Follicular Hair
Transplantation
Follicular hair transplantation is a
surgical procedure in which small plugs of hair-bearing skin
containing 2 to 3 hair each are taken from the back or sides of the
scalp and transferred to the bald area on the head. The area from
which the grafts are taken (donor site) is first treated with a local
anesthesia followed by removal of the desired number of hair grafts.
The area that is to receive the grafts (recipient site) is similarly
treated and the donor grafts are carefully placed into the prepared
area in a pattern that matches the direction of the original hair. The
transplants are spaced in such a way as to allow each to receive an
adequate blood supply during the healing process. The procedure lasts
for 2 to 3 hours depending upon the condition of the skin and extent
of the area involved. One to three months later, the spaces between
the new implants are filled in with new grafts. About six weeks after
each transplant, the hair falls out. Approximately three months later,
new hair appears and grows at a rate of one quarter to one-half inch a
month.
What types of baldness can be helped by this procedure?
There are many causes for hair loss in men and
women including high fever as a result of severe infection, thyroid
disease, inadequate protein in the diet, certain medications, cancer
treatments, childbirth, birth control pills and others. Many of these
conditions are reversible and do not require hair transplantation. The
most common type of baldness that is successfully treated with hair
transplantation is male pattern baldness. This condition, inherited
from either side of the family, starts when a person is in his or her
teens, twenties or thirties. While women with this inherited tendency
do not become bald, they can develop considerable thinning of the
hair. Other types of baldness that respond to this procedure are those
which have resulted from accidents, operations and inflammatory or
infectious diseases of the scalp. Following the initial treatments,
many patients who want to achieve greater density or refinement of the
hairline will return for additional transplants.
The technique Now a days which is
effective for the treatment of baldness is single
Follicular Hair Transplantation.
For the last few years this technique
becomes even more better due to rapid progress in this field.
-
Use of binocular microscope so that
follicles can cut in complete unit.
-
Use of slit instead of punches
-
Planning of sessions of HT as baldness
progresses.
-
Most Important is to have a trained
team of HT with surgeons.
-
Progress in the technique of local
Anesthesia due to which HT becomes a painless procedure.
-
This progress is excellent and
characterized by natural and definitive results. The most important
aspect is patient's satisfaction after single follicular hair
transplantation.
Different Stages of the procedure:
 This
latest Single Follicular Slit Graft Technique
is a surgical procedure based on the fact that hair follicles from
side and back of the head are genetically programmed to grow. With
this new technology, we transplant one hair at one time. The final
result is Guaranteed Healthy 100%
naturally growing hair with no scars
and no side-effects.
 
Result:
The result is obvious in 3 to 6 months.
The growth of the transplanted Hair is 1cm per month.
The new hair grow like normal hair and
