DIRECT HAIR TRANSPLANT CLINIC | FUT AND FUE | HAIR LOSS IN INDIA

Hair transplant is a surgical technique which is used to move the hair follicles from one part of the body (usually called donor site) to another part of the body called the recipient site. Usually done to cover up the bald patches on the head, some other utilities of hair transplantation include hiding the scars on face and nearby areas caused due to accidents or surgeries and, restoration of the eyebrows, eyelashes, beard hair, chest hair and pubic hair. The most common techniques for Hair transplant include Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). FUT involves removing a 6 to 10 inch skin strip from the back of the head (harvesting hair follicles from the donor area), dividing it into grafts of either individual hair or a group of hair. The number of grafts usually depends on the intensity of the volume of the bald patch. In FUE however, the surgeon shaves the back of the head and removes (harvests) the follicles one by one. The procedure of planting the graft is the same after this for both the techniques. Though FUE is comparatively expensive and time consuming as compared to FUT yet it is preferred because first, unlike FUT, no stitch mark is left on the scalp as no skin is removed per se. Also, the results obtained are more natural and the postoperative recovery is usually faster. There is however another new and advanced technique for hair implantation called Direct Hair Transplant. The advantage that this technique has over the other two is that it does not require reception incision or making holes on the receptor surface. With the help of a patented DHI implanter tool, the hair follicles are directly implanted at the receptor site. The sittings and sitting duration for either of the three techniques depends on the extent of baldness or hair thinning on the affected area.
