How is a hair transplant performed?
With advances in technology, hair transplantation has become easier than ever. In the past, the technique known as FUT was used, in which a strip of skin is removed from the donor area at the back of the head. Grafts (hair follicles) are then transplanted to areas where hair loss is evident. Although the FUT method had been widely used in the past, this technique is no longer preferred because, there is considerable scarring at the back of the head. In addition, the recovery time with FUT is longer and more uncomfortable compared to other techniques.
Nowadays, the FUE technique is standardly used in hair transplantation. This method is the latest hair transplantation method, this technique is the least invasive of the available techniques. The process starts with a local anesthetic at the donor area, then the grafts (hair follicles) are detached one by one with a ‘micro fue punch’.
The next step involves local anesthesia again in the area where the hair follicles are placed. Next, tiny incisions are made and the extracted hair follicles are planted one by one in the area where the treatment will be applied.
