In a Hybrid Hair Transplant, both FUT and FUE techniques are combined. First of all, the FUT is performed in which hair follicles are extracted in the form of a strip. The donor area (usually, the back of the head) is then closed using Trichophytic closure. Once the FUT is done, the surgeon proceeds to the FUE.

I had read this topic almost a year back, and now have the confidence and knowledge to write with a Perspective coming out of experience. I am completing one year of my hair transplant today ,on 6th Oct 2022.

Does It really Work to all the candidates? Clear Yes or No will be misleading. But yes in my case it worked.

So let's discuss when it works:

Patient’s Variable:

Good: Norwood scale III-V and donor is capable to provide 3000-5000 follicular units (I FU= 1-4 hair follicles)

Challenging: Norwood scale VI-VII and donor is capable to 4000-4500 grafts in 2 sessions. Beard harvesting required

Challenging: Norwood scale VI-VII and donor is capable to 4000-4500 grafts in 2 sessions. Beard harvesting required

Impossible: Grade VII with limited and poor donor area. Hair Transplant does not work for achieving reasonable coverage and density

Hair Transplant Dr/ Team: The Surgeon and the team is expert enough to execute with minimal transection rate of grafts 1%-5%

How it works: It works when the science of surgery meets with the Art of Execution

Science of hair Transplant: surgical Redistribution of Hair grafts from permanent zone to bald area

Hair Grafts from the permanent Back portion of Scalp (Ear to Ear) are resistant to the influence of DHT (Hair loss causing hormone)

Art of Hair Transplant: Distribution of hair grafts with strategic allocation combining right density, depth and direction

End objective: Near to the natural look. Dreaming of an exactly natural look is a false expectation.

Role of Technique: It is a futile discussion whether FUE is or FUT is better. Both are good result oriented if done with an expert hand, however I opted FUE because of faster healing and no linear scale.

Theory:

Briefly, in hair transplants, a surgeon uses your own hair routs from the back of your head and above your head. After that, roots are extracted from that donor zone and transplanted to the bald zone accordingly. After a certain period of time, the newly implanted roots come out and last enjoyable almost for a lifetime period.

Practical :)

I think this picture is enough to explain the answer to this question.

If you also would like to get your transplant done where I got from, let me mention that clinic’s name: Long Hair Center Istanbul.

Here are the aspects of post transplant care:

  1. How to care after hair transplantation?

Implanted hair follicles and the post-op tired scalp require 14 days of diligent care. The naturalness of the angle of the hair, the repair of the damaged skin layers, the attachment of the hairs to their new roots… All of them depend on hygienic care and a meticulous patient approach.

2. In which cases hair transplant is successful or unsuccessful?

If your hair loss continues at the same severity, you still have bald areas on your head, you have formed scars that do not go away, you have had a failed operation.

2. In which cases hair transplant is successful or unsuccessful?

If your hair loss continues at the same severity, you still have bald areas on your head, you have formed scars that do not go away, you have had a failed operation. After a poor result you have few options open to you. You can either have the re-surgery or you can try PRP, mesotherapy, micropigmentation, i-PRF and other non-surgical methods.

3. Do's and don'ts after procedure

Do’s:

✅ Follow proper post-operative hair transplant care: Keep your scalp clean and clear of infection to promote graft viability.
✅ Use a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo: This will help maintain scalp hydration and promote healing.
✅ Apply a post-operative scalp serum: Using hair growth serums with biotin and minoxidil can help anchor the follicles.
✅ Sleep with your head elevated: This will reduce swelling and prevent pressure on the transplanted area, helping blood circulation.

Don’ts:

❌ Avoid direct sunlight: UV rays can damage the healing skin and disrupt graft fixation.
❌ Don’t scratch & rub the operated area: This avoids trauma to the follicle and reduces the possibility of scarring.
❌ Avoid hard physical activity: Intense exercise can increase blood tension and affect the graft’s adhesion.
❌ Don’t wash your hair too soon: Too much water pressure can disturb placed follicles in the early post-operative period.

4. Recovery and hair growth timeline

1️⃣ 4 days
After a hair transplant, please follow the aftercare instructions like saline spray to help the follicles heal and prevent infection. Rest well and avoid activities such as smoking and alcohol.

2️⃣ 5-9 days
Wash your scalp gently, don’t remove any dried skin or scabs, please. Avoid regular shampoo and continue to moisturise the scalp with saline sprays or a post-transplant mesotherapy serum like Perseus serum.

3️⃣ 10-14 days
Wash your hair with a post-op shampoo. Scabs should start to subside and hair follicles may temporarily fall out before new, healthy hair grows.

4️⃣ 3-6 months
Check up appointments are important to monitor progress. For future hair growth, care after hair transplant surgery should be planned together with the doctor.

5️⃣ 10 months
Full, natural hair regrowth is expected by 10 months, although the regrowth process begins at 2-3 months and is patchy at first.

6️⃣ 12 Months

This is the period when final checks are made and feedback is given. After 12 months you can contact the clinic to evaluate your final hair growth result or they can schedule a consultation.

How to take care of hair after a hair transplant

Aftercare is divided into several sections. In the first ten days, intense care and the never-touch principle are at the forefront, while after the 10th day, expressions like gentle touches and ultra-care shampoo selection make sense. Well, how will you take care of your hair step-by-step after a hair transplant?

