Everybody loses their hair, it just happens to some of us earlier in life than others. So what’s the solution? A wide selection of hats? A professionally-fitted wig? Or perhaps just embrace your rapidly thinning hair...
The fact is that hair loss, particularly when it happens before we reach our senior years, can seriously damage our self-esteem . However, there is a better, more permanent solution compared to those previously mentioned: undergoing a hair transplant. While definitely a big step, this innovative procedure doesn’t have to be expensive. For a hair transplant, Manila makes an ideal location thanks to its range of high-quality, affordable clinics.
How Does a Hair Transplant Work?
Hair follicles are transferred from a section of the scalp to thinning or balding areas . This is an effective way to treat male baldness. A similar process can also be used to restore hair to other areas, such as the eyebrows, beard, or an area damaged in an accident.
Why Have It Done In Manila?
The main reason is the low prices. Most services in the Philippines are very affordable , including medical procedures. Manila is also the country's biggest city and has the most developed medical infrastructure. Lastly, it is a popular tourist destination , and its international airport is often travelers’ first port of entry into the Philippines. These practical reasons make it a great location to get a hair transplant.
