transplantation is a surgical procedure performed on
men and women who have experienced significant hair
loss. It helps to correct androgenetic alopecia, scarring
alopecia and other types of permanent
alopecia. In some cases, patients with hair loss
from lupus, injuries, or other
medical problems may be treated with hair transplantation.
In a nutshell, hair transplantation involves transferring
hair grafts (skin and hair follicle units of 1 to 4
hairs extracted from a single donor strip) from the
back and sides of your head (the donor area) to balding
or thinning areas where you would like new hair to grow.

Surgical transplantation of the hair follicle is a remarkably
simple outpatient procedure. The distinguishing quality

a technology in which the transplant takes place in
the most natural manner to provide maximum density.
typical hair transplant procedure has at least six steps:
1.
Consultation
The consultation is perhaps the most important step
for the individual. The information exchanged during
this meeting will outline your goals and expectations
for the outcome of the procedure. The information you
receive during this consultation is the only factor
you have in choosing either the right clinic or the
wrong clinic for you.
2. Blood Tests
Once you have decided on a clinic and scheduled an appointment,
most clinics require blood tests to be performed.
3. Anesthesia
After your blood tests are confirmed, the doctor begins
the procedure. Each clinic will give you certain instructions
to follow before your surgery, which will probably include
not taking an aspirin product before the surgery, and
other instructions. Using a local anesthesia, the doctor
will numb the recipient area and donor area. This is
the only time patients will feel pain, which can range
from a mild discomfort for some patients to painful
for others. Women tend to endure this step better then
men due to their higher capacity for pain.
4. Extraction of donor hair
Once the anesthesia has taken affect, the doctor can
remove the donor hair grafts, which is done using one
of two methods in common practice today.
The single strip harvest method is the traditional and
most widely used method. The donor strip is then carefully
divided into follicular units under a microscope and
surgical light. In order to remove this strip, you will
have to lie on your stomach so doctors can get a topside
view of your donor area.
The Follicular Unit Extraction method is another technique
some doctors used to harvest donor hair. In this labor-intensive
technique, doctors use a small punch-like circular scalpel
to remove follicular units one at a time.
5.
Implanting of donor hair
Following the suturing of your donor area or the Follicular
Unit Extraction step, you will recline comfortably in
the surgery chair as the medical team begins preparing
your hair loss affected area for the follicular unit
hair grafts to be implanted. This step involves making
tiny incisions with a small-gauged scalpel in the recipient
area. These tiny incisions are where your scalp will
receive the new grafts of hair. It’s during this
step in the hair transplant process that the experience
and care of the doctor are most needed. The pattern
in which the grafts are implanted must appear natural
and care is taken by the doctor to ensure blood flow
to the new grafts. Depending on the number of grafts
you are having implanted, the entire procedure can last
from 2 to 4 hours.
6.
Post operative care
Once the medical team has finished implanting the grafts,
the procedure is basically over with. Your doctor will
write you prescriptions for pain, swelling and infection
and give you careful instructions on how to take care
so that you do not damage the newly implanted hair grafts.
After the surgery, the patient can return to normal
activities, but strenuous activities should be avoided
in the first few days.

Initially the newly implanted grafts will scab as they
heal and then fall out. However, do not worry when they
fall out because they have gone into the dormant stage
of the normal hair growth cycle. The new hair will start
growing after about three months and you may have to
wait 3 to 6 to up to 12 months for your new hair to
start growing in. The results are more than 90% and
the new hair are naturally growing permanent
