A surgical procedure designed to redistribute hair follicles from denser body areas to regions experiencing baldness or thinning. The goal is to stimulate natural hair growth in these areas.
Types of Hair Transplantation Techniques
- Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): It is also known as strip harvesting, this technique involves removing a strip of tissue from the donor area and dividing it into individual hair follicles for transplantation. It is effective but leaves a linear scar.
- Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): A minimally invasive method where a punch-like instrument directly extracts individual hair follicles from the donor area. FUE leaves tiny, almost invisible scars, making it popular among patients.
- Robotic Hair Transplantation: Combines robotic precision with surgical expertise to automate the FUE procedure, potentially reducing surgery time and enhancing efficiency.
Benefits of Hair Transplantation
- Permanent Solution: Provides a lifelong remedy for hair restoration, ensuring enduring results.
- Natural-Looking Results: Transplanted hair grows naturally, seamlessly blending with existing hair for an undetectable appearance.
- Enhanced Self-Confidence: Restoring lost hair can significantly boost self-esteem and improve overall quality of life.
- Low Maintenance: Post-surgery, transplanted hair requires minimal special care; it can be treated like regular hair with regular washing and styling.
Hair Transplantation Procedure
- Consultation and Assessment: The process begins with a consultation to evaluate the hair loss pattern, donor hair availability, and scalp health to determine the best approach.
- Preparing for the Procedure: Typically involves abstaining from blood-thinning medications and alcohol beforehand to minimize risks.
- Anaesthesia: Local anaesthesia ensures comfort during the surgery.
- Graft Extraction: Hair follicles are taken from the donor area using FUT or FUE techniques.
- Graft Placement: The extracted follicles are carefully transplanted into the recipient area.
- Post-Procedure Care: Detailed instructions are provided for caring for the transplanted hair during the healing phase.
