Hair Transplant is process of transferring your own hairs from back and side of scalp to bald scalp, in some cases from beard and body also.
Techniques
- FUE (Follicular units Extraction) – individual grafts (hairs emerging in a group) are extracted using a punch, either motorized or manual method.
- FUT- a strip of scalp skin is first cut and then grafts are cut from this skin under microscope.
Now a days FUE is preferred method in most patients.The main advantages of FUE are not leaving a linear donor scar and having a faster healing time. Also, patient can keep short hairs after surgery as no linear scar is visible. FUE is also indicated when there is an increased risk of a widened scar or when scalp laxity (looseness) does not permit a strip excision.
