Hair transplant procedures are used from the beginning of the 1950s and originated out of the USA. However, these methods have changed and advanced to a large extent during early 20th Century. The two most popular techniques of hair transplantation in the present are Follicular Unit (Strip) Transplant (FUT) or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE).

• Follicular Unit (Strip) Transplant

The main idea behind FUT is to use the hair of a large patch and implant it on larger scalp patches that are bald. The procedure is performed by following the steps:

Our surgeons first pick healthy donor locations on the scalp that have moderately thick hair growth that is easily concealed in the hair. Based on the size of the area to be eliminated Anesthesia is then sprayed on the scalp to ease discomfort during the procedure.

In order to begin the surgical procedure, the surgeon removes a continuous graft with a an exact size of 6 to 10 inches away from the scalp’s donor area without harming the hair follicles, or the skin tissue adjacent to it.

The wound at the donor site is then quickly sealed and sutured to avoid the spread of infection till it heals.This massive scalp graft is then transferred to an nourishing fluid that keeps it alive. The graft is then carefully separated into smaller units or patches that have a variety of hair follicles based on the type of hair you have quality, color, and the dimensions of the region which is covered.
Microscopically-sized pores are made on the site of recipient in preparation for implant and the follicles are carefully placed on top of the pores to create hair follicles.

• Follicular Unit Extraction

Also called the follicular isolation technique (FIT) Here the concept is to take hair follicles from individual hairs which can then be transplanted into the desired manner to produce more even and fuller-looking hair all over the head.

Then, the appropriate donor site is identified then local anaesthesia is used to ease the discomfort by the procedure. The donor’s bald area is prepared for transplant by creating needle-sized pores that are precisely spaced.

Utilizing an instrument called a micro punch that is less than a millimetre The surgeon removes the hair follicle that is healthy. The follicle is then inserted in a specific pore of the site of recipient at a particular angle.
This procedure is repeated until the desired amount of hair follicles have been transferred over the area of baldness to ensure that hair is evenly spaced.
