Default Hair Restoration

I am a 45 year old woman with thinning hair and was considering getting a hair restoration treatment done. Can anyone explain how the procedure is done and whether it is painful?

Hair is taken from the donor region (the back) and placed in the front /thinning/bald areas.

There is relatively little pain involved however make sure you do your research and make sure HT surgery is for you

Hi Johnhelen69,

from what I hear hair transplantation is not very painful, you would feel more discomfort than anything. I am not a doctor, and neither am I proponent of ht, but the truth is that, few women have success with it because of the type of hair loss they experience. make sure you do your research and find a very qualified and experienced dr that is used to giving great results.

What other treatments have you tried?
hth,
Patricia

Wow - this is a huge question. I strongly suggest you visit a few
doctors' websites and learn a lot more about this procedure. And no -
performed with care, the actual transplant is virtually painless,
although especially the first night there can be some pain in the donor
area.
