Hair loss and premature baldness can affect a person’s psychosocial life. People often opt for temporary, artificial measures like wigs, hair weaving, hair fibers, etc. which not only appear fake and result in social embarrassments, but also further affects the remaining healthy hair on the scalp. Hair transplant is a safe, permanent treatment for baldness and have your own real hair with a natural hairline.
Hair transplant is a procedure where hair follicles are taken from other areas (usually the back of your head) and implanted into the bald and balding areas. Follicular unit extraction (FUE) and Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) are two techniques of hair follicle extraction. The individual hair follicles are separated and meticulously implanted to achieve a natural hairline. The implanted follicles begin to grow hair naturally after 3 to 6 months. Medical therapy and adjuvant treatments help in improving the yield of hair transplants. The transplanted hair has the life of the donor area hair and usually lasts a lifetime.

The hair transplant is an out-patient procedure performed under local anaesthesia and takes approximately 4-8 hours. The scalp needs to be trimmed before the procedure. FUE, FUT, or a combination of techniques is used for harvesting hair follicles, which are separated into groups under a microscope.
Small micro slits are made in the direction of natural hair into which the individual hair follicles are then implanted. A light dressing is given to cover the donor and transplanted region.
It is common to have some amount of crusting and swelling after the procedure. The transplanted area is gently cleansed with normal saline for 2-3 days. A head high position with moist compresses is advised to minimise the swelling.
Avoid strenuous activity for 3-4 days. Avoid exposing your head out in the sun for 2 weeks. Regular shampoo and hair care can be started after 2 weeks.
You are advised to continue medical management. The grafted hair begins to grow after 3-4 months after hair transplantation.
What is the difference between FUE and FUT techniques? Which is better?
FUE method is the most common technique where individual hair follicles are removed with specialised equipment leaving behind almost invisible minuscule dot scars at the donor site. FUT technique removes a strip of skin from which hair follicles are extracted, leaving behind a fine linear scar at the donor site.
In our hands, the donor area scars stay entirely hidden within your hair, with both techniques giving a virtually scarless appearance. The choice of technique depends on the number of hair follicles needed and the experience of the surgeon. When a large number of grafts are required, a combination of techniques is used.
Is hair transplant painful?
Hair transplant is made painless by local anaesthesia. Usually, the only discomfort comes from sitting and undergoing the procedure for 4-8 hours.
When do I expect to see results?
Visible results of hair transplant surgery can be seen 8-10 months after surgery.
When can I resume work and exercises?
Most people resume work and light activities after 10-14 days of surgery.
