Hair follicles are surgically moved from one area of the head which is called donor area and placed it in areas where hair is receding or thinning during a hair transplant operation.
Male or female pattern baldness is the most common reason for hair transplant recipients. On the top or front of the head, hair is lost. To have enough hair follicles to relocate, you still need to have thick hair on the sides or back of your head. Clinica Derm are experts at removing hair from beard, chest or other body parts and place it on scalp for better density.
People with burn scar, traumas, or other medical conditions that cause hair loss may receive treatment with hair transplants.
Transplant of Hairlines
Hairline transplant is a term used to describe a hair transplant that restores receding hairlines., the hair at the temples and around the top of your forehead begins to recede if you have a receding hairline. Due to which your hairline starts moving backwards or recedes. Receding hairline is the feature of male pattern baldness, the most typical cause of hair loss in those who have strong genetic history.
Hair Transplant Surgery Types
There are 2 major types of hair transplant. Both procedures are performed in the doctor’s clinic, first, the surgeon cleans the scalp and injects medicine to numb the back side of your head. Your doctor chooses one of two methods of transplant: follicular unit extraction (FUE) or follicular unit transplantation (FUT). The most modern and aesthetic method is FUE and you will be explained about it before the start of surgery.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
In hair transplantation, Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a cutting-edge method. Individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area of the scalp (often the back of the head, where hair is more resistant to balding), and then implanted into the balding areas using FUE, in contrast to earlier techniques. This procedure has gained enormous popularity because of its minimally invasive nature and the natural-looking results it gives.
First, the donor region is numb, and then individual hair follicles are extracted using a precise microsurgical extraction tool. Every follicle, including its required tissues and sebaceous glands, is meticulously extracted. The viability of the follicles is ensured by this painstaking procedure, which is essential for the success of the transplant.
After extraction, the follicles are ready for transplantation. To implant these follicles, small incisions are made in the recipient location. It is guaranteed that the new hair that grows will be in the natural pattern and will blend perfectly into the existing hair, this pure procedure requires a skilled and experienced surgeon.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
For the most severe cases of hair loss, invasive surgery called follicular unit transplantation (FUT) is performed. The goal of this procedure is to divide lengthy donor hair strips into smaller follicular units, which are then implanted into the damaged area.
One of the many established pillars of hair transplant surgery is follicular unit transplantation. Male pattern baldness and androgenetic alopecia are two disorders that respond favourably to this treatment, which is sometimes referred to as the “strip harvesting method.
A little incision is made into the donor site on the back of your head during this surgical operation, which removes a lengthy strip of hair follicles. Your donor hairs are then carefully divided into smaller groupings of individual follicular units (also known as “hair grafts”) under a microscope after this strip is taken. These little follicular units are then inserted into the area that is afflicted.
FUE is the most advanced form of hair transplant and is most commonly done these days. This has faster healing process and less visibility of scars and best possible results.
