Before we talk about hair transplant, let’s talk about hair loss first. So, what is the cause of hair loss? Some researchers would say that pattern baldness is responsible for the majority of hair loss. Hair loss can be an unwanted loss, caused by simple aging, hormone changes, or family history – or a combination of these factors. For some hair loss problems, people opt to try natural remedies to prevent hair loss and for those who have extreme hair loss, they opt to try hair transplant.

So, what is hair transplant? A hair transplant is a procedure in which a dermatological surgeon moves hair to a bald area of the head. The surgeon usually moves hair from the back or side of the head to the front or top of the head. Hair transplants typically occur in a medical office under local anesthesia.

There are two types of transplant procedures: slit grafts and micrografts. Slit grafts contain 4 to 10 hairs per graft. Micrografts contain one or two hairs per graft, depending on the amount of coverage needed.

Although hair transplants can make a huge difference for many people experiencing hair loss, the procedure isn't for everyone. And it’s not just for men; it’s also available for women. That’s why before you go under the knife, it’s better to seek the help of an expert plastic surgeon in Aventura like Dr. Ernest DiGeronimo.

The grafting of hair into thinning or bald areas can be done by various methods. Single hair follicles surgically extracted from a shaved area of the back of the head, or tiny sections from a surgically-removed flap of hair from the back of the head, are two established methods. The method used, however, depends on several factors, such as hair color, quality and texture of the hair and the size of the area to be transplanted.
