Regrowth And Renewal With Hair Transplantation

- Monday.October 06. 2014

When searching for a hair loss solution it’s advisable to gain a clear understanding of commonly promoted terms such as hair replacement and hair restoration.

Martinick Hair Restoration medical director Dr Jennifer Martinick says many people mistakenly believe the two terms mean the same thing.

Dr Martinick, the immediate past president of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, says consumers must distinguish between non-medical hair replacement and surgical hair restoration.

Dr Martinick says non-surgical hair replacement, which involves attaching a hair piece, wig or toupee, offers the instant enhancement of a fuller looking head of hair.

Unlike the clinically proven permanent solution of surgical hair restoration where the donor hair grows naturally, non-surgical hair replacement demands ongoing visits to the salon for upkeep and reattachment of the hair piece, as well as being more expensive in the long run.

Dr Martinick, the immediate past president of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, says the only way to permanently and naturally regrow hair is through single follicular unit transplantation.

Dr Martinick advises of the need to thoroughly research a clinic and the hair restoration physician before committing to a transplant.

This research should involve finding out about the surgical techniques a physician uses as well as the philosophy and practices of the clinic and seeing the results achieved for previous patients.

“Find out if the doctor is actively involved in your surgery”, Dr Martinick says.

“At some clinics the physician is only present at the beginning and end of the surgery. Martinick Hair Restoration physicians actively take part in the whole procedure, ensuring an artistically superior outcome.”

While modern hair transplantation is a viable and popular solution for men and women from all walks of life, it is also favoured among many celebrities choosing to permanently treat their hair loss.

England cricketing team batting coach Graham Thorpe MBE says he explored a range of options to treat his thinning crown before booking a hair transplant procedure with Martinick Hair Restoration.

 

Mr Thorpe says the prospect of regrowing his own hair, through permanent hair restoration, offers far more appeal than having to make ongoing visits to a hair replacement clinic for upkeep and reattachment of a hair piece.
