Looking to Get a Hair Transplant? So is Everybody Else!

Let’s face it. Years ago, there was a stigma that came along with getting a hair transplant. People often wanted to hide the fact that they were getting one and were often embarrassed to tell their family and friends about it. Most men are going to experience thinning hair and baldness at some point, and by age 50 around 85% of men will have some degree of thinning hair.

Although most men will not admit it, they are traumatized by this change in their hair and they are most likely going to look for a way to disguise their hair loss. Whether it’s with wearing hats, topical treatments or combing their hair differently, many men spend a great deal of time worrying about and trying to hide their hair loss.

Hair transplants have been around for a while, but unfortunately, the earlier treatment methods left men with unnatural looking hair that was incredibly obvious and easy to spot. Even though these methods did give men more hair, it did not afford them the most desirable outcome. Men who want to get a hair transplant are choosing to do so in order to get a head of hair that is realistic and natural looking.  You have probably heard of hair “plugs,” which is associated with the earlier techniques of hair transplants and that outdated method did not offer the most attractive results.

The good news for men is that realistic and natural results are not only possible, but this is an incredibly popular procedure that is getting more and more attention every day. In fact, you may have been seeing articles in the news in the past few days about hair restoration.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive hair restoration procedure that uses precise surgical technology. Hair restoration technology has come so far and is so incredibly advanced now. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia and during it, the hair or follicular units are individually harvested or punched from the back of the scalp or donor area. Dr. Yates utilizes the most advanced ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant system or various manual, hand-held instruments to delicately punch out each individual hair follicle.

This technique does not require any painful cuts or stitches and you will not be left with a linear scar that you will need to conceal for the rest of your life. Additionally, micro-incisions will be used to create sites to place each individual follicular unit, which will then grow into a natural and undetectable pattern over the course of a year. The results are phenomenal, natural and permanent hair that can be worn in any style.

Dr. Yates is a world-renowned expert in Follicular Unit Extraction. He is so passionate and confident that the FUE technique is superior to traditional methods; he only performs this highly skilled technique for hair transplantation. Dr. Yates is one of the most proficient hair restoration physician in not only the Chicagoland area, but across the nation. He has been asked to train other surgeons in this technique from all around the world.

More and more attention is being cast upon hair transplants, because more and more people are seeing how incredible the results are. This procedure has become increasingly popular and has shed the negative stigma that was once associated with it.
