Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation
The principal behind hair transplant surgery stems from the permanency of some hair. While some hair on your scalp has a transient life span, other hair tends to endure for a lifetime. It was found that permanent hair could be moved to any part of the body where it can continue to grow and behave as if it were still in its original site.
Hair transplant is a safe, minor surgical procedure that involves removing donor hair from the back or sides of the scalp (donor area) and placing them into the bald or thinning areas of the scalp (recipient area).
Hair transplantation can be performed in two different techniques:
- The “Strip Harvesting Technique” which involves removing a strip containing a large group of follicular units from the donor area
The “
Follicular Unit Extraction” (FUE) Technique", which involves removing one follicular unit at a time directly from the donor area.
