A hair transplant is a surgical process of hair restoration. It involves taking hair follicles from a donor area and implanting it in the bald area to achieve a natural look. 

As the problem of hair loss is common among men and women these days, the hair transplant procedure has become quite popular. But just like anything else, the lack of knowledge leads to many myths blowing in the wind.

In today's blog, Dr. Rajdeep Mysore, a renowned dermatologist and hair specialist in Bangalore at Charma Clinic, will address these myths and shed some light on the facts about hair transplantation surgery.

Myth 1: Hair transplantation is a painful treatment.

Fact: The truth is that when the effects of the general anesthetic wear off, there will be some soreness in the location where the transplant was performed. However, with the medicines prescribed by the doctor, the discomfort/pain is usually manageable. 

Myth 2: Hair transplant delivers instant effect.

Fact: A hair transplant cannot provide results immediately. The complete process may take 10-12 months. After three weeks, the transplanted hair frequently begins to fall out, but the hair root remains intact and permanent. These roots typically take 4-5 months to mature and 9-12 months for maximum growth. 

Myth 3: Hair transplantation is an expensive procedure.

Fact: Yes, hair transplantation can be quite expensive (for a single procedure), but it has proved to be cost-effective in the long run. The most recent cosmetic sector breakthrough has reduced the equipment's cost, making it affordable to everyone. Remember that a hair transplant is a one-time investment that produces excellent long-term results when performed by a qualified doctor.

Myth 4: Hair transplants do not give a natural look.

Fact: Hair transplants performed under the direction of an experienced surgeon produce 100% natural results. An experienced and qualified surgeon carefully analyzes the follicle position and hair angle. Depending on this, the grafting is done to appear completely natural. After the surgery, one can chop, wash, and style your hair normally.

Myth 5: Hair transplant results in noticeable scars

Fact: Linear scars were earlier evident after surgery. There is simply a little scar that is easily hidden by the surrounding hair. However, technological advances in medicine have reduced the size of post-surgical scarring.

Myth 6: Hair transplant can cause brain disease 

Fact: This is not correct. Experts and evidence claim that hair transplant is a fairly non-risky procedure. Yes, it may cause soreness, pain, and irritation around the scalp, but these are just temporary side effects. 

Thus, it is safe to say that hair transplant is a highly effective hair restoration treatment that produces the greatest outcomes. The important thing is always to consult a good hair transplant surgeon for a hair transplant to yield the best and desired outcomes.
