What is Hair Transplant?
Hair transplant is a process of surgically removing healthy hair follicles from one part of the body and transplanting them onto bald or thinning areas. It is recognized as a safe and permanent solution for male and female pattern baldness, as well as hair loss from medical conditions, such as alopecia and trauma.
The Hair Transplant Process
The hair transplant process begins with an initial consultation where the treating physician will evaluate the patient’s existing hair pattern and discuss the desired goals for the transplant. The hair transplant doctor will then develop a treatment plan suited to the individual patient.
Types of Hair Transplant
There are two main types of hair transplant methods- FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction).
- FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) -This method involves removing a strip of hair-bearing tissue from the donor site and dissecting the strip into individual grafts. The grafts are then transplanted into the balding areas of the scalp.
- FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)– This method involves extracting individual follicular units from the donor site and transplanting them into the balding areas. There are no linear incisions made as with FUT, which results in minimal scarring.
