Hair Transplantation
Hair transplantation is a modern medical procedure that offers a permanent solution for areas affected by hair loss. Using advanced techniques like FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), healthy hair follicles are taken from areas with dense hair growth (usually the back or sides of the head) and transplanted to thinning or balding areas.
This minimally invasive treatment delivers natural-looking results. areas affected by hair loss.
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Preparation and graft processing: On the day of the procedure, the donor area (typically the back of the scalp) is trimmed to about 2 mm (1/12 inch). Under local anesthesia, micro-surgical punch tools ranging from 0.7 to 0.9 mm are used to excise follicles with precision and minimal transection rate. Extracted grafts are carefully placed in a special solution to preserve their viability until implantation.
- Implantation: Tiny incisions (recipient sites) are made in the recipient area, following the natural angle, direction, and depth of hair growth. This careful planning ensures a natural hairline and balanced density. Implantation is the most delicate part of the procedure and typically takes several hours, depending on the number of grafts.
- Recovery and results: No stitches are needed for the donor area. Post-op care includes applying antibiotic ointment and a healing spray enriched with oxygen and nutrients. Redness or slight swelling may occur, but usually resolves within a few days. Most patients return to daily activities in 5–7 days. The transplanted hair begins to grow noticeably after 3 months, with final results seen after 9–12 months.
Benefits of Hair Transplantation
Hair transplantation using advanced techniques offers natural results. The tiny extraction points heal quickly and are barely noticeable even with short hairstyles. Recovery is fast, with no need for stitches or extended downtime. The procedure is almost painless thanks to local anesthesia, and many patients find the psychological boost from restored hair to be truly life-changing.
The results look completely natural because the angle, direction, and density of each implantation are carefully matched to your existing hair pattern. In cases when more grafts are needed, hair can also be extracted from other areas such as the beard, chest, or abdomen (Body Hair Transplantation – BHT).
Once the transplanted hair has grown in, it requires no special care and can be washed, cut, and styled just like the rest of your hair. The process causes minimal trauma to both the donor area and the harvested grafts, ensuring better healing.
