With the technology in every aspect of life advancing every other day, it is much-debated question that which hair transplant is the best? Or Which hair transplant method gives the best results?
Lets us explore the world of hair transplants here.
Well, there are various methods of hair transplant, but the more effective and popular ones are FUT & FUE techniques.
FUT– The Follicular Unit Transplant is a strip harvesting technique, performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon uses a scalpel to cut out a strip of skin on the scalp usually, from the back of the head. The incisions are closed with the stitches. The skin strip is then separated with smaller sections to segregate the hair units under special microscopes and surgical knives. These hair units are then implanted into the desired section. This process, when done under the right surgeons, can do wonders for you! It can give you natural-looking hair with proper growth and styles.
The healing process is faster and the hair can be trimmed and styled like normal after the complete hair growth has happened.
FUE : Is by large the most popular and frequently preferred technique in the hair transplantation area. Lately, it has been developed significantly in its mode of application. The surgeon takes hair grafts from the donor area and it is transplanted into the desired area. Here the hair follicles are extracted straight from the back of the head through tiny punches of 0.8 or 0.9 mm.
- The surgeon prepares the bald area of the scalp by punching tiny slits with a needle. The hair from the donor area is transplanted.
- The session could be a single sitting that is 6 hours to 8 hours. Some times it is suggested to go for two separate sittings as the process demands for the surgeon to place thousands of grafts in this process.
Post grafting the scalp needs healing from the punching wounds and hence the grafts and hence a minimum of one week rest is suggested. Most people get to work by 4-5 days.
Immediately after surgery, your scalp may be sore and painful. Since the surgery is minimally invasive, some pain medication should reduce your pain. Antibiotics, will be suggested to avoid infection.
In around one year once the hair has grown properly you can enjoy a lush patch of healthy hair and style it or cut it as you may please.
