Who can be a candidate for hair transplant?
Anyone who has healthy donor hair and experiences chronic hair loss is an excellent candidate for a hair restoration procedure.
Is medication required before the procedure?
One may choose a hair transplant right away if they are in good health. However, if a person takes a course of hair vitamins and receives Hair Booster Therapy , both the donor and recipient areas get better, which raises the effectiveness of the transplant.
Is there an option for non-surgical Hair Transplant available?
A non-surgical hair transplant does not exist. Grafts are free tissues that are taken from one area of the body and applied to another area so that the recipient area can receive blood supply. To cover balding areas, hair follicle grafts are most typically removed from the rear of the scalp and grafted on the frontal, vault, or temporal parts of hair loss.
Will there be scars after the procedure?
FUE and FUT are the two main hair transplantation techniques. The strip approach is known as FUT, while the scar-free extraction method is known as FUE.
How do these methods differ?
- FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction is a technique that involves directly extracting tiny grafts of hair from the donor area using a pen-like device. The holes that form following the extraction fill in over the course of a few days, becoming nearly invisible to the bare eyes.
- FUT or Follicular Unit Transplantation is a procedure that removes a strip of donor tissue and separates the follicles from the strip for transplantation. By using the “Trichophytic closure” technique, the donor area is carefully stitched, the hair actually develops through the scar.
Which method is suited according to the area of baldness?
A combination of FUE and FUT treatments may be necessary for extensive patches of baldness in order to achieve the best results. The quality of the donor hair will have a significant impact on the outcome of the hair transplant. If the donor hair is thin, it may take more than one hair transplant session to provide sufficient coverage.
What should be the expectation from the first meeting?
A thorough history is taken on first visit, together with information about one’s habits, addictions, and co-morbidities. The estimation of donor and recipient areas. Before the operation is planned, a few blood tests will need to be undertaken.
What to expect during the procedure?
For the graft to be taken from the donor location, the hair will need to be cut shorter. In the FUT procedure, just the strip area may require trimming; once the surrounding tissue is gathered, the overlapping hair conceal the scar immediately after. The surgery is carried with the highest level of sterility and entirely done under local anesthetic.
How is local anesthesia given?
Small scalp injections are used to administer local anesthetic. The anesthetic is continuously supplemented by the team members and hair transplant surgeon to keep the area numb so that the process can be finished painlessly.
How much time will be required for graft harvestation?
The hair grafts from the strips in a FUT procedure takes just about 45 minutes from beginning to end. However, as the grafts in FUE are taken directly from the scalp, the amount of time needed will depend on how many grafts need to be taken and can range from 1 hour to 4 hours. For the graft placement, slits are formed.
Grafts will subsequently be inserted into their incisions after being extracted. To prevent fatigue throughout the procedure, a break is provided in between each step. It is reasonable to anticipate that the process will take between 6 and 8 hours, although this too will depend on the number of grafts that must be done.
Can one return to normal activity after surgery?
Regular day to day activities can be started after a day of the procedure. Bed rest is not necessary however, a few days off work would be beneficial. Some swelling on the forehead and around the eyes that usually subside in 2-3 days time should be expected.
When will the new growth be visible?
The transplanted hair often falls out in two to four weeks, and new hair growth doesn’t show until the third or fourth month. Up until 8 or 9 months, the transplanted hair still shows signs of growth.
