Remember - the best hair transplants are the ones you don't notice.

There are only two known medical treatments for hair loss. The first is Rogain, which is a topical placed on the scalp. This must be applied daily and principally works in the crown area of the scalp. Rogain can be purchased over-the-counter at your drugstore. The other known medical treatment, which is approved by the FDA, is Propecia. This medication is taken every day and requires a prescription. This has been shown to be effective in helping prevent future hair loss in a large majority of patients. Unfortunately, both of these medications, if effective, must be taken for the rest of your life to continue its effectiveness. If you stop taking either medication, you may lose the hair that you saved.

The only known method for the permanent restoration of natural hair is to use your own permanently-growing hair - the hair now growing on the sides and back of your head is genetically programmed to grow for a lifetime and is the ideal donor. Hair transplantation is a permanent solution that requires no special maintenance. Once your transplanted hair grows out, it can be treated just as you did your original hair - cut it, comb it, wash it, style it any way you like - because it is your own natural growing hair and will continue to grow for your lifetime.

Hair transplantation is the process of obtaining hair bearing grafts from the donor fringe and relocating or transplanting them into the balding areas. Improved harvesting methods and the introduction of smaller grafts have afforded tremendous flexibility in distributing natural hair more evenly over balding areas. These smaller grafts are often referred to as mini-grafts, 
micro-grafts and single hair follicle grafts.
