Am I a Good Candidate for Hair Transplant Surgery?

Both women and men make good candidates for the various types of hair transplants. You can safely get a hair restoration as long as you meet two basic criteria:

• You’re healthy enough, and you have the ability to grow hair on the areas of your scalp that are thinning.
• You have sufficient amounts of healthy hair that can be transplanted to thinning areas.

After a few brief tests, sometimes including a blood test, your experienced hair restoration surgeon can usually tell if you’re a good candidate for hair transplants. If in doubt, your doctor may perform a scalp biopsy to find out if you have other underlying conditions affecting your hair growth.

What Exactly Is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?

Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a cosmetic technique that involves injecting small colored pigments into the scalp with a fine needle, much like tattooing. This method mimics the look of natural hair follicles, aiding both men and women in addressing hair loss and achieving a shaved head appearance.

When combined with Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), SMP can greatly improve hair density. This synergistic approach is highly effective for many, resulting in a fuller, more natural-looking head of hair. The procedures complement each other well, with SMP covering scars, refining the hairline, and allowing for personalized styling, leading to a more complete and satisfying result.
