Varoious methods of having a hair transplant done7/17/2014

People around the world, particularly men largely face the issue of hair loss. There are various factors that trigger this issue. The factors noticed most commonly include family history, hormonal changes, aging and trauma. If hair loss starts early, you can expect it to be rather extreme. If you want to get reconstructive treatment for baldness, than you ought to consider hair replacement surgery or hair transplant.

To carry out this procedure, strands of hair are taken from bal-resistant areas of the scalp to be implanted on the affected areas. Bald-resistant hair are generally those which are located on the back and sides of the head. These parts of your scalp are commonly believed to be genetically resistant to baldness, so the hair on them would definitely grow back all through your life. To make the procedure more natural looking, it is best to have a few hair relocated in every session and not replace all of them in just one go.

Three different methods are used for hair transplantation. These methods are discussed in detail below:

FUSS or Follicular Unit Strip Surgery

In this procedure, a strip of hair is taken from the donor region and implanted on to the balding or thinning areas. The donor area is then closed with the help of sutures. It takes quite a few days for the area to heal. Considering that a number of grafts can be transplanted in just one session, this procedure is best for those suffering from intense balding.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

This method is fairly recent and more popular. In this method, the transplant expert takes strands of hair in groups of one to four from the back and sides of your hair and implants them on to the affected area. This is the natural growth method of hair. As the process is similar to that of natural hair growth, the results are rather natural. A major advantage of this procedure is that deep or major cuts do not have to be made. This is the reason why the recovery time is fairly short and there are not many scars.

Scalp Reduction


Performing this hair transplant method is not really common. In this method, the area that is bald is removed surgically and the part of the scalp which still has hair is stretched so as to replace the area that has been taken away. The procedure is generally very expensive. Its major disadvantage is that it tightens up the scalp and makes it thinner.

If you are interested in getting a hair transplant surgery performed, it is necessary for you to understand that the coverage with hair that you previously had would never ever be brought back. These surgical procedures are just meant to make your scalp look fuller and have the thinning areas covered. But, hair transplant is not all that safe and has its own risks. Just like other transplant procedures, there is a good chance that the skin graft might just die, which would obviously require you to have the surgery performed again. You might also developed a few small bumps on the head. A highly qualified doctor must perform the procedure. Plus, it is necessary for you to understand in depth details about this procedure before actually deciding to go for it.
