Hair Transplants: Techniques Used by Dr. Martin in Norwich, CT

Hair Restoration in Norwich, CTWhether you suffer from male pattern baldness or more general forms of hair loss, you have probably considered hair restoration treatments. The most effective hair restoration techniques are forms of hair transplant. At Connecticut Surgical Arts, Dr. Richard J. Martin uses a number of advanced hair transplant techniques to help patients achieve full, natural hair growth.

PRP Therapy

PRP therapy is one of the more popular restoration treatments because it involves no surgery or transplants. PRP therapy requires only the patient’s blood, which is used to develop a concentrated amount of blood platelets. Growth factors in these blood platelets can stimulate natural hair growth upon injection into the scalp. Many patients like this treatment because it leaves no scarring and does not involve any downtime. However, multiple treatments are often necessary to achieve the desired results. PRP therapy may be best suited for patients who want gradual, natural regrowth without surgery.

Micrograft

A micrograft hair transplant is a hair transplant technique that is especially effective in smaller areas of hair loss. This treatment involves the surgical removal and transplantation of functioning hair follicles. These healthy hairs are placed into thinning or balding areas, where they will continue to grow naturally to increase hair volume. Unlike PRP therapy, micrografting requires a few days of downtime, but typically delivers the desired results in a single treatment. The micrograft hair transplant technique may be best suited for patients who have small areas of thinning and do not want to pursue a full hair transplant or other more invasive treatments.

Which Technique is Best for Me?

Both PRP therapy and micrografting are effective hair transplant techniques, but the ideal treatment will depend on your unique needs. We encourage all patients to come in to see Dr. Martin for a consultation, where he will assess your hair loss and cosmetic goals to develop a personalized treatment plan.
