What Causes Hair Loss?
DHT Causes Male & Female Pattern Baldness.
Are you are losing hair on the top of your head or in the crown area? It’s likely that you have inherited pattern baldness from somebody in your family.
Pattern baldness (even in females) is caused by a hormone called DHT that causes the hair on the top of your head to shrink and become unhealthy. Over time, some of it or all of it will eventually fall out. This type of hair loss can start at a very young age (as early as 16) or begin later in life. Depending on the degree of hair loss, you may only lose a small portion of your hair or you could lose all of it.
How Does a Hair Transplant Work?
Hair is Moved from the “Safe Zone” to Balding Area(s).
The science behind a hair transplant is quite simple. The hair in the back of the head, which is referred to as the “safe zone”, is resistant to DHT. Hair from the safe zone is permanent and it will not fall out, even if it’s moved! During a hair transplant, hair is harvested from the safe zone and transplanted to balding areas where it will grow permanently.
Pictured left is an old style “pluggy” hair transplant. The right picture shows the same patient after a hair transplant correction done here at PAI Medical Group.
Will it Look Pluggy?
Today’s Hair Transplant Looks Completely Natural
Decades ago, hair transplants looked “pluggy” (see picture on left). Hair transplants looked unnatural because grafts contained too many hairs (10-20 hairs) and the art of hair transplantation was still being developed. Today’s hair transplant is no longer pluggy (see picture on right) because doctors use grafts containing less hairs.
Additionally, with two new techniques known as Dense Packing and Ultra Dense Packing we can create more fullness along the hairline than ever before. With these new developments we can even correct an old, unsightly hair transplant.

Questions?
Will it grow?
Yes! Hair is moved from the back of your own head to balding areas. It continues to grow and needs to be cut and styled just as it did before the procedure.
Can you use another person's hair for your transplant?
No, your body will reject another person’s hair.
What does it look like after the procedure?
You will experience some redness after the procedure. Small scabs will form around the transplanted hairs. They will remain for about 5 days until they start to fall off. By the 10th day the scabs will be completely gone.
Does it hurt?
Doctors use a mild anesthesia to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Afterwards, you will be prescribed a pain killer for discomfort in the harvesting area, however, many patients simply use Tylenol instead.
Is it permanent
Yes, the hair is harvested from the “safe zone”. Transplanted hairs will remain permanent because they the that same genetic code they had before the move.
Will it look natural?
We can only speak for the doctors here at PAI / We Grow Hair. A hair transplant requires the artistic skill of a well trained surgeon. Angle, direction and placement are extremely important in a hair transplant. When done correctly, the newly transplanted hair will look completely natural. Ten days after the procedure, no one will ever know you had it done.
When can I go out in public?
You should plan to take at least 2 or 3 days to rest after your procedure. Within the first week you can start wearing a clean loose fitting hat. You can also use hair fibers to conceal the procedure.
When will I see results?
Results from a hair transplant can be seen as early as 3 or 4 months!
