Hair transplantation is a popular cosmetic procedure aimed at addressing hair loss and baldness caused by various factors such as genetics, stress, and hormonal imbalances.
Procedure Overview:
- Preoperative Assessment: During an initial consultation, the suitability of the patient for hair transplantation is assessed, and the optimal method (DHI or FUE) is determined based on individual needs and preferences.
- Hair Extraction: Using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method, hair follicles are carefully extracted from the donor area on the back of the head. This process is performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort.
- Transplantation: The harvested hair follicles are meticulously implanted into the recipient area using micro-surgical instruments such as Choi Pens. The DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) and Sapphire techniques are employed to ensure precise placement and natural-looking results.
- Recovery & Aftercare: Following the procedure, patients are provided with detailed instructions for postoperative care. This includes washing the scalp with prescribed shampoo and lotion, using recommended medications, and avoiding activities that may disrupt the healing process. Patients are advised to use a neck pillow and hair band to protect the transplanted area and promote proper healing.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Hair Loss: The transplanted hair is permanent and will not fall out as it is taken from the donor area, which is typically resistant to hair loss.
- Shaving: While it is possible to undergo hair transplantation without shaving the recipient area, the donor area may still need to be shaved for the extraction of grafts.
- Postoperative Medications: Patients are prescribed pain relievers, antibiotics, stomach protectors, hair lotions, shampoos, and supplements such as vitamin B8 (biotin) to support hair health.
- Techniques: Both FUE and DHI techniques are utilized based on the individual needs of the patient.
- PRP Treatment: PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, derived from the patient's own blood, is offered to promote hair growth and enhance results.
- Long-Term Results: Hair transplantation offers permanent results, providing patients with natural-looking hair for a lifetime.
