How Hair Transplantation Works

1. Consultation:

o Initial assessment to discuss your hair loss pattern, medical history, and treatment goals.

o The specialist may recommend the most suitable technique based on individual needs.

2. Techniques:

o Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE):

 Individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (usually the back of the scalp) using a small punch tool.

 These follicles are then implanted in the thinning or balding areas.

 Benefits include minimal scarring and a quicker recovery time.

o Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT):

 A strip of scalp is removed from the donor area, and hair follicles are dissected and transplanted.

 This method may leave a linear scar but can be more suitable for patients needing larger grafts.

3. Procedure:

o Performed under local anesthesia, the process can take several hours.

o Patients can usually go home the same day.

4. Recovery:

o Post-operative care instructions are provided, including how to care for the scalp and when to resume normal activities.

o Mild swelling or discomfort is common but usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.

5. Results:

o New hair growth typically starts within a few months.

o Full results may take 6-12 months to appear, as hair goes through natural growth cycles.

Benefits of Hair Transplantation

• Natural-Looking Results: When done by skilled professionals, the results can be very natural and undetectable.

• Permanent Solution: Transplanted hair is typically resistant to balding, offering a long-term solution to hair loss.

• Increased Confidence: Many patients report improved self-esteem and satisfaction with their appearance.
