Hair Transplant

How Hair Transplant Works

There are two main types of hair transplants: follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE).

FUT: FUT is a more traditional type of hair transplant. In FUT, a strip of skin is removed from the back or sides of the scalp. The hair follicles are then extracted from the strip of skin and transplanted to the area of the scalp where hair loss has occurred.

FUE: FUE is a newer type of hair transplant. In FUE, individual hair follicles are extracted from the back or sides of the scalp using a small needle. The hair follicles are then transplanted to the area of the scalp where hair loss has occurred.

Benefits

Natural-Looking Results: Hair transplant procedures aim to achieve natural-looking results by carefully designing the hairline and implanting the hair grafts in a way that mimics natural hair growth patterns. The transplanted hair blends seamlessly with the existing hair, providing a natural appearance.

Permanent Solution: Hair transplant is considered a permanent solution to hair loss. The transplanted hair follicles are typically resistant to the hormone responsible for hair loss (DHT), which means they are less likely to fall out over time. This makes hair transplant a long-lasting solution compared to temporary hair restoration methods.

Improved Self-Confidence: Hair loss can have a significant impact on a person's self-esteem and confidence. Restoring a fuller head of hair through a hair transplant can improve self-confidence and enhance overall well-being. It allows individuals to feel more comfortable and satisfied with their appearance.

Low Maintenance: Transplanted hair requires no special maintenance or care. Once the transplanted hair follicles have healed and new hair starts to grow, they can be treated and styled just like natural hair. Regular washing, cutting, and styling routines can be followed without any restrictions.

Customized and Natural Hairline: Hair transplant procedures are tailored to each individual's specific needs. The surgeon works closely with the patient to design a hairline that complements their facial features and preferences. This customization ensures a natural-looking result that suits the patient's unique characteristics.

Minimally Invasive Procedure: Hair transplant techniques, such as FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), involve minimal invasiveness. Compared to older methods, modern hair transplant procedures leave minimal scarring, allowing for a quicker recovery and less discomfort during and after the procedure.

No Donor Hair Limitations: With hair transplant, the donor hair is taken from the patient's own scalp, usually from areas unaffected by hair loss. The availability of donor hair is typically not an issue, as even individuals with limited donor hair can benefit from hair transplant procedures.

Cost-Effective in the Long Run: Although the initial cost of a hair transplant procedure may seem significant, it can be a cost-effective solution in the long run. Unlike temporary hair restoration methods that require ongoing maintenance and replacement, hair transplant provides a permanent solution that eliminates the need for continuous expenses.
