Hair Transplant
What Is Hair Transplant ?
Alopecia, also known as hair loss, can present as either a temporary or permanent condition, affecting the scalp or various regions of the body. Factors such as genetic predisposition, hormonal fluctuations, illnesses, or the natural aging process can trigger scalp hair loss. The human scalp typically houses between 100,000 and 150,000 hairs, and shedding 50 to 100 hair strands daily is considered normal. The life of hair follows a continuous four-phase cycle, involving growth and relaxation.
Hair loss, commonly referred to as baldness, can affect both men and women, marked by a significant reduction in scalp hair. The primary contributor to baldness is often hereditary factors. Before initiating any treatments aimed at promoting hair growth, it is crucial for a dermatologist or trichologist to accurately identify the specific type of hair loss and its underlying cause.
Hair Transplantation
Hair transplantation involves a surgical approach where hair is taken from a donor-rich area of the body and strategically implanted onto bald patches. Usually, the surgeon extracts hair from the back or sides of the head and places it in the front or top regions.

How can it be treated?
Effective management of hair loss involves early diagnosis and prompt intervention. Dermatologists often prescribe oral antiandrogens and topical minoxidil, which have shown significant success in promoting hair regrowth. Additionally, surgical treatments, such as hair transplantation, can be recommended for specific types of hair loss in women. Discover the options available for curbing hair loss and encouraging regrowth through timely interventions.
What are the different techniques for hair transplant?
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT):
- Procedure: In FUT, a strip of skin containing hair follicles is surgically removed from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp).
- Harvesting: The strip is dissected into individual follicular units under a microscope.
- Transplantation: These follicular units are then transplanted into the recipient area, where hair loss has occurred.
- Advantages: FUT can yield a high number of grafts in a single session, making it suitable for extensive hair loss cases.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE):
- Procedure: FUE involves the extraction of individual follicular units directly from the donor area using a small, circular punch tool.
- Harvesting: The extracted follicles are then individually prepared for transplantation.
- Transplantation: The prepared follicular units are implanted into the recipient area.
- Advantages: FUE leaves minimal scarring, and the recovery time is often faster compared to FUT. It is suitable for those who prefer a less invasive procedure.
Direct Hair Implantation (DHI):
- Procedure: DHI is a modified version of FUE where the extraction and implantation of hair follicles occur simultaneously using a special tool called a Choi Implanter Pen.
- Advantages: DHI can provide more precise control over the depth, direction, and angle of hair implantation, potentially leading to a more natural-looking result.
Robotic Hair Transplantation:
- Procedure: Some clinics use robotic assistance to perform FUE. The robotic system helps in the extraction phase, making it more precise and less dependent on the skill of the surgeon.
- Advantages: Robotic systems can enhance the accuracy and speed of follicle extraction, potentially reducing human error.
