Hair Transplant

Hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves transferring hair follicles from one part of the body (donor site) to a bald or thinning area (recipient site). There are two main techniques: Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). FUT involves removing a strip of scalp and dissecting it into individual grafts, while FUE involves extracting individual follicles directly from the scalp.

Who is a good candidate for the treatment?

  • Individuals with significant hair loss or thinning hair.
  • Those with a sufficient supply of donor hair (typically from the back or sides of the scalp).
  • People with realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure.

What to expect during the treatment?

Consultation

A thorough consultation with a hair transplant surgeon to assess hair loss, donor hair supply, and discuss the desired outcome.

Preparation

The scalp is cleansed and numbed with local anesthesia. The donor area is prepared, and hair follicles are harvested using either FUT or FUE technique.

Procedure

The harvested follicles are then implanted into the recipient area. This process involves making tiny incisions and placing the grafts carefully to ensure natural hair growth patterns.

Number of sessions typically required for Optimal Results

Initial Treatment

Usually, one session is sufficient, but additional sessions may be needed for extensive hair loss or desired density.

Pain level and any discomform associated with the procedure

Pain Level

The procedure involves local anesthesia, so discomfort during the procedure is minimal. Post-procedure soreness or discomfort can occur.

Pain Management

Pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications are prescribed to manage any post-procedure discomfort.

Pre-Treatment Guidelines

  • Avoid smoking and alcohol for a few days before the procedure.
  • Refrain from taking blood thinners or anti-inflammatory medications a week before the surgery.
  • Wash your hair thoroughly on the day of the surgery with a mild shampoo.

Post-Treatment Care Instructions

  • Keep the scalp dry and avoid washing the hair for the first 48 hours.
  • Follow specific washing instructions provided by the surgeon after the initial 48 hours.
  • Avoid strenuous activities and direct sun exposure for a few weeks.
  • Do not pick or scratch the transplanted area.
  • Sleep with your head elevated for a few days to reduce swelling.

SIDE EFFECTS

  • Swelling and redness in the treated area, which typically resolves within a few days.
  • Temporary scabbing and crusting at the graft sites.
  • Itching and discomfort in the donor and recipient areas.
