Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves moving healthy hair follicles from the back of your head to the bald or thinning areas. It can give you a fuller, thicker head of hair that looks natural. It can also help restore your confidence and self-esteem by reducing your baldness. It isn’t a miracle cure for hair loss and it can take several months to see your results. Depending on your hair growth cycle, more than one treatment may be needed to achieve your desired result. If you have very thin, light-coloured hair, it will be harder to get good results than if you had thicker or darker hair to begin with.
You can choose from two types of surgery: follicular unit transplant (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE). In FUT, your surgeon removes a strip of hair-bearing scalp from the back of your head. They then use a scalpel to cut the strip into smaller sections, called follicular units. They remove each follicular unit one by one and then transplant them to the balding or thinning area of your scalp. The surgeon then sutures the donor site. This leaves a scar in the back of your head, but it isn’t as noticeable as other types of scars.부산모발이식
For FUE, your doctor uses a special tube-like instrument to puncture small holes in the skin. They then insert follicular units from the removed strip into the puncture sites. Your doctor may use either a needle or scalpel to do this. Your doctor may use more than 2,000 follicular units during a single session of hair transplantation.
After the surgery, your surgeon will cover your scalp with gauze or a bandage. The surgical site will be sore, but most people can return to work within a few days. You can manage pain with over-the-counter drugs like paracetamol and ibuprofen.
Hair transplantation is a very safe and effective procedure, but there are some risks. Your doctor will explain these to you before your procedure.
The most common risk is that some of the transplanted hair follicles won’t survive. Your doctor will do everything they can to ensure this doesn’t happen, including ensuring the grafts are placed in the right area and that your hair grows at a normal rate.
The other risks of hair transplantation are rare but include bleeding, infection, scarring and unnatural-looking new hair growth. It’s important to choose a clinic that is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and has a medical practitioner who is licensed by the General Medical Council. It’s also a good idea to avoid black-market clinics or those that operate abroad.부산탈모병원
