Will you believe it, if we tell you that the first hair transplant surgery was performed in 1939, by a Japanese dermatologist. 

When it comes to a hair transplant, there are many factors that determine the success of the procedure. 

Have you ever realized that most people are now more concerned about their outer beauty, such as skin and hair?

Hair transplant surgery is a procedure designed to combat baldness in both men and women. It involves moving hair from areas that have sufficient hair growth (referred to as donor sites) to an area that is bald. This surgery is not only confined to the head, but it can also be done to restore women’s eyelashes and eyebrows.

Hair loss treatment is still among the most popular plastic surgeries. The numbers of patients are soaring, and doctors come up with new solutions to cater to their personal needs. The global trend of health tourism only supports this trend.

Most people believe that the success of any surgery, whether medical or cosmetic, is solely determined by where you have it and who performs it. Yes, the location (as in the clinic) and the expertise of your surgeon can also determine the success of the surgery, but the bottom line hinges on what the patient does after the surgery.

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure in which a dermatological surgeon moves hair follicles, from an area where there is sufficient hair growth to a bald area of the head. It is a surgery designed to address hair loss that is usually caused by genetic features, aging, and injury.

Deliberating on an institution to undertake a Hair Transplant is hard (even harder for foreigners) when one is already considering having one. It seems like every medical institution you come across claims to offer better services than the last one you viewed.

While hair transplants are usually associated with male balding and alopecia and nearly 90% of male patients experience quick and natural growth after the procedure, women make up a third of all hair transplant patients, and there has been a high increase in the need for women’s hair loss transplants.