First of all, you need to follow the instructions given to you by your clinic. For the first 10 days, the instructions usually say:

  • Sleep with your head elevated using 2-3 pillows. Extra pillows help with venous return and decrease the buildup of interstitial fluid.
  • Stop drinking and smoking until your doctor tells you you can start using them again.
  • Eat a protein-heavy diet to accelerate your hair growth and recovery.
  • Avoid scratching, excessive touching and rubbing your scalp.
  • Keep your scalp free from excessive humidity, dust and dirt.
  • Don’t swim, stay out of the sun.
  • Do not pick at the remaining scabs or pick at your transplanted hair.

Hi friend,

I have got HT two times. First one is FUT, second one is FUE. So I think, I am right person to answer the differences and the advantages of FUE vs FUT.

FUT: Strip surgery. Where a strip is taken from donor area. From the strip follicles are extracted and transplanted to top of the scalp or recipient area.

FUE: Follicles are extracted one by one from Donor area and transplanted to the recipient area.

From my personal experience, below are differences

FUE: Follicles are extracted one by one from Donor area and transplanted to the recipient area.

From my personal experience, below are differences

Coming to your question, will FUE works?

I think FUE is as effective and works the best as FUT, but it all depends on the doctor and the staff. In most of the FUE and FUT, doctor does high level work, where as it is the staff that do the extraction, and planting work. So the effectiveness is a summation of multiple factors.

In my 15 years of research and talking to several HT patients, I have seen disasters in FUE (but mostly in the beginning around 2010 to 2014), but nowadays, I am seeing several successful and super successful FUEs. People are going for FUE when compared to FUT due to several benefits like recovery time and so on.

Latest techniques in FUE like DHI and DHT are great, as they reduce the amount of time graft spends outside of body. That way, they increase the life of grafts. Some doctors assure you 100% grafts survival after they are transplanted. After all, that is what any one wants :(. The number of follicles are limited, so we are not ready to lose even a single graft.

Hope fully I have answered your question! If you are looking for natural remedies to control your hair loss and preserve the existing hair or regrow a part of the hair, you can refer to the hair regrowth remedies I posted on other answers.

Below are some threads having my answer for natural remedies which definitely help in hair growth and hair regrowth.

I was just waiting to see his final result , how natural could be looking , at the end he had an amazing result , I did not hesitate I booked with the same clinic Olcay Saygin Zen Hair Clinic after consulting with Dr Olcay about may case and are the expected results according my donor area and how full density my hair will look like , she informed me that 4500 grafts can be extracted by nano fue to be transplanted in my front , middle and crown area . they gave me evert detail about how the procedure will be done , the clinic also took care for my hotel and transportation and all what I need after the operation , so everything was well planed by them before I arrive , I spent my 3 days treatment in Istanbul, the operation done by Dr Olcay and her team, It was one session for 7 hours with bandage removal next day. I was happy when I saw my friend’s result and I was sure that my result will be exactly as my expectations . Dr Olcay is well known in the hair transplantation filed due to her hard work and her good reputation and good feedback from her clients, she kept follow up my case until the final result, and even now after 3 years we still in good communication and I’m thankful for her perfection in her work. The before and after pictures for the result is same as my result, natural looking with excellent density, with lifetime warranty certificate for the transplanted grafts.

The hair transplant surgery may also lead to mild pain, swelling, headache, and itching. These are, however, short-term complications.

Full hair transplant surgery is gaining a lot of prominence over the years because of the high success rates of the surgery and the latest technologies that reduce healing time and gives an actual outcome.

Hair transplant is entirely effective:

  • The surgery with Dr. Navnit Haror at Hair Transplant Clinic in Delhi has surely helped me improve my look. I had been hit by severe hair loss. Looking in a mirror was torture for me. With excessive hair loss, I lost all my confidence, and my personal and professional life was also affected. With hair loss, negativity also crept in an evaluation was also a lot. Hair transplant surgery is a one-time process that helped me regain my hair and improved the way I looked and felt.
  • I was inquisitive about hair transplant surgery, but I thought it was unsafe. All these myths were just out of my head once when I connected with Derma Miracle ask the doctors here to help me understand the procedure and how it was completely safe. A hair transplant does not involve any chemicals or medications that could damage my hair.
  • Once the hair transplant surgery was done, I could forget all my worries about hair loss. There are rare chances of having signs of baldness now after the surgery. Hair surgery is efficient and helps me solve all my problems.
  • One of the primary reasons why I decided to go for a transplant is that it is entirely cost-effective. All the money which was spent on surgery felt completely worth it because I did not have to apply any expensive special shampoos and chemicals or even visit the doctor repeatedly. The transplanted hair is completely like natural hair and needs no special attention, care, or maintenance. It will last for a lifetime, and the cost is even more justifiable now. I really thank Dr. Vineeta Pathak best Hair transplant doctor in Delhi who helped me with the surgery.

I haven’t followed the field for about 10–15 years.

But, here is how it worked then:

The procedure would take all day.

To start, the surgeon would cut out a strip of scalp that had hair, usually from the back of the head, as baldness tends to affect the front hairline and the top of the head much more than the back.

the strip was usually a half to three-quarters of an inch wide and three to four inches long.

the surgeon would hand the strip to a technician (or two or three) and stitch you up.

the surgeon would hand the strip to a technician (or two or three) and stitch you up.

the technician(s) would take the strip, or their section of it, and put it under a microscope to cut it up into individual hair follicles.

