If you look around, you\u2019ll see that some plastic surgeons who haven\u2019t previously performed hair transplants are now offering them. However, there are also many hair restoration providers and hair clinics that focus exclusively on hair transplants without any plastic surgery services. This leads to the question: Is a hair transplant plastic surgery, or is it a procedure anyone can perform?<\/p>\n

\"plastic<\/p>\n

What a Hair Transplant Does?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A hair transplant is performed on men or women who experience hair loss or thinning hair, or who have bald spots on their scalp. It uses your existing hair by extracting it from a \u201cdonor site\u201d and implanting it in the bald areas of your scalp, or areas where hair is beginning to recede or has thinned out. Hair transplants are effective ways to reverse hair loss, giving men and women a younger, healthier appearance as well as boosting their confidence.<\/p>\n

Technically, a hair transplant is indeed a plastic surgery procedure. It\u2019s considered minimally-invasive, meaning it is generally performed as an outpatient procedure without general anesthesia, but it counts as surgery nonetheless.<\/p>\n

How Hair Transplants Work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There are several methods of hair transplantation. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) in particular makes any kind of cutting or moving of skin unnecessary. It is therefore becoming more and more popular among patients who do not have time for a lengthy recovery, and who want to be able to sport any hairstyle after their procedure without the need to cover up a linear scar.<\/p>\n

FUE \u2013 at the Laser Way Clinic works this way: A hair restoration specialist uses a special wand that is powered by pneumatic pressure to pull out individual hair grafts from your scalp. Each such graft is composed of 1-4 actual hair follicles. These grafts are extracted from designated donor areas of your scalp. For men, this is typically the back of your head where there is an abundance of hair, even for people experiencing hair loss. This area is not affected by male pattern baldness.<\/p>\n

After enough follicles or rather grafts have been extracted, the fun part begins: your technician now inserts these grafts into the recipient areas that you and your technician have both previously planned out during your consultation. This is done using the same wand, now under reverse pressure. It punctures tiny holes in your scalp, in which the grafts are carefully inserted.<\/p>\n

Hair Transplants Rely on Artistry More than Surgery<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When you choose to have a hair transplant, your number one concern is most likely results. What will your results look like? Will they be worth the expense? Will your new hair look natural, meaning you have a hairline that reflects your original one? Will you look better and younger but without it being obvious that you\u2019ve had anything done? These are the questions typically asked by our Laser Way Clinic patients.<\/p>\n

It is important that you research hair transplant providers to make sure you select a reputable one. But that doesn\u2019t mean an actual plastic surgeon has to perform the procedure him- or herself. While it\u2019s easy for a cosmetic surgeon to include hair transplantation surgery in his catalog, that doesn\u2019t mean that he has much experience in performing it.<\/p>\n

When it comes to selecting a hair restoration technician, it is vastly more important to look for one with extensive experience. Creating a new hairline is a form of art as much as it is a medical procedure. The technical aspects of extracting and implanting hair can be mastered with some practice. But where and at which angle to place each graft for an overall pleasing result is not easy at all. It is something that takes years of experience to master.<\/p>\n

Experienced Hair Restoration Technicians Are Worth It<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Much like you may prefer a hairdresser who has cut a lot of people\u2019s hair already, you should select a hair transplant provider who has performed a lot of hair transplants before yours. And whereas it\u2019s not the end of the world if you get a bad haircut, you don\u2019t want the same to happen with your hair transplant. While it\u2019s possible to have a second hair transplant if you don\u2019t like your first, you may not be able \u2013 or willing \u2013 to pay for it in the near term.<\/p>\n

At the Laser Way Clinic, we do occasionally get patients who want to \u201cfix\u201d a previous hair restoration they\u2019re not happy with. Invariably they tell us they wish they\u2019d come to \u201cthe right place\u201d first. Our doctors have several years of experience in this field, serving patients throughout and beyond Albania. We pride ourselves in excellent work and with making your experience as comfortable as possible.<\/p>\n
