation allows those healthy cells to survive transplantation and begin to grow new hair in their new location.
Hair transplantation is a great treatment option for people who want to achieve thicker, fuller hair. Some of the conditions that bring people in for hair transplants include:
There are several different ways to perform hair transplants. Dr. Polavaram works closely with you to determine the best approach for your hair restoration needs. In some cases, a combination of techniques offers the best option.
Many people are well-suited for this type of hair restoration. The most important consideration is that you have areas of your scalp that still have thick hair. Dr. Polavaram needs a source of hair grafting that will still look healthy even after removing a portion of hair follicles.
The texture, color, and waviness or curliness of your hair also factors into how hair transplants will look. Dr. Polavaram explains what to expect and helps guide you to the techniques that best align with your needs.
As with all surgical procedures, good circulation is a critical part of a successful outcome. If you’re a smoker, you should consider trying to quit in advance of your hair transplant procedure. Smoking inhibits your circulation, which reduces your body’s natural healing abilities. Finding a way to quit will help you achieve the best possible hair transplant results.
Be sure to share your full medical history with Dr. Polavaram prior to your procedure. Certain conditions and medications can increase your risk of complications during hair transplantation.
