1. Only Men Can Have Hair Transplants
This myth has led many women to simply accept hair loss because they don’t believe any viable solution exists. The reality is that the Hair transplant procedure can treat both male and female pattern baldness. There are differences, however, as women tend to lose their hair in a different pattern than men and tend to have a sparser donor area.
2. You Can Expect Immediate Results
Similar to normal hair growth, hair transplants do not grow overnight. After the procedure, some hair may fall out during what we call the “sleeping phase” or “shock phase.” However, the well-anchored roots will gradually begin to grow hair, which should blend in perfectly and provide natural-looking results. In general, individuals can expect to see cosmetically significant results in as early as five months. The new hair will continue to thicken up to about a year and a half after which it should stabilize.
3. Hair Transplants Look Obvious
At MAX hair clinic, the clinic practice takes pride in the immense care, the doctors bring to each hair transplant procedure. We use truly advanced, and consistently proven techniques to produce successful outcomes. Once your new hair grows in, it should blend seamlessly with your existing hair.
4. You Can’t Wash Your Hair after treatment
Shampooing and washing your scalp will not affect the growth of your new hair, and it can be done the day after your procedure. Contrary to this popular myth, cleaning the treated area as directed by the doctor is not harmful.
5. You Should Expect to take Medications to Assist Hair Growth
Transplanted hairs are permanent, and you won’t have to do anything special after the procedure to assist hair growth. That means no special medication, shampoos or ointments are needed. If, however, you have used such medications in the past with success you will likely be encouraged to keep doing so for the sake of the surrounding non-transplanted hairs. But again, hair transplants do not need anything to help them initially grow or continue to grow.
6. A DHI Hair Transplant Is the Most Effective Method
The DHI or pen implanters were briefly practiced during the early 2,000s and even till now but the implanters also have limitations and still depth direction and density is compromised and now the Sapphire micro FUE method has replaced the DHI method globally in most of the places.
7. Hair Transplantation in India is costly
A few variables affect the cost of a hair transplant, such as the number of grafts needed, at MAX hair clinic the prices are typically lower than those found in the other clinics or cities based on the international standard Sapphire micro FUE.
8. Hair transplant can cause cancer and lead to eye damage or can damage some parts of the brain is false.
A hair transplant is done on the dermis layer of the skin where actually the hair follicles are situated and way before the brain or the cranial bone starts, hence the myth can be erased.
9. Hair transplant procedure is very painful.
The procedure is not painful as it's done under local anesthesia and one cannot feel it during the process at all.
10. Hair transplant has got many side effects.
This question also has certain myths as Hair transplant is performed in the OPD and a very safe practice performed by surgically equipped Dermatologists, Maxillofacial surgeons & Plastic surgeons
