Hair Transplant… What? How? Why?
What is hair transplant?
Hair transplant is a procedure or medical treatment in which surgeons take hair follicles from one part of the body for a part of the body that is bald. It is a process of providing hair to the bald area of the body. The part of the hair that is taken is called the donor site and the part where it is to be inserted (the bald area) is called the recipient site. It is also known as follicular unit transplant.
How it is done?
• Pre-Operation Planning
First, when you visit a doctor for this procedure, he or she will ask about your preferences and expectations and analyze your scalp. This scheme will help you to know what is the density of the hair coming after the transplant. The doctor will advise you about the do’s and don’ts before the surgery.
FUT Hair Transplant (Follicular Unit Transplantation)
In the FUT transplant procedure, the doctor will remove a certain inch of strip from the back of your head and then stitch up the surrounding area. The area becomes covered with hair.
Next, the doctor team divides the removed scalp strip into five hundred to two thousand tiny grafts, each containing individual hairs or just a few hairs. The amount of graft you will receive depends on the type, quality, color and size of the area where you are getting the transplant.
FUE Hair Transplant (Follicular Unit Extraction)
In the FUE transplant procedure, the hair doctor will first shave your hair from the donor area. Then the doctor will remove the follicles one by one with the help of few punches. The hair doctor then uses very fine tiny blades or fine needles to puncture the sites to receive the grafts, placing them during a predetermined density and pattern, and in a consistent fashion to advance a discernible hair pattern. Heals injuries during Technicians usually do the last part of the procedure, putting the individual grafts in place. This procedure can be done in one long session or in several shorter sessions.

Why is it beneficial over other hair regrowth strategies?
• It is one of the hair restoration procedure which involves transplantation of own hair extracted from the back of the scalp. It grows naturally. The hair color is the same as your original hair. Hair growth usually starts once in two to three months. Hair replacement completes its recovery at an interval of eight to ten months.
• Another good thing about this surgery is that you only get hair that is very manageable. The transplanted hair acts like your naturally grown hair, so you don’t need to apply any special shampoos or chemicals to maintain its density.
• Hair transplant is completely safe and natural. No special chemicals or medicines are used in this method which can harm your hair. Hair transplant surgery is the most natural of all hair growth methods. The results of hair loss treatment are so perceptible that most people will not be able to tell that you have just had a hair transplant.
• It helps to hide the bald spot with its own hair which does not require any maintenance. It improves the assurance and looks of the person. The cost may be high but it is the most effective procedure in the treatment of baldness.
