Hair transplant surgery is a popular and effective solution for hair loss. It involves moving hair follicles from one part of the body (usually the back of the head) to the balding or thinning areas. Here's a look at the different types of hair transplant procedures:
Procedure: Also known as the strip method, FUT involves removing a strip of skin with hair follicles from the back of the head. The strip is then divided into individual follicular units, which are transplanted to the thinning or balding areas.
Advantages: Can transplant a large number of grafts in one session, making it suitable for extensive hair loss.
Disadvantages: Leaves a linear scar at the donor site, requires more recovery time.
Procedure: FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles directly from the donor area using a small punch tool. These follicles are then transplanted to the balding or thinning areas.
Advantages: Minimally invasive, no linear scar, faster recovery time, and less discomfort.
Disadvantages: Can be time-consuming, usually more expensive than FUT, and may require multiple sessions for extensive hair loss.
Procedure: DHI is a modified version of FUE. In this method, the extracted hair follicles are implanted directly into the thinning area using a specialized tool called a Choi pen. This tool allows for more precise implantation without the need for creating recipient sites beforehand.
Advantages: Higher precision, less trauma to the scalp, faster recovery, and better survival rate of hair follicles.
Disadvantages: Generally more expensive, requires highly skilled surgeons, and can be time-consuming.
Procedure: This method uses advanced robotic systems to assist with the extraction and implantation of hair follicles. The robot provides high precision and can reduce the duration of the procedure.
Advantages: Increased precision, consistency, and potentially faster procedure times.
Disadvantages: High cost, requires specialized equipment, and not widely available.
Procedure: Although not a hair transplant method, PRP therapy is often used in conjunction with hair transplants. It involves injecting platelet-rich plasma from the patient's blood into the scalp to stimulate hair growth and improve the health of transplanted follicles.
Advantages: Enhances healing and hair growth, can be used alongside other hair restoration methods.
Disadvantages: Requires multiple sessions, results can vary.
Hair transplant surgery is typically considered for individuals experiencing significant hair loss. Common symptoms include:
While hair transplant surgery is generally safe, some risk factors include:

Immediate Care:
Medication: Pain relief and antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent infection.
Activity Restrictions: Avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks. Do not expose the scalp to direct sunlight.
Hair Care: Gentle hair washing as advised by your surgeon. Avoid using harsh hair products for a few weeks.
