The Need-to-Knows for Hair Transplant Procedure

Was it the stress or the effects of aging? Or maybe your own genes have left you with a bald spot on your head. Rest easy because hope is on the horizon, or rather in your own skin. Balding is naturally permanent, but your good friend's science and technology are here to save your hair. Now, you can finally stop cursing your ancestors for giving you those bad genes.

Hair follicles are cells that are found under the surface of the skin. These cells are responsible for creating new strands of hair. Usually, a follicle preserves a strand for a duration of 3 months. After this, the hair falls off naturally. But nothing is ever perfect. As time passes, these follicles can get damaged. The hair follicles will stop functioning properly with age, stress, hormonal imbalances, and general skin damage. The hair follicle will shrink and it won’t be able to regrow the hair. Once a hair strand falls off, these damaged follicles won’t replace the lost strand. This is how baldness can take a hold of your head.

Your Saviour is Here!

Modern science has given rise to revolutionary new procedures to help reverse the effects of balding. Once lost follicles could never be restored, but now scientists can regenerate follicles. New follicles can be inserted in place of damaged follicles. Recent advances have created better hair transplantation procedures to make the transplanted hair look natural and minimize scars. With this procedure, your hair can go back to being just the way it was.

Usually, the hair at the back and side of the head are immune to balding. The healthy hair follicles from these areas are transferred onto the balding areas to stimulate hair regrowth. There are two different methods that medical professionals use to transplant hair follicles. This difference has to do with how the hair follicles are collected.

Follicular Unit Transplantation

FUT procedure involves removing a strip of skin. This strip of skin is taken from an area that has healthy follicles. Then, the medical professional will extract individual hair follicles from this strip of tissue. These follicles are inserted into the bald spots so they can start growing new strands of hair.

Follicular Unit Extraction

In this procedure, the doctor uses a precision instrument to make a small incision. These incisions are made on the skin surrounding the hair follicles. Multiple numbers of incisions are made to collect the required amount of hair follicles. These follicles are then transplanted onto the bald area.

You Should Definitely Opt for FUE

Follicular Unit Transplantation is an old hair transplant method. It is done by removing large strips of skin from your head. This can leave visible wounds that will take time to heal. Follicular Unit Extraction for hair transplant is the latest advancement. It’s better than FUT because the hair follicles can be gathered with minimal pain and surgical invasion. FUE involves a more targeted collection of follicles, so better quality grafts can be obtained.

After the transplantation is done, the scalp is given an injection of platelet-rich plasma to stimulate new hair growth. The grafts will be saline washed for a few days. It’s advisable that you use a mild shampoo to wash your hair at this point. New hair will start growing in 3-4 months after the transplantation. Then the hair grows full and thick.

If ordinary medications can’t bring back your hair, you should consider getting a hair transplant.
