The hair taken from the donor area will continue to grow and not fall out as a result of pattern baldness because this hair is not sensitive to the male hormone DHT.
It is important to note, that the hairless part of the head is not the reason of your hair loss; it is the genetic makeup of the hair. Healthy follicular units from the back of the head will continue growing as they always have independently of where they have been relocated.
When hair transplantation surgery was first introduced in the 1950's, it was a complicated and costly cosmetic surgery procedure that often resulted in unnatural results.
Through extensive research and state-of-the-art developments in technique and instrumentation, hair transplantation has become a highly sophisticated yet relatively simple procedure. Major advancements in technique nowadays offer results that are remarkably natural in appearance and relatively affordable to most of us.
The average cost of hair transplantation surgery is between three and ten dollars per graft and the number of grafts needed depends on the extent of the balding area. The number of grafts needed varies greatly from case to case but we can say that it is commonly between five hundred and two thousands, therefore the average hair transplant cost ranges from $1500 to $20,000.
The surgeon's reputation for skill and experience is definitely a factor which may greatly influence the price as also is the geographical location.
