Hair Transplant is done to cure receding hairline or baldness in men and women. Male pattern hair loss is the most common cause of baldness caused by genetic predisposition.  Male hormone testosterone action on the hair root causes baldness in men. It is a normal process, but, loosing hair earlier in life can make one look aged and result in stress, anxiety and tension. In women, the reasons for hair loss vary from androgenetic alopecia to PCOD or thyroid imbalance.

The treatment or hair loss involves medications and topical therapy to prevent further progress of baldness. However, if a hair follicle is lost, Hair Transplant is the only option available to restore the hairline.

Hair Transplant Techniques

1. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) is a hair transplant technique in which a thin strip of skin is removed from the back of the head surgically. The hair follicles are then divided into individuals units. The donor area is then stitched together.  Hair follicles are implanted by creating reception incisions or holes in the treatment area and placing hair follicles with forceps. FUT technique leaves a noticeable scar on the donor area.
2. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is the most prevalent hair transplant technique in which a hair follicle or group of hair follicles are removed by making a circular cut in the skin around it by using a punch. This leaves small open holes in the scalp that turn into tiny white scars. FUE scars are less visible than FUT scars. Hair follicles are implanted the same way as in the FUT technique.
