Hair Transplants: Prioritize Well-being Over Quick Fixes
Hair loss affects many men, with 1 in 13 opting for a hair transplant at some point. However, clinics should prioritise patient well-being over quick procedures, discussing long-term effects and recommending initial non-surgical treatments like finasteride or minoxidil.
Hair transplants, costing between £3,000 and £7,000 in the UK, should be considered a last resort. Two main techniques exist: FUT, involving strip removal and division into follicular units, and FUE, using a small punch to remove individual follicles. Rushing into surgery without thorough consideration can lead to poor results, highlighting the importance of informed decisions and ethical practitioners.
While hair transplants can address hair loss, they should not be the first option. Clinics must prioritise patient well-being, discuss long-term effects, and recommend initial non-surgical treatments. Informed decisions and ethical practitioners are crucial for successful outcomes.
