Four Common Reasons Men Put Off Hair Restoration

Many people who consider hair replacement hesitate over the decision. While today’s approaches are more effective, less painful, and more natural looking than ever before… it is still a big decision. And one that some agonize over.

Why Do People Avoid Hair Transplants?

There are a variety of reasons, often based on fear of risk and some based on outdated information. Some of the most commonly encountered include:

A Lingering Bad Rep – Hair replacement today has advanced several orders of magnitude since the infamous days of hair plugs. The shadow cast by those outmoded and discarded practices lingers in the public consciousness.
Worries About Aftercare – Some people shy away from exploring transplant options because they are concerned about keeping up with the aftercare. These perceptions are also based on outdated info. The vast majority of modern procedures, especially the ARTAS® Robotic Hair Transplant System, require minimal recovery time. In addition, their impact on your schedule is less than ever and most of them are outpatient procedures.
Fear of Side Effects – It is always wise to be aware of potential side effects, but fear should not drive decisions. Any surgical procedure carries the risk of scarring, infection, or other unwanted consequences. You should research actual numbers associated with them rather than simply worrying. Modern, robotic FUE creates only tiny incisions – which means the risk of complications is low. As with all medical procedures, it is important to get a professional’s opinion rather than simply relying on your own judgment. While it is possible for these things to happen, their occurrence is quite uncommon.
Ineligibility – Different procedures have differing requirements. If a patient does not fit those criteria, they will not be a viable candidate for the procedure. The good news is that more people are eligible than ever before, and viable treatment plans are the overwhelming majority.

As the treatment methods and technologies have advanced, they have become more accessible to the average person. This has caused a spike in interest in hair restoration procedures around the world.
