What Is A Hair Transplant?
Hair Transplant is a surgical treatment for male and female pattern hair loss which helps in transplanting extremely natural looking follicular units rather than plugs as was done in the past.
Hair loss is a natural, yet an unfortunate part of life for many, especially men. It can impact you physically and lower your self-confidence to a great extent. Getting a hair transplant is like getting a new lease to life altogether.
We want to look our presentable best at all times and most importantly on a certain important function, and Hair Transplant treatment can help fulfill it. Hair transplant surgery is seeing an upsurge – but what does the procedure actually involve, what are the risks, and are there alternatives? Here, we explain everything you need to know…
There are two main techniques used to obtain follicles for transplantation: FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction).
Cost Of Hair Transplant Treatment?
The cost of a hair transplant is highly variable on a number of different factors, and typically averages from Rs.40-60 per graft for FUT and Rs.40 per graft for FUE. There are a number of factors that can influence the costing, including:
- The type of hair transplant (FUE hair transplant vs FUT hair transplant)
- The extent of your hair loss which determines the number of grafts.
- The quality of your hair loss clinic.
- The expertise of the surgeon.
Steps For FUT:
- A scalpel will be used to cut out a strip of your scalp skin from the back of your head, it is then closed by suturing.
- The next step is to separate the hair grafts from the removed portion of the scalp using a magnifying lens and a surgical knife. These grafts are then implanted for natural looking hair growth.
Steps For FUE:
- During FUE, the hair follicles are extracted from the back of the head through thousands of tiny punches.
- Then tiny punch hole incisions are made with a needle wherein the surgeon gently places the hair grafts in the holes.
