Follicular Hair
Transplantation
Follicular hair
transplantation is a surgical procedure in which small plugs of
hair-bearing skin containing 2 to 3 hair each are taken from the
back or sides of the scalp and transferred to the bald area on the
head.
The
area from which the grafts are taken (donor site) is first treated
with a local anesthesia followed by removal of the desired number
of hair grafts. The area that is to receive the grafts (recipient
site) is similarly treated and the donor grafts are carefully
placed into the prepared area in a pattern that matches the
direction of the original hair. The transplants are spaced in such
a way as to allow each to receive an adequate blood supply during
the healing process. The procedure lasts for 3 to 6 hours
depending upon the condition of the skin and extent of the area
involved. About six months later, the spaces between the new
implants are filled in with new grafts. About six weeks after each
transplant, the hair falls out. Approximately three months later,
new hair appears and grows at a rate of one quarter to one-half
inch a month. Mega session consists of more than 3000 follicles
(7000 to 8000 Hair) in few hours.
What types of baldness can be helped by this procedure?
There are many causes for hair loss in men and
women including high fever as a result of severe infection,
thyroid disease, inadequate protein in the diet, certain
medications, cancer treatments, childbirth, birth control pills
and others. Many of these conditions are reversible and do not
require hair transplantation. The most common type of baldness
that is successfully treated with hair transplantation is male
pattern baldness. This condition, inherited from either side of
the family, starts when a person is in his or her teens, twenties
or thirties. While women with this inherited tendency do not
become bald, they can develop considerable thinning of the hair.
Other types of baldness that respond to this procedure are those
which have resulted from accidents, operations and inflammatory or
infectious diseases of the scalp. Following the initial
treatments, many patients who want to achieve greater density or
refinement of the hairline will return for additional transplants.
The technique Now a days which is
effective for the treatment of baldness is single
Follicular Hair Transplantation.
For the last few years this
technique becomes even more better due to rapid progress in this
field.
-
Use of stereo-microscope so that
follicles can cut in a complete unit.
-
Use of slit instead of punches
-
Planning of sessions of HT as
baldness progresses.
-
Most Important is to have a
trained team of HT with surgeons.
-
Progress in the technique of local
Anesthesia due to which HT becomes a painless procedure.
-
This progress is excellent and
characterized by natural and definitive results. The most
important aspect is patient's satisfaction after single
follicular hair transplantation.
Different Stages of the procedure:
This latest
Single Follicular Slit Graft Technique
is a surgical procedure based on the fact that hair follicles from
side and back of the head are genetically programmed to grow. With
this new technology, we transplant one hair at one time. The
final result is Guaranteed Healthy 100%
naturally growing hair with no scars
and no side-effects.
Result:
The result is obvious in 3 to 6
months. The growth of the transplanted Hair is 1cm per month.
The new hair grow like normal hair
and you can cut these hair regularly.
