The Psychological Benefits of Hair Transplant

If you are balding, you probably have had moments of embarrassment that linger in the back of your mind. Balding can be traumatic for some men and devastating for women. Hair is a thing of pride and when it starts to thin or disappear quickly, the pride goes down the drain with the hair. People who are suffering from the affliction of baldness go through cycles of depression. Their self-confidence and self-esteem sink to all-time lows. The social embarrassment is huge. This is especially true at family gatherings because people feel that they can make comments about your thinning.

A hair transplant is akin to plastic surgery. When someone has their crow’s feet smoothed or their tummy tucked, they feel better about themselves. They look younger and feel younger. The psychological benefit of feeling better about yourself can make a huge difference of how you look at yourself and how others look at you.

Though hair transplants are usually the preferred method of hair replacement, many have tried and failed with procedures like spray on hair, Rogaine, or chemical treatment. The real success stories are with hair transplants. Plastic surgery, which hair transplants fall under, has revolutionized how people see themselves and how they feel about themselves.

A common worry of someone who wants a hair transplant is that if they show up to work with a head full of hair, people will notice. A hair transplant is not a one-time procedure. Hair is placed in a few places each session and it fills in the bald spots over time. The people around you will not know that you have had the transplant done. The only one who knows you are having the procedure is your doctor, your family, and you. Once the procedure is done, you will feel like you did when you get a fresh haircut, looking good and feeling good about yourself.
