Hair Transplant
Hair transplant is a surgical procedure to restore hair in areas affected by thinning or baldness.
Healthy hair follicles are harvested from donor regions and carefully implanted in balding areas to achieve natural density and growth.
This procedure not only improves appearance but also boosts confidence, using advanced techniques that ensure minimal scarring and long-lasting results.
Overview And Clinical Background
Hair transplant involves moving hair follicles from dense areas (donor site) to thinning or bald areas (recipient site).
Modern methods such as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) allow precision placement and natural hairline design.
It addresses androgenetic alopecia, trauma-related hair loss, or scarring alopecia effectively.
- Techniques: FUE involves extracting individual follicles; FUT uses a strip of scalp for harvesting multiple grafts.
- Suitable for both men and women experiencing hair thinning or baldness.
- Goal: Restore natural hair growth with proper density, direction, and pattern.
Symptoms, Signs And Presentation
Candidates typically present with gradual thinning hair, receding hairlines, or bald patches.
Pattern and extent of hair loss guide the transplant strategy.
- Common signs: Receding hairline, crown thinning, or patchy baldness.
- Reduced hair density affecting appearance and self-esteem.
- Red flag: Active scalp infection or uncontrolled medical conditions that may hinder healing.
Diagnosis Methods And Investigations
Scalp Assessment And Medical Evaluation
Thorough scalp examination evaluates donor hair density, hair quality, and scalp health.
Blood tests assess overall health and rule out conditions that may interfere with growth.
- Scalp mapping: Determines optimal donor and recipient zones for natural results.
- Blood tests: Check for anemia, hormonal imbalances, and infection risk.
- Photographic documentation helps track progress post-surgery.
Treatment Options And Surgical Techniques
Hair transplantation is done under local anesthesia.
Follicles are harvested and implanted with meticulous attention to angle, density, and direction.
- Conservative: Medications like minoxidil or finasteride may slow hair loss but cannot restore significant bald areas.
- Minimally invasive: FUE technique allows individual follicle transfer with minimal scarring.
- FUT provides larger grafts when multiple follicular units are required, particularly in advanced baldness.
Recovery, Risks And Prognosis
Healing includes mild redness, swelling, or scabs at donor and recipient sites for a few days.
Hair growth starts at 3–4 months, with full results visible at 9–12 months.
Complications are rare but include infection, poor graft survival, or temporary shock loss.