An individual follicle usually has one hair in in, but some have two, or even three.

while the technician(s) were cutting, you had to stay there, to sit there.

The technician would lay the individual follicles on tissue, and the tissues would be laid out on a tray that was carried back to the procedure room and given to the surgeon.

The surgeon would put holes in the region of scalp being transplanted, usually with a syringe. Then he or she would pick up the individual follicles with tweezers and stick them in the holes.

Surgeons will brag able how many follicles they can transplant in a session. But an average was about 800. One thousand was really good.

Some of the transplanted follicles would not survive. I believe it was anywhere from 10% to 25% that would not survive. But I’m not sure. So don’t quote me on that.

That many hairs sounds like a lot, where you are considering the task. But when you consider it in relation to natural hair density and area covered, it is not much at all.

Most people who have it done, do it twice or even three times, to try to get something approaching natural density. Even then, you end up looking better, but noticeably thin.

And, if you have big bald areas, like the entire crown of your head, forget about it. Reputable surgeons will tell you they cannot fill in an area that big.

Ten to 15 years ago, a single procedure cost somewhere in the ballpark of $20,000 average.

That meant, most transplant recipients spent roughly $40,000 to look thin, not like a model with a luxurious mane.

I thought, it makes sense if you are in a field like sales, where appearance is important, and having better hair might pay for itself, but not otherwise.

The reason they do it this tedious way is because, prior to the individual follicle approach, surgeons used to do plugs. They would take punches of hairy scalp, little clumps of follicles, and move them over to the area they were transplanting.

Working with plugs, the surgeons could cover a bigger area. But, on close inspection, the plugs were noticeable. It looked unnatural, like doll’s hair.

So, these days, instead of coverage, people are opting for naturalness.

But, again, the density is a challenge. At 800 hairs a session, you are not going to get anything close to natural density, not even with two or three sessions.

It is not. Hair transplantation is planting of live follicles on thinning area(majorly taken from back of your scalp). It is minor surgery with bit of pain. The growth of hair is not visible immediately,but after 3–4months of continuous prescribed medication.

Here medication is the key for better growth of tranplanted follicles. And even after great medication & maintenance, half of the follicles will fall due to regular cell cycle. The cost of transplantation depends upon no. of grafts of folicles you would like to have on your scalp. And again is an art, I advise to consult a specialist rathe

Caution - Generally, the medication given after surgery for inhibition of DHT harmone(which reduces the rate of hair fall) will have impact on the activity of your testosterone harmone(which is the reason of your “male characteristics”).

So, choose wisely either transplantation or testosterone. Even after this tenacious process, people can easily make out your transplanted hair with little observation (there is also no gurantee of the follicles of long stay).

Just try this,

Before transplantation - Salman khan

After transplantation -

Did you figer out the transplanted one?

Lets go deeper -

Rajnikant - Richest & iconic film star in India. Does he really looking bothered about his hair? I think no.

See him also-

Jeff bezos - richest man in the world. Does he really looking bothered about his hair? I dont think so.

When a richest film star (where looks treated as prime quality) & a richest guy in the world do not think of the transplantation, why are you thinking of it?

Oh! the girl ?

Ask her to choose in between testosterone and transplantation. If she really likes you, she will go for the former one.

I think now you have got to know the permenant solution.

Happy reading.

Hair transplant actually works, but definitely not for everyone. You should have enough donor hair and medically fit to undergo the surgery. At present, this is the only way to restore the hair and to get a natural appearance. The implantation is done by taking hair from the backside of our scalp, so it works just like the other existing hair. They will grow and will match the texture of the remaining hair. Moreover, they will not fall out easily because they are resistant to baldness. The surgery if done successfully will show you the result after 9 - ­12 months. It is the best and the safest

  2. Patient Evaluation: A thorough evaluation of the patient's hair loss pattern, donor hair quality, and scalp condition is essential to create a personalized treatment plan.
  3. Donor Hair Quality: Healthy donor hair with good density and texture is crucial for a successful transplant.
  4. Graft Extraction Technique: Modern techniques like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) are used to extract and transplant hair follicles. The surgeon's precision in graft extraction matters.
  5. Recipient Site Design: A well-designed hairline and recipient site are vital for a natural appearance. The surgeon must consider factors like hair direction and angle.
  6. Graft Placement: Proper placement of grafts in recipient sites is critical. This requires attention to detail to ensure the right angle, depth, and spacing.
  7. Post-Operative Care: Following post-operative instructions for cleaning, medications, and avoiding strenuous activities is crucial for graft survival.
  8. Healing Process: The body's ability to heal plays a role in the success of the transplant. A healthy lifestyle and adherence to post-surgery care are essential.
  9. Follow-Up and Maintenance: Regular follow-up visits with the surgeon and long-term hair maintenance strategies are needed to ensure the best results.

In short, what makes a hair transplant successful is a combination of surgical skills, patient suitability, and meticulous attention to detail. If you need professional guidance for a successful hair transplant, consider consulting a qualified surgeon like Dr. Jangid(Ex-Sr-Dermatologist at AIIMS).

