Overview: 

Hair transplant is getting a hype nowadays as so many people opt for Hair transplant in Islamabad due to its permanent results and positive reviews, but there are some myths regarding hair transplant which are being judged by many people. 

In this blog, you are going to learn about 10 common hair transplant myths busted. 

Understanding Hair Transplant: 

Before getting on to the conclusion, understanding hair transplant is very important. Hair transplant is basically picking hair from your own body areas (back of the head, beard) and putting them back on the areas where there is excess hair loss (top of the head , hairline). 

So there is no way it’s dangerous or something illegal. 

Hair transplant has benefits and disadvantages as well but if the side effects are manageable then there’s no need to be worried about anything. 

Myths About Hair Transplant: 

Let’s take a look at the most common hair transplant myths busted! 

Myth No. 1:

‘’Hair Transplant is painful’’ 

Hair transplant is always done by a  professional and under anesthesia to manage pain and discomfort. So there is no way it is painful. The procedure is done under local anesthesia (usually Lidocaine or Bupivacaine) to make sure you don’t feel even a pinch during the procedure 

Myths No.2:

‘’Hair transplant is only for men’’

Women never get to experience hair loss? Or are they born bald? Women can have hair transplanted and even the results are extremely positive from women after getting the procedure. Their own hair follicles are used to strengthen the regrowth and new hair is grown with thickness and good health. 

Myth No. 3:

‘’Hair transplant gives instant results’’ 

That is why research is important. Hair transplant is a surgical procedure and the surgical procedures never give instant or immediate results. Hair transplant needs 2-3 months for the recovery and 6 – 12 months to fully show the results. 

Myth No. 4:

‘’Hair transplants don’t look natural’’

Hair transplantation is done using your own hair and deeply attached the follicles into your scalp using your own hair, so there is no chance to say they look unnatural. The hair and hair root is your own. The donor area for the hair transplant is taken from the hairy part of your body or scalp. Usually at the back of the head, beard, chest area and the grown hair looks natural and gives the same appearance as your own hair. 

Myth No. 5:

‘’Hair transplant affects your brain’’ 

We are living in the 21st century and still believe in people’s words? Search it up and see that there is no comparison between hair transplant and brain. Hair transplant only requires your hair follicle which is removed from the donor area using FUE punch and punched back on the bald area of the head. There is no such device so deep which affects the brain or its normal activity.

Myth No. 6:

‘The hair transplant results are temporary’’

Let us clear your concern that transplanted hair is the permanent solution for hair loss because your own hair follicles are attached to your bald areas of the scalp and regrowth occurs naturally so we cannot say that the results are temporary but maintenance is necessary for the results to remain the same. 

Myth No. 7:

‘’Hair transplant is a quick procedure’’

Hair transplant is a surgical procedure which is done under planning. From consultation to assessing the scalp and calculating the grafts, units and then proceeding the procedure. This all takes more than 2 hours.The total duration of the procedure is usually 2 -3 hours or it can vary from person to person. 

Myth No. 8:

‘’Hair transplant is expensive’’

Hair transplantation is not only for rich people. We understand transparent pricing and offer a variety of packages according to the grafts. The price we offer at our clinic ranges from Rs.120,000 – 350,000 but they can be increased or decreased due to some factors like, no of grafts, hair density, baldness etc. 

Myth No. 9:

‘’Hair transplant makes you bald’’ 

It’s the permanent solution for baldness not the procedure which causes baldness. Hair transplant is done to cover the bald areas of the scalp using your own hair by deeply inserting hair follicles into the skin and new hair growth starts after a few months.

Myth No. 10:

‘’Hair transplant cause cancer’’

Cancer is a disease caused by the excessive growth of cells in one place not the excessive growth of hair. Hair transplantation is a FDA-approved procedure done by professionals under anesthesia with safety and precaution. There is no way it causes cancer because it also improves your scalp blood circulation and helps with hair growth, not abnormal cell growth.
