Hair Transplant

Hair Transplant

Hair transplant surgery involves transferring healthy hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, to areas where hair is thinning or completely lost. The process generally consists of the following steps:
Initial Consultation and Assessment: The first step is to assess the patient’s hair condition and decide on the best transplant method based on the scalp and hair characteristics. The patient’s hair type, color, and other factors will influence the choice of technique.

Preparation:
The donor area is shaved, and local anesthesia is administered to numb the area. The patient may also receive sedation to help them relax during the procedure.

Extraction of Hair Follicles:
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Hair follicles are individually removed from the donor site using a small, circular punch tool. This technique leaves minimal scarring.

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation):
A strip of scalp is taken from the donor site, which contains several hair follicles. This method typically leaves a small scar at the donor site.

The extracted follicles are then carefully implanted into the thinning or bald areas, ensuring a natural-looking result. The procedure usually takes several hours, depending on the number of follicles to be transplanted.

The procedure is generally performed under local anesthesia, with the patient awake but relaxed. After the transplant, a bandage is applied to the treated area, and the patient is typically able to leave the clinic within a couple of hours. The recovery period is usually short, and most people can return to work within a few days, although the newly transplanted hair may fall out temporarily before growing back.

There are different hair transplant methods available, including FUE, FUT, and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation), each offering varying advantages depending on the individual’s hair loss pattern and goals.
