About Hair Transplant
Hair Transplant is a cosmetic procedure in which the bald area is covered with hair and roots taken from donor sites such as the back of the head, beard, or chest. Hair transplants are usually performed in a medical office while the patient is sedated.
Following Hair Transplant procedures are used for hair loss treatment in India:
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE):
- Individual follicular units are removed one at a time while under local anesthesia.
- The recovery interval is less than 7 times because the punches are generally quite small (0.6-1mm in diameter), so no suturing is required.
- Minimally invasive procedure that is painless
- Body hair may also be transplanted during a FUE procedure.
- However, FUE is a time-consuming procedure that requires only long sessions or several smallish sessions to harvest your hair follicle to a bald location.
FUSS (Follicular Unit Strip Surgery):
- Under local anesthesia, a strip of hair is removed from the donor site, usually the posterior scalp.
- Grafts are placed straight in the strip before being harvested to the hairless area.
- Will leave a visible scar in the donor area, which may be covered by the patient's hair.
- Following the procedure, there will be some pain and tenderness.
- As stitches/staples must be removed, the healing period is slightly longer, around 15 days.