  • The word claim and guarantee should be avoided in any medical treatments/ surgeries since the result varies from person to person.
  • Factors affecting the hair transplant outcome
    • Patients factors
      • General health of patients, associated conditions like diabetes, Hypertension.
      • Habits like alcohol and smoking
      • Scalp / donor and recipient area conditions - like seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, scalp folliculitis
      • Grade of hair loss vs donor area
      • Existing hair on recipient area/ supporting hair
      • Hair quality - diameter, No of hair follicle in per follicular unit,
    • Surgeons factors
      • Qualification and experience of surgeon
      • Team and OT setup
      • Technique used for surgery
    • Post HT - General care
      • Post HT basic care and medication
      • Medications and therapies after Hair transplant

So these are a few factors that determine the hair transplant results. Here I am sharing some of the cases. You can easily make-out which has the best result and which has an OK-OK result.

Case 1-

Good donor area, limited recipient area, support of existing hair + well planning = GOOD RESULT

Case- 2

Thinned hair so result is not as great as Case-1

Hope this will help you

Thanks and share if you agree :)

Hello friends, today I am gonna share with you the story of my hair transplant. My name is Ahmed & I do import & export business. Whenever I use to visit other countries I started to face a little bit of nervousness when I used to take photos & I saw that there was some kind of ignorance due to baldness. Then I started searching for hair loss medication and I researched that there is no medical treatment for the regrowth of new hair. Then I found one clinic in India - The new roots hair clinic which is famous for hair transplants. I took an appointment & met the doctor then they advised & explained to me regarding the hair transplant procedure. As I already researched about clinic a lot I was sure to do from there & didn’t think to take any other doctors opinion. Then I took a week holiday as suggested by doctor and decided to do during my business sales end which comes in February. So It was the best time for me to take proper rest & care required after Hair Transplant surgery.

Before surgery workup - I was advised to do some medical checkups like - CBC, RBS, HIV, HBsAg, sr. creatinine, sr. Bilirubin, urine routine, btct, ECG. After which I was advised to use medicated shampoo & some antifungal tablets. Then after a weekday came for my surgery in the New Roots Hair Transplant Clinic.

On surgery day - I wore loose pants & a button shirt as advised by the new roots hair clinic doctor. I also did a little breakfast & came to the clinic with my mother. My mother had some doubts regarding side effects & all which were cleared by doctor & made us relaxed. We signed the consent form & after payment formalities, we headed towards operation theatre. I changed clothes given by the clinic and entered the Operation theatre.

Surgery day - Here some vitals check-up like BP, pulse rate & anesthesia density was done. Then they took photographs of my scalp from all angles. They showed me a prior hairline which was designed according to my age, face look & expected grafts. I didn’t cross or argued like anyone for my hairline as they know very well regarding your hairline. Then after then I went to the washroom & drank sips of water. The OT table was ready; I prayed Allah & left it all upon him. Then they induced local anesthesia for extraction of grafts; it was painful till 2-3 minutes but then everything was normal & as I was lying down in a prone position I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. I could listen they were talking regarding grafts that The quality was good of grafts. After 3 hours extraction was almost complete. Then I Sat from the prone position, then I could see they were cleaning grafts & segregating it into different hair qualities like single hair, double hair, triple hair. I then met my mother and had lunch which was light & soft provided by clinic. After lunch, they finalized the hairline & shown it to me. As I was dependent & decision of hairline was relied on doctors then they induced local anesthesia again on front hairline which again was little pain-full for 3-4 mins but more than the previous one which they gave in the donor area. Then I felt like heaviness on the scalp but it was bearable later on that too reduced and they started slit making with sapphire blade Which is specifically performed very well by new roots hair clinic doctors. It took almost an hour to make the slits for 4500 grafts. Then after slits, 2 other technicians started implanting grafts which were cleaned & segregated. Two of them were still cleaning grafts & arranging them for technicians who were implanting. Sometimes I could feel a breeze as they were cleaning grafts by NS Spray which were implanted just now to maintain moisture & cleanliness. They maintained grafts very well outside the body by ice pack & various solutions to maintain a neutral balance of grafts. It was not painful but I was tired of lying in one position. So is started to concentrate on songs played in the background. After 4 hours implanting was completed then again I saw my scalp in the mirror & my scalp was full of grafts. New roots hair clinic doctors bandaged the donor area; then I took little glucose water to maintain my sugar level & mineral balance. Then I changed my clothes and doctors started to instruct regarding the care of hair Transplant-surgery which should be taken for at least 7 days. Then I was provided stuff to sleep.

Post-surgery recovery - I went home & had dinner which was not heavy & my mom provided juice for me. I was instructed to avoid reading books, using mobile & watching Tv. I removed the surgical cap & then slept on the drape which was given to the cover pillow to soak the plasma which would drain from the donor area. It was difficult for me to sleep in the supine position at night as I used to change my positions at night. But I loaded pillows from my left & right to make me alert if I would move any directions advised by the new roots hair clinic. In the morning I woke up & saw that all grafts were well and clotted. I had a heavy breakfast in the morning & took some antibiotics prescribed by doctors .post surgery dressing - I went to the clinic in the morning again as they called to clean grafts that were clotted. They removed bandage placed on donor area and cleaned grafts which were implanted By NS Spray & showed me how to clean grafts at home for 7 days. They gave a spray, gauze, cap & gloves to do dressing-at home. I came home and started taking a rest & was now able to sleep in any direction. I used to take medicine on time 2 times & clean the donor area with betadine & some cream given to me. I was cleaning grafts by spray provided by them after 3 hours. Then after 3 days, there was some swelling on my forehead which was normal as per the doctor from the new roots hair clinic. I used to apply ice on swelling two times a day & kept taking rest most of the time by sleeping properly. Then slowly on 6th day swelling reduced gradually and went down besides eyes & temporal area. Grafts were almost fixed and the scalp turned dark-colored. There was little itching in the donor area but I avoided it most of the time by applying betadine.

