What Is A Hair Transplant?
It is a procedure designed to relocate your grafts from the donor to the recipient area. The donor side is typically chosen from the back or side of your head since these are less prone to baldness. Furthermore, this is a permanent and natural solution to your condition. You will be able to enjoy different styles and cuts without them feeling artificial since the specialist takes special care in implanting them according to the pre-existing hairline.
How Does It Work?
Two main techniques are used for extracting and implanting Hair Transplant.
- FUT: It involves the extraction of a thin strip of skin. This strip is full of healthy grafts, that are dissected under the microscope for transplantation.
- FUE: In this, individual graft is directly extracted from your donor area. This does not involve any additional step and the grafts are directly implanted in the donor area.
Results:
You will notice improved hairline and filled balding spots. Moreover, the density of your strands will also improve and you will be able to gain luscious and voluptuous mane. This will make you appear more aesthetically appealing.
Ideal Candidate:
Individuals who are experiencing symptoms of pattern baldness or alopecia are ideal for this treatment. Similarly, those with receding or balding crowns can undergo this treatment.
