Recovery time from a permanent hair transplantation is “pretty specific,” Tammie explained. As the donor site begins to heal some patients have reported minor irrita- tion; others have reported being able to immediately step back into their routines. “Some people complain that first night that it’s difficult to sleep because of the suture of the donor strip. We’ve also had patients who’ve had the proce- dure done and then take off on trips! We had one patient who took off gambling in Montreal for the weekend. It’s like anything, it’s an individual experience. I feel it is critically important to discuss in great detail with our patients; and manage expectations accordingly,” she said. Part of the More Hair for You candid approach is deliver- ing news to prospective patients that they don’t necessarily want to hear. “Only 30 percent of women with hair loss are good candidates for this procedure,” Tammie explained. “When most women begin thinning they are typically thinning all over, including the back of the head. Almost ninety percent of men, on the other hand, are good candidates. From that; I can determine if they’re a good candidate for the procedure. If you’re a candidate I’m confident you’ll be happy with your results; if you’re not, we will not perform the procedure. So much of what we do is setting the right expectations for our patients.” “What’s great; is the hair we plant is permanent,” Tammie continued. “It’s not uncommon to see people come back 10 years later because they’ve continued to naturally thin; keeping in mind; only the hair we’ve transplanted is perma- nent.” The cost of a permanent hair transplant may vary due to the complexity of the work. However, there are no “hidden” costs associated with the procedure. “I’m often asked about maintenance costs after the procedure – there are none,” Tammie said. “If you’re a candidate it’s going to work and you’re going to be happy. We do have finance options and for most people it works out to just a couple hundred dollars a month.” Our consultations are free and I provide consultations over Skype or Facetime, or even from pictures.
For Tammie the affordability of the procedure means that More Hair for You is able to touch more lives.
“I know we change lives for the better because our clients reach out to us,” Tammie said. “Our team is made up of professionals who understand the impact of hair loss. While some people don’t care that they’re thinning, for others it’s had a significant impact on their lives. It’s all about self-es- teem. When people reach out, they need help and we’re here. We’re confident and comfortable in saying that if you’re a candidate you’ll have success.”