Head wash - Then I washed my scalp for the first time on the 8th day. I removed scabs with help of baby shampoo 2-3 times by rubbing it with soft hands. I washed it easily because I dampened grafts clot on the 7th night with coconut oil & body lotion in the morning. Now I could see the grafts were grown to an extent and were looking very good. I visited the clinic on the 9th day & purchased vitamins as prescribed by doctors and started to take from the next day. I changed my lifestyle & diet regimen as per doctors' advice. After 21 days I started using minoxidil 5 % at night. It was a little itchy but I started to use minoxidil which was having finasteride & was alcohol-free to avoid itching.

Shedding phase - Then after 25 days some of the hair which was implanted started to fall; according to doctors this is very normal & called as shedding phase where the old hair gets detached from the follicle & new hair starts to come from the bulb of the hair follicle. Almost all transplanted hair was shed till 40 days. I kept my medicine continued as per doctor advice and I started to see new hair coming from implanted area one by one but they were only few that is almost 5% only but I was assured that all grafts will come so I was calm and kept on taking vitamins. Now I can visit countries will confident and make my good pictures & travel blogs.

2. It will naturally eliminate your baldness, You won’t have to worry about a receding hairline or bald spots on your head because hair transplant surgery can solve all problems.

3. Because of its natural regrowth, it is very easy to maintain, Transplanted hair works just like your naturally grown hair so you don’t need to apply any special shampoos or chemicals to maintain its density.

4. Cost effective, i know it is quite strange, People might be thinking that how is hair transplant surgery cost effective. Well if you consider the costs of other treatments you will realize that those costs are although small but never-ending.

Now here comes the disadvantage, as i already told that you can eliminate demerits with precautions and research.

1 - You can not expect recovery in overnight, It takes 8 to 10 months for complete recovery so it is time bound.

2- There is also a minor risk of nerve damage associated with hair transplant procedures. This nerve damage is most common in surgeries which remove a portion of the scalp.

Hope this helps.

Typе of Hair Loss:

Hair transplants arе most еffеctivе for individuals with androgеnеtic alopеcia (gеnеtic pattеrn baldnеss), whеrе hair loss occurs in spеcific pattеrns. Thеy may bе lеss еffеctivе for othеr typеs of hair loss, such as еxtеnsivе scarring alopеcia.

Quality of Donor Hair:

Thе succеss of a hair transplant rеliеs on thе availability of hеalthy donor hair. Thе donor arеa is typically thе back or sidеs of thе hеad, whеrе hair is gеnеtically rеsistant to falling out. If thе donor hair is of good quality, thе likеlihood of a succеssful transplant is highеr.

Skill of thе Surgеon:

Thе еxpеrtisе and еxpеriеncе of thе surgеon pеrforming thе hair transplant play a crucial rolе in thе outcomе. Choosing a qualifiеd and skillеd surgеon with a good track rеcord is еssеntial.

Transplant Tеchniquе:

Thеrе arе diffеrеnt tеchniquеs for hair transplantation, such as follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit еxtraction (FUE). Thе choicе of tеchniquе can impact thе succеss of thе transplant, and thе surgеon will rеcommеnd thе most suitablе mеthod basеd on individual factors.

Post-Transplant Carе:

Following propеr post-transplant carе instructions is еssеntial for optimal rеsults. This includеs avoiding activitiеs that may damagе thе nеwly transplantеd hair, taking prеscribеd mеdications, and attеnding follow-up appointmеnts.

Rеalistic Expеctations:

Yes, hair transplants can be very effective for treating hair loss. The procedure works by moving healthy hair follicles from one part of the scalp (usually the back or sides, where hair is more resistant to balding) to areas where hair is thinning or has been lost. Here’s how and why it works:

1. Natural Growth

  • How It Works: The transplanted hair follicles are taken from areas that are not affected by hair loss (donor areas), and once they are transplanted, they continue to grow hair in the new location. Since they retain their genetic resistance to hair loss, the results are generally permanen

1. Natural Growth

  • How It Works: The transplanted hair follicles are taken from areas that are not affected by hair loss (donor areas), and once they are transplanted, they continue to grow hair in the new location. Since they retain their genetic resistance to hair loss, the results are generally permanent.
  • Result: The hair looks natural and continues to grow like normal hair, which makes the outcome realistic and long-lasting.

2. Permanent Solution

  • Unlike temporary treatments like wigs or hairpieces, hair transplants are considered a permanent solution to hair loss. Once the transplanted hair starts growing (usually after a few months), it can last for a lifetime.

3. Effectiveness

  • Success Rates: Hair transplants are generally very successful, with most patients seeing significant hair regrowth in the transplanted areas. Success rates vary depending on the individual, the technique used, and the skill of the surgeon, but success rates are typically over 90%.

