Hair Transplant Surgery

Hair Transplant Surgery

Redistributes hair from donor areas to balding areas.

Overview

Hair transplant surgery is a permanent solution to hair loss, involving the redistribution of hair from donor areas (usually the back of the head) to balding areas.

The two primary techniques used are Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE).

FUT involves removing a strip of skin with hair follicles, while FUE extracts individual follicles for transplantation. The procedure is highly effective for restoring hairline density and addressing advanced hair loss.

Recovery typically takes a few days to a week, and results are natural-looking and long-lasting, with significant growth visible after 6 to 12 months.
