Effective Permanent Hair Replacement

Hair transplantation is now a time-proven medical procedure of hair replacement for hereditary baldness (androgenetic slopecia). The hair transplantation procedure (autogenous hair transfer) uses the patient's own hair to replace balding areas on the scalp. Over the years, improvements and supplemental steps to the procedure have increased the effectiveness and yield of transplants. Excellent results are now achieved with most patients. Transplantation procedures include modified split incisional grafts, square grafts, alopecia scalp reductions, mini grafts, strip donor method, no bandages, and suture retention of receptor grafts.

There are a number of advantages of hair transplantation over other forms of hair replacement. Hair transplantation is permanent, with no fear that the transplanted hair grafts will move around or change position, no matter what the activity. And since the hair transplanted is the person's own, there is no problem with matching color or texture. There is also no fear of tissue rejection or foreign body reaction. Norris Hair Transplant Clinic makes sure that hair transplantation is the right procedure for each patient before any treatment begins.

"Our aim is to first make sure that baldness or hair loss is not from a treatable cause, such a stress, inflammation, hormonal imbalance, trauma from prolonged traction or tension on hair, or secondary to a reversible process or drug," said Dr. Edwin Norris, head of the clinic. "Secondly, we want to bring attention to misconceptions about hair and its care and to protect patients from fraudulent claims regarding hair growth restoration creams, special vitamin and protein nutrients, hormone treatments, and dangerous electrical manipulations of hair and scalp. Beware of those who masquerade as Physicians' Assistants or 'doctors of cosmetology' and make claims regarding hair care and restoration. Also, beware of facilities who claim one day surgical correction baldness. These claims are not realistic, nor do they fall into the realm of scientific medicine."

Hair transplantation, Dr. Norris adds, is the only proven method for permanent restoration of hair.
