Non-Surgical Hair Restoration FAQ

Q: Can I wear any hairstyle that I want?

A: Yes, you can also change your hairstyle as often as you like.

Q: How is non-surgical hair replacement done?

A. Non-surgical hair replacement is a process where hair is added directly to the scalp. This hair is matched exactly to the color, texture, density, and curl to your own growing hair and it is completely undetectable to sight and touch. This technique involves creating an 8th layer of skin and fusing it directly to the scalp. This layer contains all the hair added to the scalp, and this layer is so thin that it is undetectable to the touch. Once this process is completed; the hair is cut, styled, and can be treated just as your own growing hair.

Q: How long does this procedure take?

A: After a short visit for some preliminary work it only takes 2 hours to add density or completely recreate a new head of hair.

Q: Is there any maintenance involved with non-surgical hair replacement?

A: As with any hair style there is always some degree of maintenance. Whether you are currently going to a solon to have your hair cut, or shaving your head at home there is some form of maintenance involved. With our non-surgical hair replacement technique the only maintenance involved entails you coming to our solon to have your hair cut and serviced. How often you come in for a solon visit will depend on your hairstyle and rate of growth, but our average client comes in approximately every four to six weeks.

Q: Now that this procedure has become more affordable and available, why aren't more people taking advantage of this procedure?

A: The primary reason that so many individuals don't take action to do something about their hair loss is the fear that doing something may be worse than just being bald. There are an estimated 40 million men, and 20 million women with hair loss in the United States alone. There has been some extensive research on determining why so many individuals affected by hair loss do not take any action to correct their hair loss even after they are aware of one or several hair replacement options. There seems to be two primary reasons why people are afraid to do something, one is the fear of overnight change in appearance, and two the fear of looking phony. Even though cost is usually a factor in this case it doesn't seem to be the primary concern. Unfortunately these preconceived ideas prevent most people from investigating non-surgical hair replacement options. We have found that with almost every client during his or her first consultation they are not aware that they can have their hair gradually replaced just as they lost it, and they just can't believe how natural the hair looks in person. We encourage you to come in and meet with one of our consultants who has had this procedure done and discover that the look and feel that you always wanted is actually attainable.

Q: Are there any limitations to activities or lifestyle?

A: No, you shampoo and care for your hair just as if it would your own growing hair. There is no limit to lifestyle or activity; you can swim, water ski, rock climb, golf, and maintain a normal healthy lifestyle.

Q: Can you detect a transplanted hair under very close examination?

A: No, with the technology used today you cannot detect the difference between a hair that has been transplanted next to an original hair even under fifty times magnification. The type of procedure used today is called Follicular Unit Grafting, and this is the latest technique used in hair transplantation. This technique achieves amazing results and it is the preferred technique over multi grafting or micro and mini grafting.

Q: Does transplanted hair ever fall out?

A: No, transplanted hair will never recede or fall out. Even men who are extremely bald still have hair in the donor area where the hair is harvested; this hair is permanent and will last a lifetime. All men with male pattern hair loss have a certain number of hair follicles that are genetically programmed at birth to either grow or fall out at some point in life. When hair is transplanted from the donor area to the front or top of the scalp, there is nothing wrong with this area of the scalp.