4. Techniques

  • FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): This method involves extracting individual hair follicles and transplanting them. It leaves minimal scarring and provides natural-looking results.
  • FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): In this method, a strip of scalp is removed from the donor area, and hair follicles are transplanted. It may leave a linear scar but can be more cost-effective.
  • DHI (Direct Hair Implantation): A more advanced version of FUE, DHI involves direct implantation of hair follicles with specialized tools, allowing for better precision and density.

5. Factors to Consider

  • Suitable Candidates: People with adequate donor hair (usually on the sides or back of the scalp) are good candidates. It works best for those experiencing male or female pattern baldness.
  • Time for Results: While initial results may be visible in 3-4 months, it typically takes 9-12 months to see the full effect.

6. Limitations

  • Non-Progressive Hair Loss: For people with extensive hair loss, a single transplant might not cover all balding areas, and they may require multiple sessions.
  • Not a Cure for All Types of Hair Loss: Hair transplants are generally not recommended for hair loss due to medical conditions like alopecia areata or scarring alopecia.

In summary, hair transplants work effectively for many people, offering a permanent and natural-looking solution for hair loss. However, the outcome depends on various factors like the method used, the extent of hair loss, and the surgeon’s skill.

A hair transplant is a medical procedure designed to restore hair to areas experiencing thinning or baldness. The process involves harvesting hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp (where hair growth is genetically more resistant to thinning), and transplanting them to the areas of hair loss. Here's a detailed breakdown of how it works:

A hair transplant is a medical procedure designed to restore hair to areas experiencing thinning or baldness. The process involves harvesting hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp (where hair growth is genetically more resistant to thinning), and transplanting them to the areas of hair loss. Here's a detailed breakdown of how it works:

1. Consultation and Assessment

The process begins with a thorough consultation to determine the cause of hair loss, the patient's suitability for the procedure, and the desired outcome. A detailed medical history and scalp analysis are performed to plan the transplant.

2. Donor Hair Harvesting

There are two primary techniques for harvesting donor hair:

  • FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): A strip of skin is removed from the donor area, and individual follicular units are separated under a microscope.
  • FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Individual hair follicles are extracted directly from the scalp using tiny punches, leaving minimal scarring.

The choice of method depends on factors like the extent of hair loss, donor area quality, and patient preference.

3. Graft Preparation

The harvested hair follicles (grafts) are carefully prepared under a microscope to ensure their viability and alignment for natural-looking results.

4. Recipient Area Preparation

The bald or thinning area is prepped by creating tiny incisions or slits using specialized tools. The angle, direction, and density of these incisions are critical to mimic natural hair growth.

5. Graft Placement

Each follicular unit is meticulously implanted into the prepared sites. The surgeon places the grafts one by one, ensuring a natural and aesthetically pleasing hairline and overall appearance.

6. Recovery and Hair Growth

After the procedure, the transplanted hairs will initially shed within a few weeks – this is normal and part of the growth cycle. New hair growth typically begins after 3–4 months and continues to improve over 12–18 months, resulting in thicker, fuller hair.

Why It Works

The transplanted hair retains its original genetic resistance to hair loss, ensuring long-lasting results. However, it’s essential to address underlying causes of hair loss, like androgenetic alopecia, with supportive treatments like medications or lifestyle adjustments to maintain the surrounding hair.

A hair transplant is a highly effective solution for suitable candidates, but it’s vital to consult with an experienced specialist to ensure the best results tailored to individual needs.

Hair transplants have evolved very slowly over many years. The basic technique is to remove a strip of the scalp toward the back of the hairline above the collar. The first requirement is that the hair density in that area is sufficient to provide donor grafts which will appear "realistic," when placed in their future "home." The removed strip is then punched by round blades of 1-5mm in diameter. The harvested punch grafts are then inserted into small slits created in the area of sparse hair.

Hair transplants have evolved very slowly over many years. The basic technique is to remove a strip of the scalp toward the back of the hairline above the collar.

The removed strip is then punched by round blades of 1-5mm in diameter. The harvested punch grafts are then inserted into small slits created in the area of sparse hair. The larger grafts are placed closer to the the more dense natural hair, the smaller grafts are progressed toward the area which has no hair. The skill of the procedure is orienting the angle of the hair grafts to match the natural pattern of whorls(cowlicks) in the patients' natural hair pattern. Also, the grafts made more toward the completely bald areas should contain only 1-3 hairs. This avoids the "plug" appearance when grafts were first done without any regard to "tapering from large grafts to micrografts, the appearance was that of "corn rows." Taking too large a swath of donor hair will tend to create a visible scar, taking a donor strip from a person with very sparse hair will result in poor hair density in the areas to be transplanted. It is an art far more than a science.

The problem of Pattern Baldness

Pattern baldness in women, known as female pattern hair loss (FPHL), manifests as diffuse thinning over the crown rather than the typical receding hairline observed in men. Influenced by genetics and hormonal imbalances, FPHL leads to shrinking hair follicles, resulting in finer, shorter hair until the follicles cease producing hair. This condition affects a significant portion of women as they age, leading to reduced hair density.

