What Is a Hair Transplant?
Often called hair restoration or hair replacement, a hair transplant moves healthy hair to areas of the scalp affected by thinning or baldness.
This treatment is ideal for those who haven’t achieved desired results with non-surgical options. Skilled dermatologists or plastic surgeons blend precision and artistry to revive your natural look.
How Does Hair Transplant Work?
- Donor Site: Healthy hair follicles are carefully harvested from the back or sides of the scalp (where hair is thickest).
- Transplantation: Our expert then transplants these follicles to thinning or bald areas, where they heal and grow naturally over time.
Who Needs Hair Restoration?
Hair transplants address permanent hair loss caused by:
- 🌀 Androgenic Alopecia (hereditary pattern baldness).
- 🌀 Alopecia Areata (autoimmune hair loss).
- 🌀 Trauma or Burns damaging hair follicles.
- 🌀 Hormonal Imbalances (e.g., thyroid issues).
Ideal Candidates:
- ✅ In good overall health.
- ✅ Have realistic expectations.
- ✅ Still possess thick donor hair areas.
Types of Hair Transplant Procedures
- Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
o Process: Individual follicles are extracted and transplanted.
o Benefits: Minimal scarring, no stitches, quick recovery.
- Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
o Process: A strip of scalp is removed, dissected into grafts, and transplanted.
o Benefits: Ideal for large areas; cost-effective.
o Process: Bald skin is removed, and hair-bearing skin is stretched over the area.
o Process: A balloon-like device stretches hair-rich skin to cover bald spots (common for burn patients).
o Process: A section of scalp with hair is lifted and repositioned (for large frontal baldness).
