What are hair transplant
you can restore your hair, your self-esteem, and your self-confidence. The result of the procedure is totally natural and may be completely undetectable. But wait, choosing the right doctor with the right skill set is critical.
Now, hair transplant physicians can work with different techniques to uproot and transplant large numbers of hair follicles called follicular units. There are two main techniques currently in use for hair transplantation. The FUE, Follicular Unit Extraction; and the FUT, Follicular Unit Transplantation techniques. They vary mainly in the manner hair follicles uprooted from the donor area

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
In an FUE hair transplant procedure. each follicular unit is independently uprooted from the scalp with no strip of tissue being removed.
Hair follicles will randomly uproot, decreasing hair density in the donor area that many say is hardly observable. This is the major distinction between FUE and FUT procedure.

Generally, the hair transplant physician follows these steps to perform a FUT:
1. The donor area is mark and anesthetize.
2. The custom-built micro-removal instrument isolates individual follicular units. Note that the surrounding tissue is particularly unaffected. See figures below.
3. Follicular units removed with utmost care. The donor area will heal within a week. See figure below.
4. The recipient area is anesthetized. Then your physician will create small puncture sites to receive the grafts, positioning them in a predetermined pattern and density, and angling the punctures in a uniformed way so the hair pattern will appear realistic.
5. The donor’s hairs are put in. See figures below
6. The recipient area will heal within a week

Hair Transplant – Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) is an approach where the hair transplanted from the permanent zone. The region in the back and sides of the scalp where the hair is more resistant against balding, to the bald or balding areas of the scalp.
This can achieve by using naturally occurring clusters of 1, 2, 3, or 4 hairs, called follicular units. After the patient’s scalp anesthetized. The physician removes a strip of tissue from the donor area.
An area within the permanent zone, and, once extracted. The donor strip slivered into several independent follicular units by means of microscopic dissection techniques.

As these follicular unit grafts readied, the physician makes a small incision in the scalp, called recipient sites, where the grafts are placed.
The arrangement and positioning of these follicular unit grafts dictate the aesthetic qualities of a hair transplant. Therefore, an arrangement needs to decide on a case-by-case basis. And according to the patient’s history of hair loss and probability of future hair loss. For the simple reason that follicular unit transplants mimic the manner in which hair grows in nature. The results will appear absolutely natural and be indistinguishable from one’s original hair.
