What are the types of hair transplant? ● FUT: In this, surgical excision of a tiny patch of healthy hair from the back of the scalp is used for transplantation. After carefully removing the trichophytic band, the doctor precisely layers this over the required region on the scalp. Under a microscope, the hair follicles are arranged in groups of one to three, and the removed band is prepped to segregate the grafts. ● FUE: Automated hair jabs are utilized to extract hair follicles from the donor site. The recipient's bald region is then punctured, while the hair follicles are being transplanted under microscopic magnification. The treatment has the features of a speedy recovery, is sutureless , has less discomfort, and long benefits when compared to other approaches. ● Direct procedure: The main distinction between this method and FUE is that the follicles are transplanted immediately following harvesting, with no waiting period and limited exposure to the outside world. As a result, graft acceptability is enhanced. ● Combining FUT and FUE: If the donor area is in good health and a bigger region needs to be treated, the two procedures can be combined. There will be a noticeable increase in the number of hair follicles transplanted during sessions when applying both procedures at once. What happens during hair transplant procedure? ● The surgeon will first clean the scalp and provide anesthesia to sedate the back of the head.
