Hair transplantation: Hair from your own scalp at the back is taken out and would be implanted on your bald area of scalp. The fine transplanted hair is resistant to hormones and won’t fall off. These transferred follicles develop blood supply from the recipient site and can grow naturally.
- More natural-looking results
- Superior coverage
- More effective results for gray or light colored hair.
- Hair transplant success rates of more than 95 percent
Hair follicles are typically Harvested using one of these two techniques:
- Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation (FUT): Hair units are removed from a donor strip that has been excised from the donor area.
- Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): Individual hair units are removed directly from the donor area by a micro-punch individually, follicle by follicle, and transplanted to thinning areas.
An FUE hair transplant does not leave a linear scar.
It is particularly indicated if:
- Donor site healed poorly after previous procedures and wish to camouflage scars
- Have a very tight scalp, which may make you a poor candidate for STRIP TECHNIQUE.
A physician can help you determine which method is best for you, or if a combination of both will give you the results you desire.

In transplant procedures, there is a small risk that some of the grafts won’t “take.” Although it is normal for the hair contained within the plugs to fall out before establishing regrowth in its new location, sometimes the hair follicle dies and surgery must be repeated.
Hair loss can also progress after surgery, due to continued Hormone influence and an unnatural, “patchy” look may result-especially if the newly-placed hair lies next to patches of hair that continue to thin out. If this happens, additional surgery may be required.
Immediate issues : Swelling, pain , discomfort,infection,bleeding and drug allergy might happen but are usually could be well managed by experienced hair transplant surgeon.
