TYPES OF HAIR TRANSPLANT PROCEDURES/ Treatments for Hair Loss:
1. FOLLICULAR UNIT EXTRACTION (FUE)
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplantation method at Mayfair’s hair transplant clinic in Ahmedabad is a process where individual hair follicles are harvested from donor site (back of the head, the area which usually never go bald) and transplanted into the area of thinning/ baldness. Each hair unit consists of approximate one to four hairs. Follicles are implanted aesthetically at a very definite angle & pattern which gives natural looking hairline. The whole process takes place under local anesthesia and is carried out without causing any damage to the skin or existing hair at the recipient site.
The patient can see no visible signs of surgery as the scalp heals faster. This option is preferred by those people who don’t want visible scarring or by those clients who intend to have very short hairstyles.
2. FOLLICULAR UNIT TRANSFER (FUT)
In this surgical technique, a strip of skin containing permanent hair instead of individual hair follicles from donor areas at the back or sides of the head. The surgeon then harvests the individual hair follicle (comprising of 1-4 hairs) and transplants these hairs into the area of hair thinning or baldness.
When performed by a Qualified Plastic Surgeon, scar is very thin & with the latest TRYCHOPHYTIC CLOSURE TECHNIQUE done by plastic surgeons, hair grow through the scar which makes it inconspicuous.
This technique is preferred when graft requirement is high (3000-4000) & for patients with curly hair.
