Key Information About Hair Transplantation

Hair transplantation is a surgical technique in which hair follicles are relocated from a designated donor area of the body to the recipient site on the scalp, where baldness or thinning is evident. This procedure is commonly carried out to address male and female pattern baldness, which is characterized by the gradual thinning of hair or genetic hair loss.

Hair transplant procedures are typically carried out using local anesthesia and conducted by plastic surgeons. It may be necessary to undergo multiple sessions in order to attain the desired outcomes. Various treatment options such as hair replacement, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), and PRFM (Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix) can be administered. The transplanted hair may initially shed following the procedure, but new hair growth will commence within a few months.

Some people require further procedures to maintain their desired hair density. It is important to discuss your specific goals and expectations with a qualified medical provider before undergoing a hair grafting. In this regard, Health International is here with all its support and gladly helps its patients. You can get consultation services to get information about advanced hair transplantation costs and all processes involved before and after hair transplantation.

 

What are Hair Transplantation Methods?

 

There are multiple techniques used in hair transplantation. Depending on the individual needs and general health of the patient, the technique used is determined by a qualified doctor through tests and examinations.

 

  • Follicular unit extraction, FUE : In FUE hair transplantation, individual hair follicles are removed from the donor site using a special instrument and then transplanted into the recipient site. FUE does not leave a linear scar at the donor site.
  • Sapphire FUE : This method involves using a special instrument with sapphire blades to remove individual hair follicles from the donor site. Sapphire blades are more durable and precise than other types of hair transplantation blades, resulting in less trauma to the hair follicles and potentially faster healing.
  • Direct Hair Implantation, DHI : This method uses a special instrument called a DHI implanter to implant individual hair follicles directly into the recipient site. The DHI implanter is a pen-like device with a hollow needle that is used to insert hair follicles into the scalp at a specific angle and depth to mimic natural hair growth.
  • PRP Hair Restoration : PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy is a technique in which a concentration of platelets, growth factors and other substances are injected into the scalp to stimulate hair growth. PRP therapy is sometimes used in conjunction with hair transplantation to enhance the results of the procedure.
  • PRFM Hair Restoration : Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix is a technique that involves injecting a concentration of platelets, growth factors, and other substances into the scalp. PRFM is similar to PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, but it uses a fibrin matrix, a type of protein that promotes the growth of new cells and tissue.

 

Under what Circumstances is a Hair Transplant Performed?

 

As mentioned above, surgical hair restoration procedures are generally used to solve the problem of male and female baldness. It can also be employed to revive hair growth in areas that have suffered injury or scarring due to surgery, or to rectify a receding hairline.

Additionally, hair restoration surgery can be used to treat other conditions. These include traction alopecia, which is hair loss resulting from tight hairstyles like braids or ponytails; alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss on the scalp or other parts of the body; telogen effluvium, a temporary hair loss condition triggered by physical or emotional stress, hormonal changes, or specific medications; and anagen effluvium, a form of hair loss linked to chemotherapy or other medications affecting hair growth.
