1. Micrograft hair transplants (sometimes called neograft hair transplants or micrograft hair restoration) are a cost-effective way for men and women to combat the effects of hair loss.
2. It provides a permanent, fuller head of hair with a natural-looking hairline. It is superior to the plug procedures used in the past – both in terms of look and healing time.
3. Small grafts of hair called follicular unit micrografts are removed from other areas of the body or other parts of the head where hair is full and not prone to hair loss.
4. Using a very fine needle, the follicles are then transplanted onto the parts of the head where there has been hair loss.
5. After 6-12 weeks, this hair falls out, and the hair follicles begin to produce new hair during the next three months or so.

There’s nothing like spending your lazy summer days on the beach in your colorful bikinis and board shorts. However, stretch marks, varicose veins, bald spots, or love handles can ruin the fun. So, you might want to consider getting cosmetic procedures this winter.

Why Book Cosmetic Procedures in the Winter?

Although you are free to get cosmetic procedures any time of the year, the cold months are the most ideal. That’s due to the fact that the weather is cool, which makes your recovery period a pleasant experience. Simply put, it’s all about convenience.

Most surgical and non-surgical procedures require patients to wear special undergarments, compression bra, or bandages afterwards, which can cause discomfort when the weather is hot. Additionally, the chilly season is an excellent excuse to layer clothes that will hide scars, bruises, or bandages. Moreover, people tend to stay indoors in the winter, which reduces the stress of having to turn down social invitations. Lastly, the intensity of the winter sun is lower than in spring and summer, which is beneficial for those who have sensitive post-treatment skin.

What Cosmetic Procedures to Book This Winter

You can book many cosmetic treatments in the winter, and below are some of them:

• Liposuction

Heavy coats, baggy sweaters, long sleeves – these are some of the reasons you should book  liposuction in the winter. It’s easier to hide swellings and bruises when you’re bundled up with clothes. Another reason is stubborn fat deposits are more noticeable in the winter. This makes it easier for Dr. Matarasso to target the problem areas during this procedure.

• Hair Transplantation

If you want to restore bald spots in time for summer, you should schedule hair transplantation anytime in the winter. The reason is the results could take three to four months before you can see signs of hair growth.

• Sclerotherapy

Legs with spider veins or varicose veins can be unattractive to look at, especially if you wear swimsuits or hot pants. Thankfully, sclerotherapy can address these issues. However, wearing compression garments following treatment can be uncomfortable, which explains why this treatment is best performed in the winter. Cool winter weather is when you can comfortably wear pants, slacks and jeans to cover the compression garments.

• CoolSculpting®

If you plan to have a sculpted body in time for spring and summer, it’s best to undergo a CoolSculpting® procedure during the cold winter months. Peak results are more noticeable after six months, which is just in time for bikini season.

It’s definitely advantageous for you if you book your cosmetic procedures in the winter instead of waiting for spring and summer. By the time the hot months roll in, you’ll have a better looking body to flaunt with.

Thinning hair? If you miss having a full head of hair every time you look in the mirror, come see Dr. Matarasso. Micrograft hair restoration can give you your hair back. Naturally looking hair is possible, even after hair loss!

Why Should I Consider Hair Transplantation?

If you have hair loss, hair transplantation could be the solution. It is an excellent and highly effective treatment option for many men and women. This procedure involves moving hair from areas with more hair to areas experiencing hair loss. Hair transplantation offers:

• Permanent results.
• Natural looking hairline.
• Restoration of a fuller head of hair.
• Minimal downtime.

Dr. Matarasso offers hair transplantation using the micrograft method—a modern, advanced method of hair transplantation that offers natural looking results with less healing time. Rather than using large strips or plugs of hair, micrograft relocates small, individual follicles of hair. This allows us to achieve a very natural result while minimizing scarring (no large linear scar) and reducing healing time. Call today and learn more about micrograft hair transplantation.

Why Is Micrograft Superior to Other Hair Transplantation Methods?

Micrograft offers many advantages to traditional hair transplantation methods. Since individual follicles are used, there is a greater flexibility to create a natural looking hairline. Scarring is reduced and healing times are accelerated. This method does require a great deal of surgical skill and expertise. Make sure you choose a highly qualified doctor like Dr. Matarasso.

I Don’t Have Time for Downtime. Will Micrograft Work for Me?

If you’re too busy to spend weeks recovering after hair transplantation, micrograft transfers may be ideal for you. This revolutionary method of transplanting hair minimizes downtime and allows for speedy healing. You can return to work the very next day and to exercise after about a week.

Most patients experience some swelling, scabbing, inflammation, etc., but this typically fades quickly. Most patients need pain medication for only the first day or two after the procedure.
