Here, we are discussing hair transplants in general. Basically a “hair transplant” is a surgical technique to remove hair follicles from a part of the body where there are healthy and are in abundance, so from there the follicles are taken and then transplanted to the area of need. The place where the follicles are taken is known as “Donor Area” and this could be like Back of the scalp Beard Chest and other body hair sometimes pubic and axillary hair also.
The area where the hair is finally transplanted is known as the “Recipient area”. Counseling is the part, where the surgeon tries to assist the patient’s knowledge, discuss it with him/ her. Preferably tells him/her what is expected, what is the susceptible density, he (the surgeon) tries to know about the drugs or local applications a patient was using, to fight hair loss, he so examines the donor area and the recipient area under a microscope also.
Methods- Most of the hair transplant in Pune are performed as per the situation of the patient under potent local anesthesia. There are two methods:
(1)FUHT
(2)FUE
FUHT- Method is also called “strip method” a surgeon takes a strip of hair from the donor area which could be 1 to 2 cm broad and 20 to 28 cm long. This method leaves a scar at the donor area and is comparatively more painful than the other method. Another method is FUE. In this method needle (CALLED FUE Punch) is used to dissect out the follicles from the donor area this method is less painful and comparatively leaves lesser scars. Follicular unit extraction
