The most common cause of hair loss in men and women is androgenetic alopecia,
commonly referred to as male or female pattern baldness (although females
generally do not go bald). In addition to medical therapies, specialists
from Penn State Dermatology offer surgical correction of androgenetic
alopecia through state-of-the-art hair transplantation. The technique of
follicular unit transplantation, along with micro-grafts and
mini-grafts, produces natural appearing results. In other words, no one
should know that a hair transplantation was performed.
The procedure is performed in a cosmetic suite at the Hershey
Cosmetic Surgery Associates location that offers privacy and comfort.
Local anesthesia for the entire procedure translates into convenience and
cost-effectiveness. Bandages are removed 24 hours after the procedure and
return to work is possible in 2 to 3 days. The results and number of
transplant procedures depends on multiple factors such as donor site density and
extent of baldness.
