A hair transplant or hair grafting involves moving hairs from the donor site of the person’s head which is usually the back of the head to the recipient area which could be any bald part of the head. It can be a great option for many people with hair loss conditions such as women with thinning hair, men with pattern baldness, and those who have bald spots due to a scar or injury. Considering the need for donor sites, this method could not be effective for those lacking enough donor sites to transplant to the bald area. Moreover, it’s not a good option for women with large balding areas and people losing hair due to medications.

Hairline lowering can reduce the height of the forehead through hair transplantation in people with naturally large foreheads or those with a receding hairline due to hair loss in the frontal part of the head. It's simply a regular hair transplant in which hair grafts are harvested from the back of the head but transplanted into the hairline area. Using this method, you also have the option to ask for changing your hairline shape if you’re not happy with yours. For example, change a v-shape hairline to a round one or vice versa.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection is a cosmetic procedure that uses the patient’s own blood to stimulate hair growth, accelerate healing, and rejuvenate the skin. This method is used to treat thinning hair, wrinkles, dark circles under the eyes, sun damage, etc. Facial PRP injection usually brings immediate results in the skin texture, freshness, and tone giving the patient a younger look. PRP could also help treat and prevent hair loss as it promotes new hair growth. 

Scalp reduction is a surgical hair loss treatment option in which the bald part of the scalp (usually the crown area) is removed and the part with healthy hairs is stretched to cover the area, reducing the baldness. This procedure requires good skin elasticity and is an effective option for people suffering from vertex alopecia (baldness on the crown). The results are immediate and can totally eliminate the need for hair transplantation. However, occasionally a combination of both procedures could offer even better results.

Artificial hair transplant is a procedure in which artificial hair strands made of biocompatible artificial fiber are implanted deep into the scalp to treat baldness. This procedure can be done if the surgeon makes sure the candidate is not allergic to the fibers.

It works perfectly for those with large bald areas and even complete baldness. Artificial hair implantation is usually less painful and more affordable than hair transplant, has immediate results, and can provide high hair density, different sizes, and textures. But it needs constant care, like cleaning the scalp once a month to avoid complications.

Mesotherapy is a hair and skin rejuvenation technique that involves micro-injections of vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants, and plant extracts to revitalize hair and skin and remove excess fat. Mesotherapy makes use of very fine needles to deliver the injections into the mesoderm which is the middle layer of the skin. Mesotherapy nourishes and adds hydration to the skin which improves its health and corrects underlying issues damaging the skin such as poor circulation, dehydration, or inflammation.

Microblading is a semi-permanent tattooing method in which pigment is inserted under your skin using a needle to create the look of real hair strands, usually done to improve thin or sparse eyebrows and make them look fuller. Microblading gives a more natural appearance to eyebrows compared to conventional eyebrow tattooing, and its result usually lasts 18 to 30 months, after which you may need to repeat the procedure. Your skin type, lifestyle, and how often you get touch-ups can affect the durability of your microbladed brow. 

Brow lift is a facial rejuvenation surgery that improves the appearance of the forehead and eyebrows by lifting drooping eyebrows and reducing wrinkles, creases, frown lines, and craw’s feet. A brow lift may also be beneficial to the lateral visual field as droopy brows can adversely affect vision. It can be done through several techniques, from a minimally invasive approach, usually accompanied by a blepharoplasty, to a direct brow lift which includes an incision along the brow line. However, most techniques used today leave minimal scars, usually hidden in the hairline or a crease.

Botox injection is a popular rejuvenating procedure that involves the injection of botulinum toxin to temporarily paralyze and relax muscles, commonly done on the face to treat facial lines and wrinkles, gummy smiles, etc. Compared to other injectables, Botox can be used to remove a wider variety of wrinkles and aging signs in different areas of the face, treating both large and fine lines. Botox effects usually last about 3 to 4 months. So, to maintain the desired result, treatment should be repeated every 4 months on average. However, as your muscles can be trained to contract less, the effects may last longer over time.

Microneedling is a minimally-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure in which the skin is pricked with tiny needles to trigger a natural healing response, leading to the production of more collagen and elastin, which in turn will improve the overall appearance of the skin. Microneedling can be performed on the face or other parts of the body affected by aging signs such as lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin or other skin conditions such as acne scars or hyperpigmentation. Many people start to see the initial results of a microneedling treatment within a week. The results usually last 3 to 5 months. You may need more than one session depending on the severity of the issue you want to address.

