Hair Transplant

A) What is an hair transplant treatment?

Hair transplant is a sophisticated hair restoration procedure offered at skin care clinics to address hair loss and thinning. This minimally invasive treatment involves plucking hair follicles from areas of dense growth, typically the back or sides of the head and transplanting them to areas with thinning or no hair. The methods applied for this process aim to create a natural looking hairline and increase hair density in affected areas. A dermatologist or plastic surgeon performs the hair transplant procedure using local anesthesia. Hair transplants at skin care clinics offer a permanent solution for many individuals struggling with hair loss, providing them with renewed confidence and a more youthful appearance.

Before the surgery, one may be required to undergo certain blood tests and medical evaluations to ensure fitness for the siad procedure. Your doctor will give you specific instructions on pre-care measures to follow leading up to the surgery. On the day of the surgery, local anesthesia will be administered to numb the scalp area where the hair follicles will be extracted and transplanted. This keeps you comfortable during the entire procedure. The most common method of hair follicle extraction is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT).

In FUE, individual hair follicles are harvested from the donor area (usually the back of the scalp) using a specialized tool. In FUT, a strip of the scalp with hair follicles is harvested and then separated into individual grafts.

Once the hair follicles are extracted, the surgeon will create tiny incisions in the recipient area of the scalp where the hair will be transplanted. The extracted hair follicles are then carefully implanted into these incisions at the correct angle and density to achieve natural looking results.
