What are the different types of Hair Transplant procedures?

Hair Harvesting: Hair transplantation is done under local anesthesia and mild sedation. There are two common techniques for hair transplantation:

1. FUE Follicular Unit Extraction

2. Strip Harvesting

FUE: This is the latest technique for hair transplantation. In this method, the hair is extracted as well as transplanted as individual follicular units. The patient is asked to lie in a face-down position and required the number of the hair is extracted. No sutures are used. Recovery is very fast and the person can resume normal activity in a few days.

STRIP Harvesting: Here we take a strip of hair-bearing skin about 1 cm wide from the permanent zone. This is then dissected into individual follicular units under magnification.

Implantation: The method used to introduce hair in the bald areas is the same in both the techniques. First, the hairline is marked and then holes are made to accommodate the follicular units, which are then inserted as traumatically as possible.
