What is Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant is a type of surgery where a dermatologist moves hair to a bald head area. The doctor usually moves hair from the back or side of the head to the front and top of the head.
There are two main types of hair transplant:
Follicle Unit Strip Surgery (FUSS): Under this treatment, the surgeon removes a strip of shin from the donor area and then closes the incision with the help of stitches. Further, with a microscope, they separate the donor skin into tiny follicular units containing one or more hair follicles and then insert these units into the area as desired.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): Here, the surgeon uses a tiny punch tool to remove hair follicles from the donor area. This procedure is less noticeable, and the person under this treatment requires no stitches.
Who all May Require a Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant can improve your aesthetics and your appearance and can help boost confidence. Some of the candidates who may require a hair transplant include:
People suffering from male pattern baldness, especially males
Women undergoing problems with thinning hair
Any individual who has lost some hair from a burn or due to scalp injury
However, a hair transplant cannot be a good option for the following:
Women who have a widespread pattern of hair loss all through their scalp
People who have less hair or, say less, donor sites from where hair transplants will be done
People who develop keloid scars (thick, fibrous scars) mainly due to injury or after surgery
What to Expect After a Hair Transplant?
You may undergo some medical conditions after the hair transplant. Your scalp may be sore, and you must have certain medications after a hair transplant. This includes:
Pain medicines
Antibiotics to help reduce infection risks
Anti-inflammatory drugs to maintain down swelling
Most of the patients can quickly return to work after surgery. It is also customary for the transplanted hair to fall out two to three weeks after the hair transplant. This helps make way for new hair growth. Most people witness some amount of new hair growth 8-12 months after surgery.
Typically, people after a hair transplant will continue to grow hair in the transplanted area on the scalp. The new hair may tend to appear more or less dense depending on:
Scalp laxity, or looseness of the scalp skin
Hair follicle density in the transplanted zone
Quality of hair
Hair curl
Cost of Hair Transplant Surgery
The total cost of hair transplant surgery largely depends on the severity of hair damage and individual circumstances. However, doctors calculate the price of a hair transplant based on per hair graft. Each graft contains one to three hair follicles depending on the baldness level and natural hair units.
You can opt for a medical treatment loan for your hair transplant surgery.
