What is hair transplant?
Hair fall or baldness is a common and rapidly growing problem now. This is because of heredity, pollution, stress and tension. Earlier people adopt techniques of using different types of gels and oils for hair growth. Many medicines came into market to get rid of baldness but nothing worked perfectly. But hair transplant is a permanent and guaranteed method for this problem to grow new hair on bald scalp and give you a new look. Basically hair transplant is a minor surgery which is performed after thoroughly studying the case of the patient.Hair transplant method and procedure
In this surgical technique the hair follicles from a part of the body are moved to the bald area of head. The part from which the hairs are moved is called 'donor site' and the area where these hair are implanted is called 'recipient site'. Generally this treatment is given to treat the baldness in male. This technique is even used in re-establishing eyelashes or eyebrows, chest hair, beard hair and to hide the scars caused by accidents or surgery. Grafting hair in bald scalp
In this procedure grafts or attachments which contain hair follicles are transplanted to bald scalp. Normally many small grafts are relocated rather than a single big band of skin. Depending upon the area or coverage of the procedure, approximately 4 to 8 hours are required to complete the transplantation. In rare cases many sessions are required to complete the process if the hair loss is continued after the treatment also. If the patient demands for thicker hair then also the transplantation process is prolonged. Types of hair transplantation
Generally there are two methods of hair transplantation that is FUE and FUT method. FUT method is strip method and the FUE is stitch less method of transplantation. Actually the scars in FUE are very tiny and very easy to hide.
After the surgery the scalp may get tenderness and so surgical dressing or bandage is applied on scalp for nearly 2 days. The donor area is covered with absorbable stitches. The tiresome physical activities like swimming, sports, gym exercises are restricted for 15 days.Hair growth - how long does it take to grow?
Generally the hairs which are transplanted shed within 1 or 1 ½ months and the roots which are transplanted start growing new hair between 3 to 7 months. If you want to see a complete improvement after the treatment then you can see it nearly after the transplanting process. The hair transplant surgery is very less painful as the local anesthesia is provided. The patient gets discharge from the hospital on the same day. Some pain killers are suggested to reduce the pain of the stitches. But now with improved technology the stitch less transplantation is also available. Cost of hair transplant in India
