The best candidates for hair restoration.

Hair loss typically results from three different factors: aging, hormone changes and family history. If you have hair that grows on the sides, neck or the back of your head - this can be used as donor hair. Typically, when people have hair in these places, they are the best candidates for hair transplants and hair restorations. For men, you must have donor sites. So, having excess hair growth in these areas make you a good candidate for this type of procedure. Women who have thinning hair can also have these procedures done by using follicles from other areas on the body. During your consultation with Dr. Marcinkus, he’ll be able to tell you whether or not you’re a good candidate for hair restoration.

How is the hair transplant and restoration done?

When the patient has their consultation, the doctor will outline areas that are going to receive the transplants. Usually, local anesthetic is injected into the areas of interest to make the patient feel more comfortable and minimize any possible pain. When this has been done, the procedure will consist of moving healthy hair from the back and sides of the head to the areas that are thinning. This can be time consuming, because the doctor must implant each permanent hair follicle one at a time, also insuring that its going to grow in the correct pattern to give it that more natural look. This is your real hair, it’s just being moved from one location (a donor area) to another. When undergoing a hair transplant or hair restoration procedure, there is no downtime. Patients usually return to work the next day after the procedures have been done. After a few months of the transplants being done, they can be colored or styled in any way you wish, since this is your real hair. Both strip and neograft harvesting techniques are offered in our clinics.

Is hair transplants safe?

Yes. When you get a hair transplant or hair restoration done by Dr. Marcinkus, the procedure is outpatient. The doctor and staff have done thousands of procedures without any incident. Since this hair is your real hair (just being moved from one donor location to another), you can style it, color it and do whatever you’d like since this is your natural hair.
