From a medical perspective

Hair loss, which affects a significant percentage of men and a minority number of women, is largely due to a genetic factor. Other factors, such as disease or side effects of medication, may also be responsible for hair loss.

Heredity plays a key role in progressive hair loss. This form of baldness often leads to psychological problems, including anxiety, loss of self-confidence and frustration.

Fortunately, following the development of micrografting and follicular unit transplants, many men and women regained their joie de vivre. Dr Alain Sabourin leading-edge surgical technique helps you look the way you did before baldness struck. Regardless of the procedure, it must take into consideration the natural shape of the face. In other words, it must look realistic. When micrografting is properly done, the results are extremely natural looking.

Micrografting does not add hair to your scalp, but rather redistributes the existing hair. The surgery is aimed at increasing the amount of hair in a given area. The patient must still have enough hair in a donor area at the back of the head. Age is not a factor, but micrografting is not possible in the case of total baldness or baldness caused by a still-active disease.
