Below you can find the answer to your questions as they were asked:
· What is the percentage guaranteed for the transplantation?
If diagnosis is done correctly with an expert eye, it can be 95-99% successful.
· What are the side effects?
A linear scar on the back, some swelling and redness on forehead for a few days after surgery and possibility of some numbness at or around donor and recipient area. For more you see donor scar complication post in my blog.
· Can I do the treatment in India / UAE (mention places)?
We are in process of having regular visits to Dubai, but we don’t have a certain day yet. Please check with our office within the next few months for the schedule of our Dubai, UAE hair transplant clinic. However, if you are willing to travel to get your hair restoration surgery done in our Los Angeles hair transplant clinic, we do have a special program for the patients from other countries in which they can get 10% off the cost of their hair restoration procedure toward their traveling expenses.
· How is the treatment period, what are the pre and post procedures of treatment and how is the treatment done?
Please see our website to get more information of hair transplant surgery with follicular unit transplant method. You can also see some before and after hair transplant pictures there.
· What about the price for the transplanting
Check the website of US Hair Restoration for cost of hair transplant surgery.
· How is the growth of hair after transplanting? Gradual, Immediate……
It usually takes 3 months for you to see any growth, and then it will get better and better until 1 year post surgery.
Please don’t hesitate to ask any other questions by email or through Hair Restoration Blog.
Best,
Parsa Mohebi, MD

I guess you are asking about medical hair restoration vs. hair transplant in your condition. If so, it needs to be evaluated by a hair transplant surgeon through microscopic miniaturization study. If your hair loss is limited to your crown area and you have significant miniaturization in the area, then you might be a good candidate for medical treatment with finasteride or minoxidil. You may be able to see drastic changes within a year. However if your hair loss is completed and you don’t have much miniaturized hair on the crown area, medical treatment of hair loss is not going to help you much and I recommend hair transplantation assuming that you have healthy donor hair.
