For men and women suffering from hair loss, hair transplantation can be a life-changing procedure. Hair transplant surgery allows for a beautiful, natural look. In addition to scalp treatments, hair transplants can be used to restore eyelashes, eyebrows, breads, and other body hair.
Many people worry about the cost of a hair transplant. Hair transplant cost can vary depending on the type of service and area of coverage chosen, as well as the causes of the patient’s hair loss. Although Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is costly, a FUE hair transplant generally means less post-surgery pain, no scarring, and a more natural appearance, even for buzzed haircuts.
Hair transplant reviews differ, but most patients are happy with the results. The effect of the procedure is not only aesthetic but also emotional, granting many patients increased confidence and self-assurance.

The variations are characteristic of the source. The source may include finer hair, straighter hair, curlier hair, coarser hair, shorter hairs, and potentially longer hairs. The wide variety alone make them far different than scalp hair.
