The Best Compliment About Your Hair Transplant Is When No One Notices

Today, social media has elevated beauty marketing, leading many people to believe that whatever they do is never enough. To get noticed, you may need a new skin treatment or body enhancement.

This can become an obsession, leading a man or woman to go overboard and fall into the ‘odd zone.’ The lips are strangely bloated-looking, and maybe the skin has a peculiar sheen. And the hair could have an unnatural, sculpted look. Sure, these results can happen in the U.S. but generally occur when an individual decides to fly overseas for a ‘cheap hair transplant.’

Bay Area locals living in places like Palo Alto can avoid all the above by meeting a professional ARTAS robotic hair transplant surgeon in Foster City. Dr. Miguel Canales has the staff and expertise to deliver an unnoticeable hair transplant. And although the results may appear easy, that is deceptive. It takes a high level of skill to make work this meticulous look easy.

Here are a few things Dr. Canales considers when planning an ARTAS robotic hair transplant.

• Hair stability: Wherever the hair thinning is, it’s important to ensure the hair loss has slowed. Because a hair transplant tends to be a traumatic event for the body. Some hair loss after surgery might occur, along with scarring, but it’s temporary and things are expected to stabilize during the healing process.
• Design of the hairline: Pay attention that the hairline is at a natural height at the front and around the temples. It can’t be too low or too high.
• Watch the harvesting: Overharvesting follicles causes shock loss in the donor area. The ARTAS robot helps prevent overextraction of follicles by making precise FUE movement throughout the scalp.
• Avoid over-grafting: This can lead to a lack of blood supply, which can also impact the transplanted follicles. There is always a balance to pay attention to. A patient may expect thicker hair, but that doesn’t mean stuffing too many follicles in one space.
• Avoid under-grafting: Low-density grafting can leave too much space, making the scalp too noticeable after recovering from hair transplant surgery.
• Proper care of grafts: Caring of the donor grafted hair before implantation is key. Dried-out graphs can lead to poor survival; strong, healthy follicles help with successful results.
• Unnatural hairline: If the surgeon moves too quickly and fails to pay attention to the hairline angle, it can appear odd. If too many follicles are grouped together, the hair will lose the look of fine natural hair a person can comb their fingers through. And finally, placing hair follicles in neat rows is not normal; the implanted follicles must be staggered in a natural way.

These are only a few things an expert hair transplant surgeon notices to ensure a successful hair transplantation in the Palo Alto area. And it’s worth going to an expert ARTAS robotic hair transplant surgeon like Dr. Canales, who has been managing hair transplant surgery for men and women for several decades. His goal is for every patient to have hair that looks so natural, people won’t know there was hair loss to begin with!
