New Hair Transplant or Replacement? Better Blending on the Way
Remember long long ago when old balding men were the butt of
jokes when it came to their ill fitting toupees? Today, hairpieces that are
placed on top of the head aren't so common for men. and not just because they
were funny albeit ugly to look at it - but because new techniques like hair
transplants have been created that make it easy to implant new hair in the
problem areas - the game has been taken to a whole new level.
This same ‘poking fun’ can be related to women who wear hair
extensions and don't properly hide the tracks or clips and they are visible to
the eye.
But, a New Jersey company has come up with a new concept for
creating hair fullness that adds without disturbing the natural hair around it.
The new technique adds hair in between existing hair to
blend it naturally and uses a threat called Translucent Blending-Strands to
feed one human hair at a time in-between the person’s existing hairs.
This is something that can be beneficial for those getting a
transplant or considering one because they can use it together with the surgery
to get even fuller, more natural looking results.
Even in cases where a person does not have enough donor hair
to use during the transplant they can now just use InvisaBlend to help ensure
they can still have the outcome they desire.
One user testimonial touted the natural feeling of the hair
procedure saying, “InvisaBlend gave my hair more volume but left my own hair
alone. I can run my fingers right down to my scalp and feel nothing but my hair
and my scalp. It’s totally natural no matter what I do!”

Frequently asked questions about hair transplant procedures
How much does a hair transplant cost?
Hair transplants can vary in price based off of the area in the world that you are interested in getting a hair transplant as well as the size of the area where you may need a hair transplant. Experienced doctors in the United States will often charge some of the highest prices for a hair transplant worldwide and this is why so many travelers make the move to other parts the world like Turkey, India, Thailand, Mexico...etc for their hair transplants.
Will a hair transplant hurt?
Although hair transplants may look like a particularly
unpleasant or painful experience is actually very little discomfort involved
with the surgery itself. Hair transplants are always done under an anesthetic so there's absolutely zero pain during the treatment itself. Many people actually relate the process as being very similar to going to the dentist for filling or root canal. Mild pain can persist over the course of postop treatment but he generally just resumes for a few days.
Who can deliver the best surgery?
It's usually best to consider working with surgeons who have and IAHRS certification or international alliance of hair restoration surgeons recognition. IAHRS can often deliver recommendations for the best surgeons in each particular area.
Is this scarring noticeable?
Any type of hair transplant will require the use of incisions throughout the scalp. There can also sometimes be a small scar from the donor area towards the back of the scalp. Asking to look at photos of the surgeon's previous work will help you to see roughly how bad the scarring could be. In most cases an experienced professional can limit the look of scarring and noticeable marks from the surgery.
How long does it take for the hair to grow?
In most cases hair growth will start within eight months and you can start to see a full effect from the hair transplant after a full year. The initial signs of growth can usually start between 3 to 4 months after the surgery.
Are the results permanent?
The hair follicles that are transplanted are generally the ones which are genetically resistant against the symptoms of baldness. As long as you receive hair loss treatment later in your life after the symptoms of balding have started to subside, you can have a better chance at permanent results.
While everyone know you've had surgery?
If you want to limit the chance that people may find out about your surgery it's important to give at least three weeks of healing as the surgical area will be affected and red just after surgery. After around a month of healing it can look far less noticeable. You could consider wearing a hat while time passes or opting for some extra time off if possible.
How long should I rest after surgery?
It's recommended to rest for at least a few days after surgery so that your body can recover. Trenton to over exert yourself and limit sexual activity, running in the gym for around 10 days after surgery.
Is it possible to lose more hair as a result of surgery?
There is always a chance of shock loss which happens when the hair is weak and miniaturizing after the surgery. As long as the surgeon is choosing the correct hair follicles and performing the surgery well it's possible to minimize the chance of this happening however.
Will I need another hair transplant?
The need for another transplant really depends on the individual. With a solid foundation surgery and working to potentially bolster results with drug therapy, you can improve the stability of the hair that was transplanted as well as prevent further loss. Getting a hair transplant early
on in your 20s or early on in life could lead to needing long-term transplants as hair loss can be progressive.
