Hair transplantation is a worldwide surgical technique which consists of extracting hair from a donor area (usually the back or side of the head, but also the beard and other areas if necessary) under local anaesthesia and implanting to the bald spots. During this operation the grafts, or the hair follicles, are harvested from donor area then are transferred to the prepared section of the head. As long as the donor area is sufficient, any person with hair loss can undergo a hair transplant.
There are various tecniques in the Hair Transplantation operation:
- DHI or Direct Hair Implantation: The application of the follicle is performed without shaving the receiving or donor area. No stitches.
- FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction: The absence of evident scarring. Less invasive thanks to the use of a small puncture.
- Sapphire FUE: There is less scarring on the scalp. No complications after the operation. A higher thickness of the grafted area.
- FUT or Follicular Unit Transplantation: Removing a long strip of the scalp, separating the follicles, and then transplanting them.
While these tecniques are giving patients natural-looking results, the outcome still depends largely on the surgeon and the clinic or hospital you select.