A chemical peel is a cosmetic skin procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to peel the damaged outer layers and stimulate the growth of new skin that is more youthful, brighter, and smoother. Considering the level of penetration, there are three types of chemical peels; light, mild, and deep. The durability of the results depends on the type of peel, among which deep peel is almost permanent but is quite rare. A light peel is the most common one and usually, 3 to 6 treatment sessions with 1-2 months intervals are needed for best results. Results last 1-2 months in the beginning but may last up to 6 months after repeated sessions.

Dermabrasion is an invasive skincare procedure in which the damaged top layers of the skin are scraped away, usually using a device with a rough rotating tip. This causes the skin to repair itself by producing more collagen, revealing new layers that are smoother and healthier. Dermabrasion is used to treat a variety of skin problems such as scars, acne scars, wrinkles, pigmentation issues, uneven skin texture, etc. The procedure is followed by a few days of downtime and the final results appear in around 3 months.

Laser resurfacing is a procedure using ablative or non-ablative lasers to improve the appearance and texture of the skin, used to treat age spots, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, crow’s feet, sagging skin, uneven skin tone, warts, etc. Ablative lasers resurface the skin by removing the top layer, while non-ablative lasers cause vascular lesions to shrink away and stimulate collagen production. The number of required sessions depends on the severity of the concern. You may achieve the desired result in a single session without having to repeat the procedure for years. Yet, more severe issues may need several monthly or yearly sessions.

Brow bone reduction is a procedure that reduces the prominence of the forehead bone (frontal bossing) along the brow line and improves the forehead contours to create a smoother and more gently sloped forehead. It may be done alone or as part of a facial feminization surgery, accompanied by a hairline lowering or a brow lift. Different surgical techniques may be used in brow bone reduction depending on several factors, including brow bone prominence, sinus wall thickness, and sinus and forehead size. although the surgery involves an incision, it usually remains no prominent scar since the incision can be concealed in the hairline.

Eyebrow transplant is a permanent cosmetic surgery for the eyebrows in which hairs are taken from other parts of the body such as the back of the head or a small area above the ear and transplanted into the eyebrows to give you fuller and thicker eyebrows. Since hair follicles are also transferred to the eyebrows besides individual hairs, you can ensure hair growing even after the initial ones fall out. However, it may take several months for the follicles to adapt to their new place and start growing hair. The method may also be more expensive compared to other eyebrow procedures, but natural hairs of one’s own are its main advantage.

Waxing is a hair removal technique in which a sticky substance is applied to the skin and then abruptly removed to pluck unwanted hair at the follicle level. For optimal results or to reduce pain while waxing, make sure the hair length is no more than one-fourth to three-fourths of an inch, and avoid using retinoid creams a few days before waxing to prevent skin removal along with the hair. Other factors such as specific medications and diseases, recent sunburn, or laser therapy may also increase the chance of skin lifting while waxing. Waxing results last about 3-6 weeks depending on the individual’s hair growth rate and the area of waxing.

Threading is a precise hair removal technique in which a thin cotton/polyester thread is doubled and twisted and then rolled over the skin, plucking the unwanted hair at the follicle level, mostly used for brow shaping. Compared to waxing, threading is a more precise method for shaping eyebrows, providing more control over the procedure to define eyebrows more accurately. It is also a gentler method, making it an ideal option for removing unwanted hair on the entire face area, however, not so efficient for areas with too much coarse hair. The results of hair removal through threading can last up to 4 weeks.

Laser hair removal is a popular hair removal method in which laser light is focused on the skin to damage the hair follicles, preventing or delaying future hair growth. It is a minimally invasive method that can result in permanent hair removal if done properly. Several treatment sessions, usually about 4 to 6 sessions with intervals of 6 weeks, are needed for maximum results. You may need yearly appointments to maintain the desired results.

Tattoo removal surgery is a procedure aimed at removing an unwanted tattoo, performed by cutting out the tissue that contains the tattoo and stitching the surrounding skin back together. Surgical tattoo removal is usually done under local anesthesia. As the area with the tattoo is completely removed in this method, the result is immediate and effective without having to undergo several treatment sessions (compared to other removal techniques). However, surgical tattoo removal leaves a scar on the body and is mostly used for small tattoos only.

Laser tattoo removal is the most common method to remove unwanted tattoos. It’s done by targeting the ink particles under the skin with highly concentrated light waves to break them down into smaller pieces, making it easier for the body to remove them. Tattoos containing several colors may need to be treated by various lasers and different wavelengths. Unlike surgical removal, this procedure does not completely remove the tattoo but makes it significantly lighter and less noticeable. However, several sessions are required to achieve the best results. You’ll usually need 6 to 8 treatment sessions with intervals of 6-8 weeks.
