Introduction
Every individual aspires to have thick, dark and long hair. But in the times of poor lifestyle patterns and ever increasing stress, baldness is very common. It is also common , if there is a hereditary in the family.
Baldness is a matter of high concern among men and women both. Being bald is a beauty issue and it can’t be ignored.
Thanks to the developments in the field of dermatology. There is a technique called hair transplant, which comes as a solution and help in the growth of natural hair.
What is Hair Transplant?
Hair transplant is a technique/surgical procedure which involves removing hair follicles from one part of the body (called donar site) to a balding part of the body (called recipient site). After this transplant, the implanted hairs start growing like normal hair.
The hair follicles are taken from eyelashes, eyebrows, beard hair, chest hair and pubic hair and area implanted on the bald areas.
This way, the hair transplantation is done.
Techniques of Hair Transplant
There are two main hair transplant techniques that are used most commonly. They are-
1. FUE
FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction. It is a technique in which each follicular unit is harvested from the scalp. The hair doctor will remove the hair follicles in a random fashion from the donor area. Microscopic incisions are made to harvest the follicles from the selected area.
This technique can be deployed either manually or with the help of robots.
If done manually, the physician carries out the harvesting by himself.
If it is done with the help of robots, then the hair loss specialist just guides the robot to carry out the harvesting.
This technique has the benefits of-
a. Least pain
b. Early Recovery.
c. Minimum scarring in the donor area
d. Better Results
The success rate of robotic FUE is as high up to 100 percent .
2. FUT
FUT stands for Follicular Unit Transplantation. This technique o transplantation is also known as the “strip method”.
In this , a long, thin piece of tissue is removed from the back of the scalp. Individual follicular units are then removed from the strip using stereo-microscopic dissection.
Once the follicles have been harvested, the wound is closed leaving behind a single, very fine linear scar.
The benefits of this method include-
a. Higher chances of follicle survival
b. Hair transplantation in natural groups of 1 -4 hair yielding natural results
c. Least scarring
The selection of the technique to be used for transplant depends on the goals and expectations of the individual along with his/her hair loss patterns. For example- people who want better coverage and fullness may opt for FUT technique.
Both the above methods are very effective in restoring healthy and naturally looking hair.
Doubts About a Hair Transplant
Many people have doubts about hair transplant. They consider it as a technique which helps in growing hair for some time and then again their baldness will be visible. Many consider it as a very painful procedure.
While many have a doubt that a hair transplant will give them artificially looking hair, which will further embarrass them.
Hence, it is better to clear all doubts about the permanency and looks after the transplant.
Is Hair Transplant Permanent?
The answer to this question is certainly “Yes”. This most important advantage of hair transplantation is that it is permanent and there is absolutely no need to go through the procedure again. Also, an individual will be able to have naturally looking hair after the transplant.
One should ever get nervous if there is a minor hairfall after the “hair transplantation” is done. This hairfall is very obvious and takes place after the procedure.
The new hair will then start growing out of the implanted grafts in the next five to six weeks.
After the transplant, all you need is to maintain proper hair hygiene in consultation with your hair expert, eat healthy and have a healthy lifestyle to maintain proper hair health.

By working on the above aspects, you will not just have a higher success rate but also you will be more confident about the procedure.
