Hair Augmentation
What is it and how does it work?
Hair augmentation is a medical technique to treat such conditions as alopecia (loss of hair on the scalp of eyebrows).
Hair augmentation involves multiple injections using a very fine needle of a prescribed medication, placed immediately beneath the surface of the skin into the problematic area(s). Just a "drop" of solution is used at each injection site.
Does it hurt?
We prepare the skin by using topical anaesthetic creams prior to treatment. We use very fine needles and a cold compress is then applied to the treated area/s to keep any discomfort to a minimum.
Are there any side effects?
Possible side-effects are small bruises which vanish in a few days, and a little swelling in the injected area which remains for about 12-36 hours.
How long does the treatment take?
The treatment takes approximately 45 minutes depending on the area/s to be treated.
How long will the effects of the treatment last?
It is recommended to have a course of 6 treatments at intervals of one month. It is recommended to have a maintenance 'top-up' treatment every 6 months after completion of your course but you will be advised on the potential outcome at your initial consultation.
What aftercare will I need?
Avoid washing the treated area for at least a day after treatment, but otherwise, you can return to normal activities.
