Thinning hair or gaps in the hair line can have a strong effect on the person’s self-esteem as hair is one of the most important beauty manifestations in both men and women.
That’s why the hair transplant procedure has become extremely popular and important world wide, giving a magical solution to all hair problems.
What is a hair transplant procedure?
It is a cosmetic procedure in which the surgeon moves hair from one area rich in hair (usually the back of the head) to another one where you’d like to have more hair to bring you back the hair that you’ve lost, give you a better hair-line and all with permanent results!
Before the procedure
First of all, your doctor will choose the best technique for your condition based on the amount of hair loss, the size of the area that should be treated and the density of hair you need. As well as taking into consideration the price you can afford
you might have your head shaved in the donor area; you will go under local anesthesia so you don’t experience any discomfort during the procedure.
The procedure may last 8 hours and this varies based on the used technique and the size of the treated area.
If you wish, an oral sedative can be taken before the procedure to calm your nerves and make you more comfortable for the duration of the surgery.
Steps inside the procedure
Usually, it depends on the technique used. For example:
If you are going for the FUT technique: no hair shaving is required, only the back of the head (the donor site) will be trimmed
The grafts sites will be closed with stitches and this will lead to scars that can be easily hidden.
Whereas in the FUE technique: the back of the head will be shaved then the surgeon moves the hairs one by one which will increase the number of scars but they will be much smaller which means less noticeable
Hair transplant techniques
There are multiple choices when it comes to hair transplant. And choosing the right one depends on the opinion of your specialized doctor based on the amount of hair loss, the size of the area that should be treated and the density of hair you need.
As well as taking into consideration the price you can afford
the concept of this technique is to extract each hair follicle individually from the donor site (usually the back of the head) and plant those grafts in small canals that we already made in the area that we are treating
“FUT” technique (follicular unit transplantation) where he takes a strip(1 to 4 hairs)of hair and transplants it in previously made small cuts in the needed area.
DHI (direct hair implantation) is a new, developed version of “FUE” in which the canals that we make in the recipient area are much smaller due to the specialized pen-shaped tool that is used. This means fewer scars, faster recovery and most importantly the ability to get more density (thicker hair).
In this technique also shaving the hair is not necessary but rather optional.
SAPPHIRE, What characterizes this technique is the sapphire blades it uses to make the canals .This makes the process easier and the incisions more accurate, raising the chances of the success of the procedure.
Robotic hair transplant It is a completely automated hair transplant procedure that utilizes specialized technology and a robotic arm to precisely extract the hair follicles in a faster, more efficient and less expensive way, and implant them into thinning areas on the scalp. It does not require surgery and is considered minimally invasive.
