New Jersey hair transplant is the only permanent solution to hair loss.
While there are many good and effective short-term medication options
it is still hair transplant surgery that remains the gold standard in
dealing with hair loss. But what exactly does hair transplant surgery
entail? What makes a hair transplant permanent in the first place? Why
should someone choose hair transplant surgery? And don’t all hair
transplants look like…well….hair transplants? Not those done by New Jersey hair transplant surgeon Dr. Gregory Pistone!

Hair transplants have come a long way from the procedures of the
70’s and 80’s. Back then the field of hair transplants was in its
infancy and not only did the procedures look artificial but they
inevitably led to a follow-up surgical operation…..namely hair transplant repair. The problem was with the size of the donor hair section used. Hair transplant doctors
use sections of the scalp that are abundant and healthy, usually the
back and sides of the scalp, and transplant these sections to an area
of the scalp in need of rejuvenation like the top of the scalp and the
temples.

Unfortunately the size of the donor section was unduly large, using
as many as 20-30 hair follicles at a time, making it very difficult for
hair transplant doctors to manipulate into a natural-looking scalp.
There was also the concern of waste. Hair transplant surgery
necessitates the use of healthy donor tissue from the back of the
scalp, but this is not an unlimited resource, often wasted by the crude
technology of the early hair transplants.

Today’s hair transplant surgery doesn’t in any way resemble the old hair transplants. Modern techniques like Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation
use a much smaller section of donor hair, usually about 1-4 hair
follicles, that allow the hair transplant doctor to easily manipulate
the follicle and avoid problems like hairs growing in the wrong
direction and the pluggy “doll’s head” look. In addition, side effects like headaches after the hair transplant and scalp redness, have become quite rare. Best of all, unlike hair loss medications,
the results of a hair transplant are permanent and usually require no
more than a few follow-up visitations to reach completion.

As far as how they look, most people have stories about bad hair transplants they’ve seen. But the truth is those same people probably haven’t noticed the good hair transplants, because frankly, they’re good. As with any procedure, picking a good hair transplant doctor
is an important factor in determining hair transplant success. And
nothing looks better, or is less noticeable, than a successful hair
transplant.
