What is Hair Transplantation?

Hair transplantation- a quick and easy way to treat any type hair loss problem. It is a surgical procedure that aims to restore a person's lost hair due to reasons such as male baldness, trauma, burns, and surgery. In this treatment, hair follicles are taken out of the hair growing scalp on the back and side of the head and then transferred and planted again on the barren areas. There are two types of hair transplant treatment viz., FUE (Follicular unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation). Based up on the density and thickness of your hair, you can make the choice on which type to undergo.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction):

FUE is a no-stitch technique in which grafted follicular units are implanted in the balding area, that gives the best result in terms of hair density gained and reduces possibility of scars. This method is especially useful in cases of pattern baldness which is technically known as androgenic alopecia. The FUE hair transplant surgery is performed under the supervision of professional hair transplant specialist by giving anaesthesia. The surgeon begins by extracting follicular units out of donor area. Those taken grafts are kept in a holding solution till the time recipient area is prepared. The last step consists of implantation of these extracted follicles to create the hairline as per consultation instructed by patient. This procedure is less painful compared to earlier transplant treatments and they tend to produce more advantages also.
