What is hair transplantation?
Hair Transplantation is a technique of growing natural hair at the part of body where hair loss has caused the baldness or decrease in the density of hair. Basically we take hair from where you have less need and put it where you need it more. This technique of hair re-growth is proven only permanent way of hair restoration. In this technique persons own hair from the back of head and sides of the head or from other part of body like beard, chest (by FUE) are extracted with root and are implanted on required place where hair is completely lost or hair have become thin due to hair loss. A good hair transplant requires an aesthetical redistribution of hair roots so that it gives an appearance of naturally growing hair. With our advanced 3rd generation microsurgical FUE technique the results have very natural appearance.
How techniques of hair transplant, i, e. FUE & Strip method (FUT) differs and which one is better?
Both techniques differs in extraction of hair roots/grafts from the donor site, in FUT (Strip Technique) whole strip of hair bearing skin is removed and then hair grafts are extracted and defect sutured back using stitches whereas in FUE individual follicles are extracted one by one. The use of STRIP technique is very limited as only that hair which is removed in the strip from back of head or sides of head can be used for transplant. The Grade of baldness up to Vth strip technique can fulfill the requirement. And also it leaves mark on back of head, not situated for those who keep their hair short or shave it as a scar is left at donor site. Whereas FUE technique can be performed in all condition of baldness. It is most useful for people who keep their hair small or shave their head or have tendency of hypertrophic scars because they will not have any visible scars (as they are microscopic).
This is the only method by which adequate cover can be given for Grade VI-VII as the hair can be extracted from the head as well as from the body part like beard, chest or even from pubic area, in multiple sittings.
It is also the preferred technique for eyebrow or moustache transplant or in patients having tight skin. It is ideal for revision or repaired cases i.e. those who have already undergone surgery by STRIP method. Multiple sittings can be given on consecutive days or later on to give “add-on” hair.
When can one see the final results?
The hair starts re-growing after 3-5 months following procedure from transplanted follicles. The transplanted hair grows in very thin initially and gradually grows thicker and fuller with passing of time. Full growth is usually appreciable after 10-12 months which grows for a life time.
