Frequently Asked Questions
A hair transplant is a surgical technique in which healthy hair follicles are taken from one part of the scalp (the donor site) and put into another part that is thinning or balding (the recipient site). FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) are two methods that are often employed.
The steps in the procedure are: Preparing the Donor Area: Hair follicles are taken from the back or sides of the head. Preparing the Recipient Area: Small cuts are made in the area that is losing hair. Follicle Implantation: To make the hair look natural, hair follicles are put in one at a time.
Ideal candidates include: People who are losing hair or have bald spots. People who have a steady donor area, which means they have enough good hair. Patients are generally healthy.
FUE: After making cuts in the area where the hair will go, follicles are taken out and put back in. DHI: Follicles are put directly into the skin with a special implanter pen, without any cuts being made ahead of time. Both procedures are not very invasive and give natural results.
The duration depends on the number of grafts needed: Small sessions: 4–6 hours. Larger sessions: Up to 8–10 hours.