Benefits of Hair Transplants for Women

Hair transplants are an increasingly popular solution for female pattern baldness especially due to the enriched-FUE technique utilized by experts. Checkout some of the benefits:

Natural-looking Results: The enriched-FUE technique offers the advantage of natural-looking results. By extracting individual hair follicles from donor areas, typically located at the back of the head where hair is genetically programmed not to fall out, these follicles are transplanted into the affected areas. The precision in placement ensures that the transplanted hair seamlessly integrates with the existing hair, creating a natural appearance.

Permanent Solution: Once transplanted, the hair follicles maintain their natural regrowth characteristics. Since they retain their genetic properties from the donor area, the results of the procedure are permanent.

Minimal Scarring and Quicker Recovery: A distinguishing feature of the enriched-FUE technique is the minimal scarring it leaves behind. The individual extraction of follicles results in tiny, almost undetectable scars at the donor site. Additionally, this technique leads to a faster recovery compared to conventional methods. Patients experience less discomfort post-surgery and can resume their regular activities sooner.

Painless Procedure: Modern hair transplant procedures are notably comfortable for patients due to advancements in anesthesia and surgical techniques. The use of local anesthesia and refined surgical methods, like the enriched-FUE technique, has significantly reduced discomfort during and after the procedure.

For women experiencing pattern baldness, a hair transplant under the guidance of a skilled professional like Dr. Jangid can be transformative. It not only facilitates hair regrowth but also restores confidence and self-assurance, providing a renewed sense of empowerment.

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that helps restore lost hair by moving follicles from one part of your scalp (typically the back or sides) to thinning or balding areas.

There are two main techniques: Bio-FUE ™ (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation).

  • In Bio-FUE™ , individual hair follicles are removed and transplanted, leaving unnoticeable dot-like scarring.
  • FUT involves removing a strip of scalp and dissecting it into smaller follicular units for transplantation.

Once the follicles are transplanted, they start growing hair naturally, and over time, you'll notice thicker, fuller hair in the treated areas.

While the process is effective, it requires careful post-surgery care and 9-12 months for results to fully show.

With advancements in technology, the latest hair transplant techniques offer more natural-looking results than ever before.

Bio fiber hair transplant is a relatively new treatment option gaining traction in recent years. It is a non-invasive procedure that uses natural fibers, such as cotton to replace lost hair.

While there is still some research that needs to be conducted in this area, preliminary evidence suggests that bio fibre hair transplant may be an effective treatment option for people looking to restore their hair loss. To find details such as cost, risks, and technique, check out this blog post.

Hair transplant (or hair restoration, hair implants) is a hair replacement treatment for men and women. The procedure permanently restores hair by transplanting new follicles into balding or thinning areas. Hair transplants correct male-pattern baldness and other forms of hair loss.

  • Hair restoration surgery usually takes a full day and is performed under local anesthesia and sedation, although some cases may require general anesthesia.

Hair transplant (or hair restoration, hair implants) is a hair replacement treatment for men and women. The procedure permanently restores hair by transplanting new follicles into balding or thinning areas. Hair transplants correct male-pattern baldness and other forms of hair loss.

  • Hair restoration surgery usually takes a full day and is performed under local anesthesia and sedation, although some cases may require general anesthesia. In this surgery, healthy hair follicles are removed from the back and/or sides of the head, and transplanted to areas where hair loss is occurring.
  • Surgery usually involves transplanting follicular units (the natural bundling of hairs as they grow in the scalp), with each unit containing one to four hairs. The most common technique is "strip harvesting" (sometimes referred to as follicular unit transfer, or FUT), which involves removing a single strip of the scalp where follicles are plentiful (the "donor site") and then cutting out the follicular units to create grafts for transplanting.
  • Another increasingly common technique is follicular unit extraction (FUE), in which each follicular unit is removed one at a time--a more time consuming process, but one that avoids the linear scar from the donor site. It can result in tiny dots on the back of the head that can sometimes be visible if the head is shaved. FUE is usually chosen by men, particularly those under 30 who may wish to shave their head, and by African Americans.
  • The average number of individual grafts needed depends on the patient; anywhere from 1,000 to 3,000 grafts is possible in an average day of surgery.
  • Your recovery time will depend on the extent of the surgery. Most patients report mild pain, numbness and soreness; this can be controlled with pain medication prescribed by your surgeon. It is common for hairs from the transplanted follicles to fall out in the first month and then regrow. Within 4 to 5 months, they should be growing normally in their new location.
  • Complications with hair transplant surgery are relatively uncommon. Potential hair restoration side effects may include scarring or uneven hair growth. If the results of the surgery are patchy or if the follicle grafts don't establish well at the new site, your surgeon may wish to perform a follow-up surgery to correct scarring or to transplant more follicles to fill in thinner areas.

Yes, for most people they do work. There is always some loss of hair in the transplanting process (i.e. some of the transplanted follicles do not grow in their new location) and a small percentage of patients (less than 10%) get a very poor result, but for most patients they do work. Obviously, the degree of success can vary depending on the surgeon.

However, although the transplant usually works, there are several significant limitations which it is important to understand (and which apply both to FUE and FUT):

First, if your hairloss is more than NW2, a transplant will not give you a full head

Obviously, the degree of success can vary depending on the surgeon.

