Are the results of a hair transplant permanent? Many people face hair loss and desire a permanent solution. That ultimate solution is possible only with hair transplants. However, there is a common misconception that new, transplanted hair that grows after surgery will fall out, permanently! This is not true! Let us explain.

What is a Hair Transplant?

First, going back to the basics. Hair transplant is the transfer of hair follicles from one part of the body to the other. Hair follicles are removed from the donor area and placed in the hairless area, called the recipient area. So, new hair growth is just old hair in a new place.

Will the hair transplant last forever?

If you’re considering hair restoration treatment, you may be wondering, “How long does it take to get the hair transplant results from the DFI technique?”

In a hair transplant, the grafts are taken from the area of ​​the head (“donor area”) where they are genetically programmed to continue growing. Even after implantation in bald areas of the scalp, the transplanted hair follicles retain their original properties and continue to grow throughout life. This means that with the right surgeon and care, a DFI hair transplant can last a lifetime.

This comes with a small caveat. It is important to understand that everyone is different. No treatment in the world can guarantee that the thickness of the transplanted hair will match the condition, thickness, and life expectancy of the patient’s natural hair that was originally in its place. Age, lifestyle and hair type are other factors.

Do I need more than one hair transplant?

DFI Hair Transplant procedure performed by Evolved Hair Restoration is a permanent solution to hair loss.

Planning and performing a successful hair transplant can be challenging because hair loss is often an ongoing process. This means that while the transplanted hair is more than likely to be permanent, the patient’s natural hair may continue to thin.

Some individuals sometimes have to undergo more than one hair transplant in their lifetime. This can be thickening a previously transplanted area, treating a new area that is already bald, or transplanting hair into an area that was not treated and continues to lose hair.

After hair restoration surgery, many of our patients take Hair Loss Prevention Treatments (such as PRP Hair Treatment, Hair Mesotherapy, Laser Hair Therapy and our recommended suite of products and medications such as Finasteride and Minoxidil) to stabilize ongoing hair loss and minimize the need for further surgery.

Following your procedure, Evolved Clinics will support you with a post-procedure treatment plan, designed to support long-term results.
