What is a Hair Transplant?

In a hair transplant, the surgeon takes hair bulbs from another area of the scalp (donor site) and inserts them into areas of alopecia/effluvium on the scalp (recipient site). This method is also widely used for hair loss due to traumatic alopecia, alopecia areata, vertex alopecia, etc.

Why is a Hair Transplant Needed?

Hair transplants are chosen for several reasons, including:

  • Permanent Hair Restoration: A long-term solution to baldness and thinning hair.
  • Improved Appearance: Restores a fuller hairline and boosts confidence.
  • Natural-Looking Results: High tech, providing natural integration between transplanted hair and native hair.
  • Non-Medical Reasons: Furthermore, you can use photobiomodulation (cryotherapy) techniques for facial hair augmentation such as beards, mustaches, and eyebrows.

Types of Hair Transplant Techniques

  • FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation):
  • Hair follicles are separated at the donor area and strip; the scalp strip is jettisoned, and hair follicles are also separated and transplanted.
  • Suitable for covering larger bald areas.
  1. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): 
  • A scarless transplant is achieved because each hair follicle is excised and transplanted individually.
  • Popular for its quicker recovery and natural results.
  1. DHI (Direct Hair Implantation): 
  • A high-premium follicular unit extraction procedure with miniaturized hairs in situ implanted using a new applicator device.
  • Ensures precise placement and high graft survival rates.
  1. Robotic Hair Transplant: 
  • Robotic follicle extraction and implantation technology provides precision as well as decreased downtime.

Procedure Steps

  1. Consultation and Planning: 
  • The surgeon examines the patient’s scalp, explains the procedure, and decides the size of grafts to implant.
  1. Preparation:
  • The surgical team shaves donor and recipient hair at the donor and recipient site and prepares it for surgical intervention.
  1. Anesthesia:
  • They applies local anesthesia to numb the scalp.
  1. Follicle Extraction:
  • Follicles of hair are harvested using the procedures FUP or FUE.
  1. Recipient Area Preparation: 
  • Surgeons perform a needle puncture of the scalp or the alopecia area and introduce a small needle under the scalp for follicular implantation.
  1. Implantation:
  • Hair follicles are fitted accurately into the margins to create the feeling of a natural shape.
  1. Post-Procedure Care:
  • Postoperative and recovery management is explained to the patient and the scalp is shaven.

Benefits of Hair Transplant

  • Permanent Results: Transplanted hair grows naturally and lasts a lifetime.
  • Natural Appearance: Advanced techniques ensure realistic hair growth.
  • Boosts Confidence: Restores a youthful appearance and self-esteem.
  • Low Maintenance: Transplanted hair requires no special care beyond normal grooming.
  • Safe Procedure: Minimal risks when performed by experienced surgeons.

Cost of Hair Transplant

  • United States: $4,000 – $15,000 
  • United Kingdom: $5,000 – $12,000 
  • Thailand: $2,000 – $4,000 
  • India: $1,000 – $3,000 

Best Hospitals in India for Hair Transplant

India is also a country where highly skilled surgeons and advanced technology are available for the provision of hair transplant centers. Notable options include:

  • Metro Hospital Faridabad provides the latest hair transplantation technique with a high level of satisfaction to the patients.
  • DHI Clinics (Delhi): Authority in direct hair implantation using the latest technology.
  • Max Healthcare (Delhi) is a name that is synonymous with the excellence and equipment of its people.

Risks and Complications

While hair transplants are generally safe, some risks include:

  • Infection: Rare with proper hygiene and aftercare.
  • Swelling and Redness: Temporary and resolves within a few days.
  • Scarring: FUT can cause linear scars, while FUE can cause scar-decreasing effects.
  • Shock Loss: Transplanted hair initially may shed, but it eventually regrows.
  • Uneven Growth: Some areas may require touch-ups for uniform density.

Recovery

Recovery times vary depending on the technique used:

  • First Week: Scabbing and redness may appear around the grafted area. Avoid touching or washing the scalp excessively.
  • 2-4 Weeks: However, the transplanted hair sheds as well, which is inevitable and a natural phenomenon linked to the growth cycle.
  • 3-6 Months: New hair growth becomes noticeable.
  • 12 Months: Full results are visible, with thicker, natural-looking hair.
