What is a Hair Transplant? 

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that relocates hair from areas of the scalp with hair to spots where the hair is thinning or completely gone. This is often sought by people who have already attempted other methods to address Hair loss. The procedure is carried out by dermatologists (medical professionals specializing in skin) or plastic surgeons (experts in reconstructive surgeries) skilled in this field.

Type of the technique: 

The treatment can be done by using the FUE (Follicular unit extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) hair transplant techniques which are commonly used. These are described as:

• FUT hair transplant: 

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) involves surgically removing a strip of scalp with hair follicles from a donor area and implanting it into areas with hair loss. After trimming and cleansing the donor area and administering local anesthesia, the strip is dissected into individual follicular units and injected into recipient sites. While FUT allows for transplanting many grafts in one session, it leaves a linear scar in the donor area, which may be a concern for those preferring shorter hairstyles.

• FUE hair transplant: 

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive hair restoration technique where hair follicles are individually extracted from a donor area, usually the back or sides of the scalp, and transplanted to areas experiencing hair loss. The process starts with trimming the donor site and applying local anesthesia to both the donor and recipient areas for pain management. A small, circular tool is then used to carefully remove each hair follicle from the donor region. These follicles are meticulously prepared and then implanted into the thinning or bald areas, providing a natural appearance without leaving a noticeable linear scar, unlike older methods such as Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT).

• Robotic hair transplant: 

It uses robotic machines that assist surgeons in locating donor site harvesting and transplantation of hair follicles. The robot contains a camera and tools that can locate and obtain individual hair follicles from the donor area to the injected area. These donor follicles promote new hairs. The robotic system is used to increase the accuracy by locating precisely donor follicles which reduces the chances of trauma to the scalp and human risk error.

Results:

Hair transplantation is a safe process that has less risk and more success ratio, the succession rate is 90-94%. It is a secure process when performed by highly skilled and experienced surgeons. After the surgery, one cannot be bald ever again which makes this procedure effective. It takes a minimum time of 6 months to 12 months for the total results of hair transplantation.

Different types of procedures: 

The different types of procedures are used such as FUE, FUT, and robotic hair transplant: 

The procedure of FUE hair transplant: 

• This involves shaving hair on the sides of the head to extract the hair follicles from the scalp. Each follicle will leave a little mark when it is extracted. 
• The doctor next makes tiny holes in the region where hair is needed and then transplants hair follicles into those incisions. They next use dressings or linen to cover the wound site.

The procedure of FUT hair transplant: 

• The surgeon extracts a strip of scalp, generally from the sides of the head, or the back with a scalpel that is 6 to 10 inches in length.
• Each chunk contains 4 to 5 hair follicles.  The doctor next prepares the recipient area and inserts the prepared follicles into the scalp. They will then use dressings to treat the surgery wounds.

The procedure of the robotic hair transplant: 

• This is a very advanced technique that uses special machinery to take out the individual hair follicles from the donor area.
• This method’s precision is much higher than the other two manual techniques as in those there is a chance of human error. 
• Artificial intelligence is used to create natural-looking results by first creating a 3D model of the patient.

Day 1	The targeted area will appear dark red
Day 10	The treatment area is crusted, swollen, and brownish
Day 15	Scabs begin to fall off & redness fades

Step-by-step procedure: 

A hair transplant is an invasive process that permanently solves hair loss. 

1. The scalp of the patient is numbed by using general or local anesthesia as required. The doctor may apply general anesthesia if necessary and the applied anesthesia will minimize the pain during the surgery. 
2. The follicles will be collected from the back of the scalp which is the donor area.
3. Then these collected follicles are placed into a device. 
4. The hair follicles are inserted into the scalp of the patient by using the device.
5. Every follicle of your hair is inserted with extreme care to avoid any complications after the treatment and to maximize the results from the treatment.

• Wash your scalp gently.
• Keep the scalp clean and moisturized.
