Hair Transplantation

Hair Transplantation

 Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves moving hair follicles from one part of the body (usually the back or sides of the scalp, which are called the "donor area") to the balding or thinning areas of the scalp (called the "recipient area"). The goal of hair transplantation is to restore hair growth in areas where hair loss or thinning has occurred. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and involves making tiny incisions in the recipient area, where the hair follicles are transplanted

Types of Hair Transplantation

There are two main methods of hair transplant:

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): In this method, a strip of hair-bearing skin is removed from the back or sides of the scalp, and the hair follicles are dissected from the strip under a microscope. The individual follicles are then transplanted into the recipient area.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): In this method, individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area using a small punch device, and then transplanted into the recipient area.

Both FUT and FUE are effective methods of hair transplant, and the choice of method depends on the individual's needs and the surgeon's recommendation.
