WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF HAIR TRANSPLANTS?

The pros include;

Sure outcome

After hair transplant, you are guaranteed of improved hair growth. You may never require any other hair treatment options because growth will continue in its whole lifecycle.

Boosted self-esteem

Most individuals lose confidence due to increased hair loss. However, after transplant, one may become more confident with boosted self-esteem as it offers a more youthful look and reduced aging signs.

Safe and simple procedure

Hair transplantation is achieved through a safe procedure with the help of local anesthesia.  It also lacks complications, especially when one does not have a history of grafts treatments.

Cons

Expensive

Hair transplant involves high expenses. I usually advise my clients to try other cheaper options like hair loss shampoos before making conclusions.

Scarring

The procedure is known to leave small scars, especially in places where follicles were inserted. While they may be unnoticed, shaving can make them more visible.
