What is a hair transplant?

A hair transplant is a cosmetic procedure used to treat advanced cases of hair loss. It is the process of restoring your natural hairline. In the surgery, healthy hair follicles are removed from the donor area of the scalp and implanted into the recipient area. Our hair transplant training courses focusses on all the steps involved in this transplantation prices.

The “donor area” of the scalp refers to the sides and the back of the head. The hairs in this part of the scalp are genetically predisposed to never fall off.

The “recipient site” refers to those areas the scalp that get affected by the hair loss condition. These are basically the balding spots on one’s head.

Hair transplant results are permanent because the hair that grows in the recipient site is permanent. Since the follicles are taken from the donor site, they are programmed to never fall off.

Types of Hair Transplant

When you take a course for hair transplant training in India, you learn about the process for both FUE and FUT transplant techniques.

1. FUT: Follicular Unit Transplantation is the traditional technique. A strip of skin containing healthy hair follicles are removed from the donor area of the scalp. The strip of skin is then put under the microscope for follicle extraction and then grafts are prepared. FUT transplants leave a long linear scar behind. A good and skilled surgeon can successfully graft a large number of follicles using this technique.

2. FUE: Follicular Unit Extraction is the more advanced method. Hair follicles are extracted directly from the scalp. A low-torque, low-RPM specialized machine is used for the extraction process. FUE method is preferred by many surgeons as it has a quicker recovery rate. There are no stitches or scarring involved in this. The surgeon should be efficient and skilled to ensure the grafting is done with successful results. Careful planning is needed so that the surgeon can pick hair grafts without depleting the donor area region.
