Hair loss problems can be caused by several different reasons. While the process is curable and reversible in many cases, there are instances when new hair growth refuses to grow due to permanent damage to follicles and the scalp. Hair Transplantation comes to the rescue in such situations.
Thanks to modern technology, hair transplant surgery has made hair restoration possible. However, before opting for a hair transplant, one must know which hair transplant treatment is the most suitable for them. There are various hair transplant surgeries being offered by different clinics and doctors.
Scalp reduction is one of the earliest hair transplantation methods. During this process, the scalp from the balding area is surgically removed. Most of the time, the area removed is from the crown or the top of the head.
Post-removal, the scalp area that bears hair is stretched over to cover and replace the patch that has been removed.
The process is suitable mainly for people who have a good quantity of hair on the back and sides of the scalp. Today, though, scalp reduction is not often used due to the more advanced FUE and FUT hair transplant procedures.
FUT stands for Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation which takes place through an intrusive medium. Follicular units are hair groupings as they occur naturally on the scalp and typically contain 1, 2, 3, or 4 hairs. It begins with the doctor cutting a strip of tissue from the scalp, before cutting it into thousands of follicular units.
These units are then strategically placed around the head after the doctor has created holes with recipient sites around the affected bald areas. By means of the removal of a thin strip of scalp from the back of the patient’s head, hair follicles are taken from a donor area that is not susceptible to balding and dissected into individual grafts.
They are then transplanted to the balding area of the scalp. As one can probably assume from the above, FUT is a very complicated technique although it has the potential for some very fulfilling results.
The other method is the FUE method of hair transplantation, Follicular Unit Extraction. It involves taking the individual Follicular Unit grafts from the back of the head one by one by cutting around it through a tiny specialized instrument or robotic machine and removing the hair follicles.
The process can be tedious and will take a few hours but is painless after a few numbing injections are given. Once removed from the donor area, the follicular unit is then transplanted.
