LET'S DISPEL THE MYTHS ABOUT HAIR LOSS

Aren’t hair transplants the same as PLUGS?
MHR only utilizes a micro-graft transplantation method, which replicates the natural growing patterns of real hair using varied groupings of 1, 2, and 3 follicular hair units. The hairlines that MHR Surgeons create are totally natural and undetectable because the placement of these varied groupings is performed in an artistic manner which mirrors the irregular matrix of naturally growing hair. Gone are the days of plugs, which give the patient the ‘doll hair effect’ because the transplants were always placed in larger groupings which resulted in a patchy, plugged effect. Micro-grafts are smaller and allow for much tighter placement, achieving the most natural and undetectable look possible.

Do hair care products cause baldness? Will frequent washing and blow-drying cause hair loss?
There are no hair care products that cause baldness. Frequent washing and blow-drying will not cause hair loss. These techniques can exacerbate an existing hair loss problem, however. In extremely rare cases excessive and rigorous blow-drying can dry the hair, leading to excessive shedding, but not baldness.

Does wearing a hat cause hair loss?
Wearing a hat does not cause hair loss.

Does losing hair everyday mean I have male pattern baldness?
No. Hair loss happens naturally everyday. On average 50-150 hairs are lost daily. This daily hair loss does not affect the hair follicle, thus the hair re-grows. Baldness occurs when the shedding exceeds hair growth. If you are unsure about your daily hair loss, contact one of our physicians. They can begin an examination and diagnosis for you.

Will cutting my hair increase hair growth?
Cutting your hair has no effect on hair growth. Since hair is thicker at the base than it is at the tip, your hair may appear thicker at first, but it is not.

Can I increase my number of hair follicles?
We are born with a set number of hair follicles that do not change throughout life. The only way to increase the number of follicles is to undergo a MHR hair transplant procedure. Contact us today and we’ll explain how our advanced surgical methods allow you to cheat genetics.
