Yes, a hair replacement system is almost always a better option for our clients than a hair transplant. Hair transplants and surgical hair replacement are only successful in a small percentage of cases. In order for surgical hair replacement to be successful, a person must have an ample amount of healthy hair that can serve as transplant or “donor” hair. These areas of healthy hair are generally found at the sides and back of the head. During surgical hair replacement procedures, the hair is removed from these healthy donor areas and transplanted to areas of baldness or thinning hair. If a client does not have a sufficient amount of healthy hair, then surgical hair transplants are not an option.
And while surgical hair replacement can transplant hair in a bald spot, it cannot protect against future additional hair loss around the transplant area. This can be a problem for men or women who may continue to experience hair loss in the months and years following the transplant. Surgical hair replacement provides a temporary solution, but it does not fix the problem permanently. A hair system is the best option even if you are a candidate for surgical hair replacement because you won’t have to worry about future thinning hair or balding areas around the transplant area.
