What is a Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure where hair follicles are moved from one part of your body (called the ‘donor site’) to thinning or balding areas (the ‘recipient site’). This treatment can be used to restore hair on the scalp, eyebrows, beard, and even to cover scars.
Types of Hair Transplant Procedures
- Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): This method involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area, from which individual follicular units are dissected and transplanted to the recipient area. FUT can be ideal for patients needing a large number of grafts.
- Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles directly from the donor area and implanting them into the recipient area. This technique leaves minimal scarring and has a quicker recovery time.
- Combination Technique (FUT + FUE): Involves both the procedures.
