Description

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves moving hair follicles from one part of the body (typically the back or sides of the scalp, known as the “donor site”) to a bald or thinning area (the “recipient site”). It's primarily used to treat male pattern baldness, but it can also be effective for some types of female hair loss or hair loss due to injury or other medical conditions. 🔍 Types of Hair Transplants FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) A strip of scalp is removed from the donor area. Hair follicles are then extracted from the strip and implanted into the recipient area. Leaves a linear scar but can yield many grafts in a single session. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Individual follicles are extracted directly from the donor area. Less invasive with minimal scarring (tiny dot scars). Longer procedure but faster healing time. DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) (a variation of FUE) Uses a special pen-like tool (Choi Implanter Pen) for direct implantation. Offers more precision in angle and depth, but is more expensive. ✅ Pros Permanent results. Natural look and feel. Boosts self-confidence. Minimal downtime (especially with FUE). ❌ Cons Expensive ($4,000 to $15,000 depending on location and clinic). Multiple sessions might be needed. Risk of infection or scarring. Results take 6–12 months to fully appear. 🧬 Ideal Candidates Men with male pattern baldness. Women with thinning hair (localized, not diffuse thinning). People with hair loss due to burns or trauma. Those with realistic expectations. 🧼 Aftercare Avoid touching the scalp for a few days. No strenuous activity or sweating. Use prescribed shampoo and meds. Sleep with your head elevated.
