If you're considering a hair transplant procedure to treat hair loss, you'll hear a lot of myths and misinformation surrounding the subject.

Below, you'll find some of the most common myths we come across in our Hair Transplant Toronto Surgery, with answers that will help you dispel them.

• The hair can fall out: As the grafts are surgically implanted in the scalp, when the hair transplant is correctly performed, they will not fall out.
• It is painful: Whilst there may be some discomfort during a hair transplant procedure, advances in medical technology, and the use of anesthesia greatly reduce the level of discomfort you will undergo during the procedure.
• You might be too late: Research has shown that in a lot of cases, waiting until a pattern of hair loss has developed actually assists in the successful transplantation, as the surgeon has a better idea of which hair is a good candidate for transplantation.
• They're not permanent: The hair that is tranplanted is as permanent as the existing hair that you have in areas that have not been affected by hair loss. Transplanted hair will grow just the same as the rest of your hair.
• It's noticeable: Previously, before the advent of surgical procedures such as FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), some poorly performed hair transplant certainly were noticeable. Now, using these new procedures, hair transplants are undetectable to the naked eye.
• Hair transplants are expensive: When considered against the potential benefits offered by those who suffer self esteem issues related to hair loss, hair transplantation costs can be looked at in a whole new light. Also, as hair transplant surgery is permanent, you may actually save money over buying medications for the rest of your life.
• They require ongoing maintenance: Transplanted hair requires no more maintenance than your normal hair. You can style your new hair, or do anything with it that you would do with your natural hair.
