Hair Transplant Therapy in Apollo Cosmetic Clinic

Hair Transplant / Restoration

Hair Transplantation involves removing small pieces of hair-bearing scalp grafts from a donor site and relocating to a bald or thinning area. The Truth about hair loss Baldness is often blamed on poor circulation to the scalp, vitamin deficiencies, dandruff and even excessive hat-wearing. All of these theories have been disproved. It’s also untrue that hair loss can be determined by looking at your maternal grandfather or that 40-years-old men who haven’t lost their hair will never lose it. Hair loss is primarily caused by a combination of:

·         Aging/A change in hormones/ Family history of baldness.

As a rule, the earlier hair loss begins the more servers the baldness will become. Hair loss also can cause by burns or trauma, in which case hair replacement surgery is considered a reconstructive treatment, and may be covered by health insurance.

·         FUE doesn’t leave a linear scare, it may be appropriate for patients who want to wear their hair very short. It is also an advantage for those involved in very strenuous activities, such as professional athletes, who must resume these activities very soon after their procedure.

·         The technique is also useful for those who have healed poorly from traditional strip harvesting or who have a very tight scalp. FUE also allows the surgeon to potentially remove hair from parts of the body other than the donor scalp, such as the beard or trunk, although there are many limitations with the process.

·         Possibly the most straight- forward application of this technique is to camouflage a linear donor scar from a prior hair transplant procedure. In this technique, a small amount of hair is extracted from the area around a linear donor scar and then placed directly into it.

Some patients desire FUE simply because they heard that FUE is less invasive than FUT or is non-surgical. The reality is that both procedures involve surgery and in both cases the depth of the incisions (i.e. into the fat layer right below the hair follicles) is the same. The difference is in the type of incision made. In FUE there is multiple round incisions scattered diffusely through the donor area and in FUT there is one single, long incision in the middle of the donor area. FUE should be chosen if the multiple round incisions are preferred and not because the technique is “non-surgical”.
