Overview

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves moving hair follicles from one part of the body (the donor area, typically the back or sides of the head where hair is more resistant to balding) to the balding or thinning areas (the recipient area). The transplanted hair continues to grow naturally, providing a permanent solution to hair loss.

Causes

Hair loss can stem from various factors, including:

  • Genetics: Androgenetic alopecia (male/female pattern baldness) is the most common cause.
  • Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, childbirth, thyroid problems, menopause.
  • Medical Conditions: Alopecia areata, scalp infections, trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder).
  • Medications: Chemotherapy, certain drugs for arthritis, depression, heart problems.
  • Stress: Severe physical or emotional stress.
  • Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of iron, protein, or vitamins.

Solutions

While various non-surgical treatments exist, a hair transplant offers a permanent and natural-looking solution for significant hair thinning or baldness, restoring not just hair but also confidence.

Types of Treatments

Modern hair transplant techniques offer tailored solutions for various needs. Here's an overview:

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

Also known as the 'strip method', a strip of scalp skin with hair follicles is removed from the donor area, dissected into individual grafts, and transplanted.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

Individual hair follicles are directly extracted one by one from the donor area using a micro-punch tool, then transplanted to the recipient area. Less invasive than FUT.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

A non-surgical adjunctive treatment where the patient’s own concentrated plasma (rich in growth factors) is injected into

Eyelash Hair Transplant

Restores or enhances the thickness and length of eyelashes using hair follicles typically taken from the scalp.

Beard and Moustache Hair Transplant

Fills in patchy areas, adds density, or creates a desired beard/moustache style using scalp hair follicles.

Eyebrow Hair Transplant

Reconstructs or thickens eyebrows for those with thinning, sparse, or absent brows, using fine hair follicles from the scalp.

Hair Transplant in Scars

A specialized procedure to grow hair in areas of the scalp or face that have scarring due to injury, surgery, or burns.

Surgery Procedures and Recovery Time

A hair transplant is typically performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon first prepares the donor area, then extracts follicles using either the FUT (strip) or FUE (individual extraction) method. Tiny incisions are then made in the recipient area, and the extracted follicles are meticulously implanted, mimicking natural hair growth patterns.

Recovery

Recovery is generally swift. Swelling and mild discomfort are common for a few days, managed with pain medication. Small scabs will form and fall off within 7-10 days. Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 days and resume normal activities within 1-2 weeks. New hair growth usually begins around 3-4 months post-procedure, with full results visible in 12-18 months.
