Hair restoration has entered a new era. But despite advancements in technique, tools, and artistry, outdated myths still cloud public understanding of hair transplantation.
At AlviArmani, we believe education is just as important as execution. Our approach to hair transplant surgery is grounded in science, individualized design, and results that speak for themselves.
Let’s take a closer look at the most common myths—and the real truth behind them.
The Truth: Gone are the days of “pluggy” or unnatural results. Modern techniques like follicular unit extraction (FUE) have transformed the industry. At AlviArmani, we focus on dense, artistic placement of individual hair follicles for results that blend perfectly with your existing head of hair.
Myth #2: You CAN'T Get More Than 2,500 Grafts with FUE
The Truth: This limit has been debunked since 2009. With modern tools and techniques, mega FUE sessions are available. At AlviArmani, our advanced FUE procedure allows us to perform high-yield sessions—often exceeding 3,000 or even 5,000 grafts—while protecting the integrity of the donor hair.
The Truth: Hair loss impacts everyone. Women experiencing thinning, a widening part, or temple recession can benefit from a hair restoration procedure designed around their needs. Our team creates a natural, feminine hairline with precision and discretion.
Myth #4: Hair Transplant Is the First Choice for Patients Under 23
The Truth: For younger individuals, hair loss may still be developing. The scalp and head are definitely still forming. Development of scar tissue from hair transplantation prior to full formation of facial dimensions may lead to sub adqueate outcomes. Full growth is usually acheived by 25 and the majority of the growth occurs during late teens early 20s.
At AlviArmani, we assess your hairline progression before recommending a treatment plan. Sometimes, nonsurgical options or time are the better first step before a surgical procedure. For patients under 23, while exceptions exist, this is usually the case.
Myth #5: A Hair Transplant Replaces the Need for Preventative Therapies
The Truth: A hair transplant restores hair to balding areas of the scalp, but it doesn’t stop ongoing loss of native hair. That’s why AlviArmani incorporates hair restoration solutions like PRP and topical support to protect what you still have—and what we restore.
The Truth: Hair taken from the back of the head—the DHT-resistant donor zone—is programmed to grow for life. Once moved to thinning areas, these follicles produce new hair that is long-lasting. With AlviArmani’s proprietary protocols, we aim for maximum survival and longevity.
The Truth: Density is our signature. Our expert team uses ultra-refined instrumentation and artistic placement to mimic natural spacing and direction. Patients leave with a full head of hair that looks untouched by surgery—and perfectly suited to them.
Myth #8: Turkey Is a Bad Option if You’re Looking for FUT
Not true! While we recommend our South Africa, Argentina or Uraguay Clinics we believe Turkey has fantastic FUT surgeons. But more importantly, FUE has become the global gold standard—leaving traditional methods like FUT behind due to linear scarring and longer recovery time. At AlviArmani, we specialize exclusively in modern hair restoration techniques that prioritize comfort, aesthetics, and recovery—getting you back to your normal activities faster. If you are set on obtaining an FUT procedure, why not go to Turkey, you get a free trip out of it as well.
Myth #9: Recovery Is Long and Painful
The Truth: With local anesthesia, Ampligraf and minimally invasive tools, most patients experience only mild discomfort. At AlviArmani, we support healing with our Risanare™ and Crescere™ recovery systems, our Amp-T PRP and our Ampligraf Operative solutions. You’ll typically return to normal activities within a few days.
The Truth: We believe the right hair restoration process should fit your goals, not someone else’s template. With flexible payment options and personalized plans, we make it possible to achieve exceptional outcomes—especially for patients in Salt Lake City, Utah and across the state of Utah—without compromising on care.
Myth #11: It Doesn’t Matter Where Your Follicles Are Stored During Harvesting
The Truth: Storage conditions during the harvesting period can significantly impact graft survival. At AlviArmani, follicles are placed in our proprietary Ampligraf™ solution—kept in the ideal environment for maximum viability.
Myth #12: PRP Needs Multiple Sessions to Be Effective
The Truth: Not all PRP is created equal. AlviArmani uses AMP-T PRP—a potent single-session formulation activated intraoperatively. One session is often all that’s needed to boost healing and growth.
Myth #13: There’s No Difference Between Hairs and Grafts
The Truth: A graft may contain 1 to 4 hairs. Saying 2,000 grafts means you could be getting 4,000+ hairs depending on follicular structure. AlviArmani ensures the highest quality multi-hair grafts are prioritized for natural density.
Myth #14: You Have to Shave Your Head for a Hair Transplant
The Truth: With Vitruvian No-Shave FUE™, you don’t have to shave your head. We harvest and place grafts seamlessly without disrupting your existing hairstyle.