However, although the transplant usually works, there are several significant limitations which it is important to understand (and which apply both to FUE and FUT):

First, if your hairloss is more than NW2, a transplant will not give you a full head of hair again. This is a simple matter of arithmetic. Your donor area is only a few square inches. If your bald area is also only a few square inches, then you would in theory be able to do a full density transplant in that bald area (ignoring any hair lost in the transfer process). But if your bald area is twice the size of your donor area (i.e. about NW3) the same amount of hair has to be spread out over twice the surface, so the density is only 50% of a normal head of hair. If your bald area is 4 times the size of your donor area (approximately NW4), the density of the transplant is only 25% of normal. At that sort of density level, the transplant will stop you looking bald, but you will still look thinning. If you stand under a strong light or in strong sunshine, your transplanted hair will be transparent, and your scalp will be very visible. It may be very obvious that you have had a transplant. You will probably need to use concealers (scalp make-up) to give an illusion of density to the transplanted hair. The pictures used in adverts for transplants conceal this reality, by using special lighting - the dense hair on the "after" photographs is not hair, but shadows of hair cast by the strong theatrical lighting. For the reasons described above, if your hairloss is more than NW4 it is not worth even considering a transplant.

Second, you should count on requiring more than one transplant. Even if the first transplant is a good success, as time goes by it will need to be topped up. More of your natural hair will fall out, and some of the transplanted hair will also fall out. The promotional literature says that transplanted hair is immune to the effects of male pattern baldness, but the reality is it still falls out eventually. If you have used transplanted hair to supplement your natural hairline, be aware that eventually the natural hairs are likely to disappear, leaving the transplanted hairs high and dry, and looking very obvious. There is also normally some pitting and unevenness in the skin under your transplant, so if the first transplanted hair falls out it can look bad, and you are likely to want to have a further transplant to keep it looking good. So don't use up all your donor hair on the first transplant - keep some back for repairs and top-ups.

Third, be careful about positioning your hairline too low. There is a natural relationship between the position of your hairline and the degree of recession of your side hair and temples. If you get a transplant which fixes your hairline where it was when you were 25, there is a good chance as you age your side hair will recede, leaving your transplanted hairline looking increasingly unbalanced and fake. Be conservative. You are going to be stuck with this hair pattern for several decades.

Fourth, be aware that most transplant surgeons advise you to keep on Finasteride of Minoxidil after your transplant in order to retain your hair. Make sure you are comfortable with that, and are not experiencing adverse side effects.

In general, cosmetic hair transplant involves removing healthy hair follicles (hair roots) from the “donor site” which is usually the back of the head which retains hair for the longest. Once the extracted hair follicles are properly processed the cosmetic surgeon uses a special surgical tool to make tiny, circular incisions in the “recipient site” where the hair loss is noticeable. These incisions are carefully placed according to the natural pattern of your hair. Within a short time, the hair follicles take hold and begin to grow new hair naturally.

Hair transplant is usually performed using any one of two methods, namely FUE or FUT. Let’s see the difference and advantages of each hair transplant technique:

FUE

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant technique is the more advanced hair transplant method. In FUE, the cosmetic surgeon will remove individual follicles from the donor area and then implant these into the recipient site.

FUT

The Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) hair transplant technique is the conventional way to make cosmetic hair transplant. In this, the cosmetic surgeon removes a strip of scalp with sufficient hair, usually from the back of the head. Next, the cosmetic surgeon diligently removes each hair follicle from the strip of scalp. Next, circular incisions are made in the recipient site where the individual hair follicles are then carefully planted.

Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves moving hair follicles from one part of the scalp to another. It is a common treatment for hair loss in both men and women.
The process of hair transplant for women typically involves the following steps:

Consultation: The first step is to have a consultation with a hair transplant surgeon to discuss your hair loss goals and determine if you are a good candidate for surgery.

Planning: The surgeon will then plan the procedure, which will include mapping out the donor and recipient areas.

Anesthesia: The donor area will be numbed with local anesthesia.

Hair follicle extraction: There are two main techniques for extracting hair follicles: follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE). In FUT, a strip of skin is removed from the donor area, and the hair follicles are then extracted from the strip. In FUE, individual hair follicles are extracted directly from the donor area.

Hair follicle preparation: The extracted hair follicles are then prepared for transplantation. This may involve trimming the hair follicles and creating tiny incisions in the recipient area.

Hair follicle implantation: The prepared hair follicles are then implanted into the recipient area. This is done using a variety of techniques, but the goal is to implant the hair follicles in a way that will create a natural-looking hairline.

Recovery: After the procedure, you will need to rest for a few days. You may also experience some swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with pain medication.

The success of hair transplantation depends on a number of factors, including:

The extent of your hair loss
The quality of your donor hair
The skill of your surgeon

After hair transplantation, you can expect to see new hair growth within a few months. However, it may take up to a year to see the full results of the procedure.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind about hair transplantation for women:

Women typically have a more diffuse pattern of hair loss than men, which means that they may need more grafts to achieve the desired results.
Women are also more likely to experience hair thinning along the part line, which can be a challenge to treat with hair transplantation.
Hair transplantation is not a cure for hair loss. However, it can be an effective way to restore hair density and improve the appearance of the scalp.

If you are considering hair transplantation, it is important to do your research and choose a qualified surgeon. You should also be realistic about your expectations and understand that the procedure may not completely restore your hair loss.
