Hair Transplant for Men and Women and Its Utilities
The method followed in hair transplant treatment
As hair transplant is a surgical method, so there are pre operative, operative and post operative stages. In the pre-operative stage, the patient gets a sitting with the surgeon to discuss about his general physical health and lifestyle. The surgeon suggests the patient to quit the consumption of all medicines, alcohol and smoking for few days before and after the surgery. This helps in the survival of the newly planted hair follicles by the surgery. Then comes the stage of actual surgery. There are two ways in which the surgery can be performed. These are as follows-
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
In this process, the surgeon extracts unit hair follicles from the hairy regions of the scalp and grafts then in the empty regions with the help of local anesthesia. The follicles are planted in a pre-determined pattern using fine needles to puncture the recipient site. No scars are left back in this treatment.
Follicular Unit Strip or simply Strip
This method is similar to FUE but the only difference lies in the fact that here a linear strip of hairy skin is extracted that bears a series of hair follicles. This strip is grafted in the bald areas just like FUE. A small linear scar is left back for this method which eventually becomes invisible under the hair growth.
After the surgery is over, the post operative stage begins where the patient's scalp is shampooed to prevent scabs. Then a semi-permeable dressing is given to avoid infections.
The results of the treatment
This treatment gives measurable positive results but it can be seen only after 9-12 months of the surgery. This time span is required for the newly planted hair follicles to get accepted by the surrounding scalp tissues.
