Hair loss, affecting many people of all genders, can be a source of insecurity, impacting confidence. This can lead individuals to seek solutions, like consulting a qualified hair transplant surgeon, to navigate this appearance change and regain self-confidence.
For both men and women, the hair can be their best asset or worst feature. It is their literal crowning glory, which is why hair transplant in the Philippines has quickly become one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures in recent years. Hair transplant provides a permanent and natural-looking solution to hair loss, which cannot be obtained through the use of wigs and hair regrowth formulas.
– The procedure to restore the thickness, fullness and symmetry, and stimulate healthy regrowth, of the eyebrows.
– The procedure to restore and improve the length and density of the eyelashes.
– The procedure focused on restoring hair in facial areas where hair is lacking or missing. For men, facial hair transplant can be further divided into the following categories:
– Recognized as the gold standard in hair transplant surgery, FUT, which is also known as strip harvesting, involves obtaining a strip of scalp from which grafts are harvested and transplanted to the recipient site.
– Unlike with FUT where a strip of hair strip is harvested, with FUE, individual follicular units are obtained and painstakingly implanted into the recipient site one by one.
Both FUT and FUE are performed under mild sedation, and may take up to 12-18 hours, depending on the type of transplant procedure being done.

In hair transplant surgery, a thin strip of scalp containing healthy hair follicles, called a hair graft, is extracted from a dense area at the back or sides of the head. This graft is then meticulously dissected into smaller units, each containing one to several follicles. These individual follicular units are then transplanted into the bald or thinning areas of the scalp.
Hair transplants offer a potential solution for individuals experiencing hair loss due to genetics, hormonal fluctuations, or scalp scarring. This procedure can restore a receding hairline, increase hair density, and boost overall appearance and self-confidence.

Hair loss is a common occurrence, affecting both men and women. It is estimated that up to 50% of women and 80% of men will experience noticeable hair loss at some point in their lives. Factors such as genetics, aging, hormonal changes, and certain medical conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can contribute to hair loss.
The hair transplant procedure typically involves removing healthy hair follicles from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the head) and grafting them onto the recipient area where hair is thinning or balding. The harvested grafts are then carefully transplanted into tiny incisions made in the recipient area.
During a hair transplant, local anesthesia is used to numb the scalp, ensuring that the procedure is relatively painless. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or soreness after the surgery, but this can be managed with medication prescribed by the surgeon. Overall, the pain associated with a hair transplant is minimal.
Ideal candidates for hair transplants have stabilized hair loss patterns and a sufficient amount of healthy donor hair on the scalp. Factors such as overall health, age, hair texture, and realistic expectations also play a crucial role in determining candidacy. Consulting with a qualified hair transplant surgeon can provide a comprehensive evaluation of suitability and explore personalized options for achieving your desired outcome.
The best hair transplant procedure depends on individual factors such as hair loss pattern, available donor hair, and the expertise of the surgeon. Techniques like follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE) are commonly performed, each with its own advantages and considerations. The choice of procedure should be discussed with a trusted hair transplant specialist based on personalized needs and goals.
Hair transplantation is considered a permanent solution as the transplanted hair follicles are typically resistant to balding. However, it’s important to note that existing hair loss patterns may continue, and further hair loss in non-transplanted areas of the scalp may occur over time. Adhering to post-operative care instructions and maintaining overall scalp health can optimize long-term results.
