Hair Transplantation

Most Effective and Cos Effective Hair Loss Treatment

Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure designed to address hair loss by transplanting hair follicles from one part of the body (usually the back or sides of the scalp, where hair is resistant to balding) to the bald or thinning areas. This procedure is commonly used to treat male pattern baldness but can also be used to restore hair in women and for other types of hair loss.

  1. Consultation:

    • Before the procedure, a consultation is conducted with a hair transplant surgeon. The surgeon will assess the patient’s scalp, discuss expectations, and determine if they are a suitable candidate for the procedure.

  2. Preparation:

    • On the day of the procedure, the patient’s hair in the donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) is trimmed short to facilitate the extraction of follicles.

  3. Donor Hair Extraction:

    • Hair follicles are harvested from the donor area using one of two main techniques:
      • Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): Involves the removal of a strip of scalp from the donor area, and the strip is dissected into individual follicular units.
      • Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): Involves the extraction of individual follicular units directly from the scalp using tiny punches.

  4. Follicle Preparation:

    • The harvested follicles are then prepared for transplantation by separating them into individual grafts containing one to a few hair follicles.

  5. Recipient Site Creation:

    • Tiny incisions are made in the bald or thinning areas of the scalp where the grafts will be implanted. The design and angle of the incisions are crucial for achieving a natural-looking result.

  6. Graft Placement:

    • The prepared grafts are carefully placed into the recipient sites. The surgeon pays attention to the natural direction, angle, and density of hair growth.

  7. Post-Transplant Care:

    • After the procedure, patients are given instructions on post-operative care, including how to clean the scalp and manage any discomfort.
    • Healing and recovery times vary, but patients are typically able to resume normal activities within a few days to a week.

  8. Results:

    • The transplanted hair follicles enter a resting phase before new hair starts to grow. Patients usually see noticeable results several months after the procedure, with continued improvement over the next 6 to 12 months.
Hair transplantation is generally considered a safe and effective long-term solution for hair loss. However, individual results can vary, and it’s important to have realistic expectations. Consulting with a qualified hair transplant surgeon is crucial to determine the most suitable approach and to ensure a successful outcome.
