Hair loss is a very common problem that can affect the age group across the spectrum. When conservative management is not giving benefit and the indication is there then Hair Transplant comes into the picture. Hair transplant is a surgical procedure for hair restoration for men and women. The hair transplant procedure restores hair by transplanting grafts (hair follicles) from the donor area to the bald area (recipient area). Grafts or hair follicles can be extracted using two methods FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation).
In FUE, the doctor takes individual follicles from the donor area and transplants them to the bald area. For the extraction, micro punches are used. This is a relatively painless procedure. This method has a faster recovery and for the people who don`t want cuts, stitches on the scalp and wants to have hairstyles of short hair.
In FUT, the doctor or surgeon cut a strip of scalp from the donor area and dissect them into individual grafts under magnification. There may be a feeling of tightness on the scalp. There will be a visible linear scar.
Now the question arises if hair transplant is a permanent solution to hair loss? The answer is yes, Hair transplant is permanent if it is done on the healthy scalp and the patient is not suffering from any other medical disorder causing hair loss. The permanent hair-bearing area or the donor area is resistant to DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) which is the hormone responsible for hair loss. DHT plays a vital role in male pattern baldness. Once after recovery, the hair will remain in the same place for the rest of one`s life.
