Hair Transplant is a cosmetic procedure in which hair follicles from your healthy side of scalp are taken and then transplanted to the bald area or where the hair growth is less.

Here are some key details about hair transplant treatment:

Types of Hair Transplant:

• • Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): Involves removing a strip of skin from the donor area, dissecting it into individual follicular units, and transplanting them to the recipient area.
  • Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): Involves extracting individual hair follicles directly from the donor area and transplanting them to the recipient site. FUE is less invasive and leaves minimal scarring.

Candidates: Hair transplant is suitable for individuals with pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia), hair thinning, or hair loss due to injury or scarring. It may not be suitable for those with certain medical conditions or diffuse hair loss.

Consultation: A thorough consultation with a hair transplant specialist is crucial to determine the appropriate technique, assess donor hair availability, and set realistic expectations.

Procedure: The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia, and the duration depends on the number of grafts to be transplanted. FUT leaves a linear scar, while FUE results in small, circular scars that are less noticeable.

Recovery: Patients can usually return to their normal activities within a few days to a week. Some post-operative care and precautions are necessary to ensure proper healing.

Results: Hair growth from the transplanted follicles typically starts several months after the procedure and continues to improve over time. Full results may take up to a year to become apparent.

Risks and Side Effects: Like any surgical procedure, hair transplant carries risks such as infection, scarring, and graft failure. Swelling, discomfort, and temporary shock loss (shedding of existing hair) can also occur.

Maintenance: To maintain the results of a hair transplant, some patients may require additional sessions or use medications like minoxidil or finasteride to prevent further hair loss.

Cost: The cost of a hair transplant varies depending on factors such as the technique used. Approximately, its price starts from 70000 PKR to 250000 PKR.

Long-Term Benefits: A successful hair transplant can provide a natural-looking, permanent solution to hair loss, enhancing a person’s appearance and self-confidence.

It’s essential to consult with a qualified and experienced hair transplant surgeon to determine whether the procedure is suitable for your specific needs and to understand the potential risks and benefits.
