What is hair transplantation
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure used to restore hair in areas of thinning or baldness.
Essentially, it involves relocating hair follicles from the donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, to the areas where hair is sparse or absent the recipient site.
Here are the general steps:
The operation is usually performed on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia, sedation
The most 2 common methods are :
∆Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is one of the newest techniques of hair transplantation and is considered a variation of the FUE method.
In this method, the hair follicles are taken from the donor area and placed directly into the transplant area with the help of a special pen called the Choi Implanter Pen.
∆Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) :
Individual hair follicles (follicular units) are extracted one by one directly from the donor area using a micro-punch tool.
These individual grafts are then implanted into the recipient area.
This method is less invasive and avoids a linear scar, instead leaving tiny, dot-like scars.
Result:
Once the transplanted follicles heal, they should continue to grow hair naturally in their new location, providing a long-lasting solution to hair loss.
