Hair loss remains one of the major concerns of people nowadays, specifically men. It can be caused by factors such as hormonal changes, family history, any accident/injury or due to aging. It is also said that the earlier the hair loss begins, the more severe it becomes.
Hair Transplant is the most effective method to treat male pattern baldness. It is a surgical procedure which removes the hair follicles from one part of the body, commonly known as a ‘donor site’, to a bald area, commonly known as a ‘recipient site’. In this procedure, the doctor takes grafts or small pieces of the skin from those areas of the body that consist of healthy and fine hair. This area is called a donor site. It is commonly found on the back of the scalp where thick hair is found. The doctor will shift these grafts to those parts of the areas which are hairless. When the transplanted hair starts healing, new hair starts growing on the bald areas.
Hair Transplant surgery in Noida available at Skinlogics is suitable for areas such as eyelashes, eyebrows, beard hair, chest and also helps to correct scars caused by accidents or any injury. With hair transplants, one can achieve a natural appearance with completely natural hair growth.
There are many factors which lead to hair fall. These include fluctuations in hormones, genes, some medications, stress or any medical problem. This can be temporary but when the hair follicles stop growing Hair Transplant is the only choice as no other medical treatment would help the hair follicles grow.
What are the causes of Hair Transplant?
Losing hair is a thing to worry about. There are approximately 50 million men and 30 million women who experience male/female baldness. When other hair fall treatments do not work, or if an individual has excessive hair fall, that is when a hair transplant is suggested. However, hair transplant plays an important role in changing lives and helping people look younger than their actual age. If one has lost a significant amount of hair from the scalp, the process can be reversed through hair transplant surgery. It eliminates baldness, and one has to stop worrying about a receding hairline after getting this done. Individuals with thin hair also get this procedure done.
It also improves the self esteem as well as confidence of the person who has been experiencing excessive hair fall. Even so, it helps to cover the frontal bald areas which look unsatisfactory by extracting hair from the back of the head to the front areas. Individuals who have lost hair due to an injury, or any accident can also get this procedure done. However, Hair transplants are used to restore hair growth to places of the scalp where hair has been reduced or has stopped growing. It is an effective treatment for a variety of hair loss conditions. Follow-up transplants may be required for long-lasting results.
What are the types of Hair Transplant?
Following are the two types of Hair Transplant techniques:
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
The doctor extracts individual hair follicles from the donor site. Tiny holes are then cut in the area of the scalp that will receive the transplant with a blade or needle. The doctor then carefully places the removed hair follicles into these holes. It is the most commonly performed hair transplant technique world over as the FUE hair transplant has been successful in serving the following benefits:
- The risk of infection is minimized. With some hair transplant procedures, the patient may suffer from postoperative infection, but this is not the case with FUE hair transplant.
- The surgery is painless as it is done under local anesthesia.
- FUE hair transplant needs no stitches. This happens due to the advanced technology which is now being used to do the surgery.
- FUE surgery is recognized globally for its consistency, safety & effectiveness.
- The quality of the transplanted hair is similar to the natural hair.
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)
A strip of skin will be removed by the doctor from the back of the head. The incision is considered to be quite long. The doctor then separates the removed area of the scalp into two parts. After that, follicular unit grafts are transplanted. These areas help in growth of hair and lastly, the incision site gets stitched up. The FUT hair transplant has been successful in serving the following benefits:
- This surgery takes only 4-8 hours to complete the procedure. It usually takes less time than the FUE hair transplant surgery but the size of the recipient area also varies.
- The recovery time of FUT transplant is only 10 days. The new hairline is visible within 3-4 months of the surgery.
- FUT hair transplant involves very minimal discomfort if done by a professional expert. Local anesthesia is used in the procedure. The patient feels comfortable during the procedure and it does not cause a lot of pain and inconvenience to the patient.
- As a strip of skin is removed, it involves stitches & scars. Although, once the hair growth is complete, the scar is well concealed and not visible at all.
FUE vs. FUT: Which is better?
To provide the best hair transplant surgery in Noida, we utilize both FUE & FUT techniques depending on mutual consent of the patient & the doctor. Both procedures are good choices for both men and women who are experiencing hair loss. When deciding between the two i.e. FUE and FUT, you and your doctor should talk about your objectives and goals, as well as the quantity of follicular units needed to accomplish the desired coverage and the final design of the hairline. This will help you and your doctor determine which hair transplantation method is ideal for you.
Ideal candidates for hair transplant
- Anyone with permanent hair loss, including male and female pattern baldness is a candidate for hair restoration surgery.
- Men and women who desire to change their hairline.
- People who have scars from any injury as well as patients who have lost hair after surgery.
- Those seeking to thicken or repair their brows, eyelashes, or beards.
Planning a hair transplant procedure
It is important to follow a set of instructions given below for successful results:
- Avoid smoking before as well as for a few weeks after the surgery takes place. Smoking affects the healing of the wound.
- Do not consume alcohol 7 days before the surgery in order to get the best results.
- Massage the scalp about a month or two before the surgery, as this helps to improve the skin tone and soften the skin.
- Avoid getting a haircut prior to the surgery. Let the donor site grow completely so that there is enough hair for the surgery. Plus, it will also cover the stitches.
- Avoid taking blood thinning medication as per the instructions of the hair transplant surgeon.
- The doctor might advise to get some tests done to rule out any complications.
How is the surgery performed?
Hair Transplant mainly involves four stages:
- Preparation of Hair Transplant This stage involves administration of local anesthesia to make it a comfortable process for the patient. The surgeon then waits for the anesthesia to take its effect before proceeding with the actual surgery.
- Graft Harvesting The hair follicles are separated from the skin with the help of a punching device. This is a very important step for hair transplant surgery. The aim of the surgery is to give the most natural look and without leaving any traces of a surgical procedure. In order to get the best results and to make the procedure scarless, the grafts are taken out strategically skipping some follicles in between. The aim is to get a uniform density when these leftover follicles grow.
- Transplanting the hair grafts in the Recipient Site This is again a very important step. How natural the results appear will depend on the placement of the hair follicles in the right angle as well as direction. Choosing the best hair transplant surgeon in Noida can ensure that the results are as expected, especially the hairline. The hair transplant surgeons at Skinlogics take utmost care to be sure of not damaging the hair roots when the follicles are being transferred during the transplantation. Thus increasing the success rate of the surgery.
