What is a Hair Transplant?

A hair transplant is an advanced surgical treatment for people who suffer from acute hair loss. Serious hair loss conditions are irreversible with natural methods in most cases. That leaves hair transplant as the most effective option available that comes very close to natural regrowth of hair. Hair transplants have become a highly popular and accepted form of treatment in recent years with the advancements in transplant techniques.

The first step in the hair transplant process is creating a customized treatment plan or transplant strategy. It involves a detailed evaluation of the type and pattern of the patient’s hair. Once the evaluation is completed, the hair transplant surgeon will decide on one or more of the following surgical treatments:

* Follicular Unit Transplant
* Multi Unit Transplant
* Follicular Unit Extraction

The follicular unit transplant procedure should be performed by a highly experienced and preferably board certified transplant surgeon only. The procedure involves the transplantation of single follicle units, which means the surgeon will need to have a great degree of precision, patience and artistry to achieve the best results.

The multi unit grafting procedure is a modified form of the follicular unit transplant. In this case, instead of single follicles, multiple follicles are captured together in a single graft. This helps to achieve a superior hair density in the affected area.

The follicular unit extraction procedure is most appropriate for patients with short hair styles. The surgeon makes use of a tiny surgical punch to remove follicular units and transplants them in the target area.

There is minimal scarring in all hair transplant procedures. The transplant is a highly successful technique that is transforming the personalities of many balding people around the world.
