A hair transplant is the best and long-lasting solution to your hair loss problem. Transplanting one's own individual healthy hair follicles containing 3 to 4 hairs ( instead of cutting strips of skin with hair ) into areas with hair loss provides a long-term solution. Hair is taken mostly from the back or sides of your scalp. Only individual hair follicles are pulled out with micro-instruments. Here is the steps by step procedure:
Step 01 - Design
The new hairline is designed keeping the existing hairline and the desired results in mind. The projected number of grafts are included to create a natural looking hairline.
Step 02 - Anaesthesia
A local anaesthesia is applied to the donor and recipient areas of the scalp to keep the patient comfortable during the procedure.
Step 03 - Site Making
Sites are created in the scalp by making incisions where the graft will be implanted. Individual hair follicles are removed from the donor area and placed in the sites.
Step 04 - Extraction
The hair grafts are excised from the donor area and then counted and prepared for implantation.
Step 05 - Implantation
The hair grafts are placed in the sites created by the surgeon. Hair follicles are strategically placed to match the natural curvature of the patient’s hair.
Men who suffer from male pattern baldness and have an adequate and consistent supply of donor hair in the back of the scalp are typically considered most suitable candidates for hair transplant procedures. Women who experience hair loss and thinning hair as a result of an injury or burns are also good candidates along with people who do not have sufficient hair from the time of birth.
Your hair transplant should not cause you any pain as it is performed with the assistance of modern local anaesthetics. At AKJ Skin and Laser Centre, we make it a priority to ensure that our patients remain calm and at ease throughout the entirety of their hair transplant procedure. Patients can sleep, listen to music, or watch television during the process.
Small scabs will begin to form on the scalp at the grafted site immediately following surgery. However, these scabs will fall off between four and ten days after the procedure. The grafted hair will begin to fall out approximately two to four weeks after the procedure. After three to four months, you should start to see new hair growth, which should continue at a rate of about half an inch per month after that. In nine to twelve months, one can anticipate seeing the complete result.
The total cost of your procedure will be determined not only by the technique of hair transplantation you select but also by the number of grafts required to address your issues.
Your hair transplantation may be nearly undetectable thanks to recent technological advancements and improvements in surgical techniques. The most recent developments in hair restoration procedures make it possible to transplant individual hair follicles into the scalp in such a way as to produce a natural hairline with a growth pattern that is similar to that of the rest of your hair.
The best people to advise you on whether or not to continue maintenance therapy after surgery are your doctors. To help you maintain the results of your hair restoration, we may recommend taking medications for hair loss or undergoing low-level laser therapy.
