What is a hair transplant?
Hair transplantation is one of the most common methods of treating hair loss in men and women. It takes the health of the hair follicles and transports them to areas of thinning or lost hair. Your body does the rest. Reacts to these healthy follicles by producing more hair in your target areas. When performed by a specialist, you will see impressive results.
Having thick, healthy hair is something that both men and women are looking for. There are two methods for hair transplants:
- Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
- Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
How many hairs can be transplanted
The grafts are then transplanted into small puncture sites in the recipient areas where they are carefully placed in orientation, angle and number. The average hair transplant surgery consists of about 1,500 transplants and lasts from three to four hours.
After surgery, your scalp and hair will be washed and dried and you will be given antibiotics and pain medication, although most discomfort will go away within 24 hours.
What is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)?
The FUE includes a doctor who makes tiny openings in the area of your scalp donor. From these openings, the doctor removes the follicular units. This method can cause scarring, but it is less visible than the FUT method. These healthy follicles are going to serve as the basis for your renewed scalp.
After the doctor removes the follicles from the scalp collection area, they are then transplanted into the tiny openings in the bald part of your head. Each case is specifically placed in a target area to optimize your results and create a natural look.
The FUE method is usually completed within one year. After the one year mark, you can start making regular cuts. You will also be able to stop taking the necessary vitamin supplements, volume shampoos and other hair loss products that are recommended during this period.
Recovery
The recovery period is short and you should return to your daily activities in a short time. The results will not be immediate as the scalp must recover after surgery. Remember, it is normal for transplanted hair to fall out. This simply means that it is time for the follicles to start producing new hair on their own.
In the beginning, your scalp will be tender. And you may need to take some prescription pain medication for the first few days. If you have any questions during this period, we are here to answer all your questions. Our goal is to provide a comfortable and up-to-date experience.
The initial treatment period lasts a few days. And the results start to become more visible within a few months.
To find the best hair transplant surgeon, it is important to determine the cause and extent of hair loss, which makes it the most important factor in deciding on the type of hair restoration you should follow.
Hair transplants today can look very natural when performed by an experienced surgeon using both the Strip method and the FUE method. In addition to the preferred hair transplant methods, there are other lesser known options, such as the use of biopsies and bioplasms.
Hair transplantation involves a cycle of hair growth during the recovery phase and the transplanted hair can bounce after several months if the hair grows back during this cycle. In hair transplantation, the active hair follicles are removed from the donor area of the scalp and implanted at the site where the scalp is thinned or bald. You should consult to see if you meet the criteria for a FUE hair transplant or if a different option best suits your hair type.

Why Consider a Hair Transplant?
For men and women, healthy and beautiful hair plays a big role in identity and self-esteem. According to a 2007 study, less than 45% of women have their entire head of hair in their lifetime. In addition, a report by the National Institute of Health and Excellence Care found that male pattern baldness affects one-third of Caucasian men under the age of 30. Unsurprisingly, hair restoration procedures have increased by 60% since 2014, according to the International Society hair restoration surgery.
Hair loss can be an emotionally devastating experience for many of us. However, there are options available – such as hair transplants – that can restore your appearance. And while there are many hair transplant treatments offered by medical professionals, FUE hair transplants undoubtedly provide the most natural and long-lasting results for patients with hair loss.
