Getting older puts us all face to face with a moral quandary. On the one hand, we want all the benefits that come with age: more money, more wisdom, a career, and untold freedoms that our younger selves always dreamed of. On the other hand, our outward facing body doesn’t match our vision of how we should look, and the question becomes as to when is the right time to take action to turn back the hands of time so we can approach each day with youthful confidence. When it comes to hair restoration, the time is always now, but it’s important to know about your options as you attempt to take control of your hair loss problem.
The Risks of Surgical Intervention
When most men think about hair restoration in Edmonton, you naturally think about surgical procedures. These are invasive techniques that involve taking patches or strips of functioning hair follicles and transplanting them into balding areas of your scalp. The idea is that the existing follicles then take root in their new home, giving you your natural hair after the hair transplant has had time to grow back in. There’s no guarantee that this will work 100%, however, and often the only way to find out is to go through the whole procedure and hope for the best. Surgical hair transplant procedures can also come with some complications:
- Patchy growth – each cell in the human body is different, and it stands to reason that just because one hair follicle survives the transplant process, there’s no guarantee that its next door neighbour will do the same. On a broader scale, this can lead to patchy growth after a hair transplant surgery, with your only option being more risky surgery to take care of the problem.
- Scarring and infection – the removal of healthy hair follicles can leave you with unsightly scarring, and as with any topical surgical procedure, you’re going to be at risk of infection both in the removal and the transplant sites. Both of these issues can be remedied but can leave permanent damage to your scalp and your self esteem.
- Scalp numbness – finally, it can be hard to remove part of your scalp and move it somewhere else without messing around with the underlying nervous system. A common side effect of hair transplant surgery is numbness on the scalp which can be an unsettling reminder of the procedure even if you’re lucky enough to get some hair restoration relief from it.
The Ultragraft – Professional Results without Surgery
It’s clear that hair restoration surgery comes with some drawbacks and isn’t without a reasonable amount of risk. This is why more and more men are looking at Edmonton Hair Restoration’s new Ultragraft technology to help with their hair rejuvenation. The Ultragraft is the cutting edge technology in hair loss treatments because the whole procedure can be completed in a couple of hours, there’s no invasive surgery and you’re guaranteed to walk out of our Edmonton hair loss clinic with a full head of natural hair.
How The Ultragraft Works
The Ultragraft is a brand new way of treating hair loss. We use a high tech polymer base which will blend naturally to your scalp, and this base acts as a natural holding ground for real human hair. The new hair is microknotted together to increase the longevity of your new hair (and to withstand the inevitable pulling and tugging from your amazed friends and family!), and the polymer base is perforated to allow your scalp to breathe naturally. Each of our Ultragraft technicians will be able to add this new hair to your scalp in a couple of hours with no side effects or scarring.
Steps To Ultragraft Success
Your first step to a new head of hair is to call our Edmonton hair transplant experts to set up a free consultation. During this meeting, we’ll talk about your hair rejuvenation goals, as well as taking a close look at your existing hair to make sure that we get the best match in terms of color and texture. Once we have all the information we need, our hair restoration clinic will create your personalized Ultragraft and then call you in for the transplant procedure. Our patients report that this feels more like a spa than a medical procedure, and you’ll come out a couple of hours later with a full head of hair that is indistinguishable from your original hair style.
Call us today to make your outer self match the confidence and growth of your inner world.
