Hair loss is something all of us are dealing with at some level or another. For those with significant hair loss, hair transplantation can be a great, scientifically advanced, effective solution.

What is Hair Transplantation?

Hair transplantation is a surgical method for restoring hair to areas where it's thinning or absent. It involves moving hair follicles from areas with dense hair growth (often the back or sides of the scalp) to areas experiencing hair loss. Hair transplant surgery offers a long-term solution, as transplanted hair is often genetically resistant to shedding.

There are two main types of hair transplant techniques:

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): Also known as the “strip method,” this approach involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area, extracting individual hair follicles from it, and then implanting them into the thinning or bald areas. FUT can offer a large number of grafts in a single session but may leave a linear scar.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): In FUE, individual hair follicles are extracted directly from the donor area and transplanted to the target area. This method is minimally invasive and leaves tiny, nearly invisible scars, making it a popular choice.

If you are generally healthy, have no significant underlying medical conditions, and have enough donor hair, you might be the perfect candidate for a hair transplantation.

Hair transplantation is usually spaced out over multiple consultation and procedure sessions. The whole process might take a few weeks with recovery taking about 6-12 months.
