Why hair transplant?

The simple and sophisticated surgery involves the extraction of healthy follicles from your head and then transplanting it in the bald region.

The surgery is painless and does not even involve extensive anesthesia. The process is quite long but effective. The services of Hair Transplant by eminent hair specialists will be the most promising venture that any cosmetic product cannot provide.

The surgery will bring uniformity of distribution of hair on your head which was not present before. The supervision of the experts will design the surgical process in such a way that the new transplantation density is matched with the existing ones. The overall distribution of the follicles will be evened. When the new hairs will grow and match the length of the existing ones, the positive outcome of the surgery will be visible.

The best part of the hair transplant is that the hair will be extracted from the same individual going for the surgery. In this case, there will be no chance of allergic reactions or incompatibility issues. The mechanism is natural and does not involve any artificial element. The entire process is absolutely safe and highly promising. As per research, the back portion of the head tends to lose hairs very less which depicts that the follicles are stronger in that portion. Those healthy ad stronger follicles are extracted and transplanted in the bald regions one by one. Eventually, the entire barren area is covered and the follicles start to grow hairs by getting proper nutrition from the body.

Different Types of Procedures available today:

There are 2 techniques – FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) and FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction).
FUT is a highly surgical process where a strip of skin is cut from the back of head, to harvest hairs.
FUE (pioneered by DHI Group in 2002) is an extraction technique in which follicles are extracted one-by-one without much scarring.
Direct Hair Implantation is by far the most superior version of FUE with high-precision instruments, least graft handling and tight protocols. 37% of DHI cases are repair cases.
Although outdated, 44% of all doctors still perform FUT, with most FUT surgeries being conducted in developing markets such as Asia.
Just 20% of all FUE surgeries are done by hand as 80% doctors prefer using motorized punches or robotics for extraction leading to damaged donor areas and poor results.
Just 58% of patients globally achieved desired results.
Untrained Assistants perform sessions instead of Doctors. 60% procedures are performed by 3-5 Assistants/ Technicians.
Severely low graft survival: 40% - 60%.
Unnatural results: no control on direction, angle and depth of implanted hair.
Very limited focus on artistic aspects.

Final Take: You can stop hair loss with minimal invasive treatment. However, certain procedures such as hair transplants can help reduce the appearance of baldness of Norwood scale from 2-6. Talk to your family doctor, dermatologist to explore all your options to stop hair loss in the long run.
