HAIR TRANSPLANT

Hair transplant is a surgical procedure designed to address hair loss and baldness by redistributing healthy hair follicles from one part of the scalp, known as the donor area, to areas with thinning or no hair, referred to as the recipient area. This technique aims to restore natural hair growth and improve the overall appearance of the hairline and scalp.

Key features of hair transplant surgery include:

Donor Hair Harvesting: The procedure involves harvesting hair follicles, typically from the back or sides of the scalp, where hair is genetically resistant to balding. These follicles, known as grafts, are carefully extracted for transplantation.

Recipient Site Preparation: Once the grafts are harvested, tiny incisions are made in the recipient area to accommodate the placement of the follicles. The surgeon strategically places the grafts to achieve a natural-looking distribution and density.

Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): There are two primary methods of hair transplant—FUT and FUE. In FUT, a strip of skin containing hair follicles is removed from the donor area, and the grafts are dissected for transplantation. In FUE, individual follicles are extracted directly from the donor area using a small, specialized tool.

Natural Hair Growth: Once transplanted, the hair follicles adapt to their new location and resume natural hair growth. The transplanted hair blends seamlessly with existing hair, providing a permanent solution to balding or thinning.

Recovery and Healing: After the procedure, patients may experience some swelling, redness, or mild discomfort in both the donor and recipient areas. Healing time varies, but most individuals can return to their normal activities within a few days to a week.

Progressive and Lasting Results: The transplanted hair initially sheds, but over time, new hair begins to grow from the follicles. Results are gradual, with fuller and more natural-looking hair becoming evident in the following months. Hair transplant results are typically permanent, providing a long-term solution to hair loss.

Hair transplant surgery requires careful consideration, and individuals interested in the procedure should consult with a qualified and experienced hair transplant surgeon to discuss expectations, candidacy, and the most suitable technique for their specific needs.
