Understanding Hair Transplants

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves moving hair follicles from one part of the body, known as the donor site, to a bald or balding part of the body, known as the recipient site. This procedure is primarily used to treat male pattern baldness but is also effective for women experiencing hair loss.

Types of Hair Transplants

Hair FUE

Subsection 1

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

FUE is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area and transplanted to the recipient area. This method leaves tiny, nearly undetectable scars and has a quicker recovery time compared to other methods.

FUT

Subsection 2

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

FUT, also known as strip surgery, involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area, which is then divided into individual follicular units and transplanted to the recipient area. This method is suitable for patients requiring a large number of grafts.

Who Can Benefit from a Hair Transplant?

Hair transplants can benefit individuals experiencing various types of hair loss, including:

Male Pattern Baldness:  The most common type of hair loss in men, characterized by a receding hairline and thinning at the crown.

Female Pattern Baldness: Thinning hair on the top-central portion of the head, often with a widening part

Trauma or Surgery: Hair loss resulting from burns, accidents, or surgical scars.

Cosmetic Enhancements: Improving the density of eyebrows, beard, or mustache.
