At Oak Brook Hair Transplant, we understand that undergoing a hair restoration procedure is a significant decision. To help you make an informed choice, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about our services, procedures, and what to expect before, during, and after your treatment.
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves moving hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, to a balding or thinning area. This can restore hair growth in areas affected by hair loss.
Hair transplant results are generally permanent. The transplanted hair follicles continue to grow naturally for a lifetime.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during a hair transplant, as local anesthesia is used to numb the donor and recipient areas. Any post-procedure discomfort can usually be managed with prescribed medications.
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?
PRP therapy uses a concentrated sample of your own blood's platelets, which are rich in growth factors. When injected into the scalp, these growth factors can stimulate hair follicles and promote new hair growth.
The number of PRP therapy sessions varies depending on the individual’s hair loss condition. Typically, patients may require multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results.
To prepare for a hair transplant, avoid alcohol and smoking, discontinue blood thinners and certain supplements, and ensure your scalp is clean. Follow the detailed pre-procedure guidelines provided by your doctor.
During recovery, follow post-procedure care instructions, avoid strenuous activities, protect your scalp from the sun, and avoid swimming for at least two weeks. Mild swelling and discomfort are common and can be managed with prescribed medications.
Most patients can return to work within a few days after the procedure, depending on the nature of their job and their personal comfort levels.
