Bald people can undergo hair graft procedures and can restore their natural look. This makes bald people look beautiful in a world full of joys. However, persons who have lost their hair because of chemotherapy should not undergo this treatment. What is the best in your case; you may contact or search for a reputed hair transplant clinic on the internet and get help from an expert.



 


Many hair graft procedures are available for patients who are facing baldness. These include the Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT), Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), Robotic, and Hybrid, Neo-graft or Laser transplants. The physician first examines whether the patient fits the criteria of undergoing the treatment. Then the doctor examines whether the patient has enough donor site for the transplant or not. In men, the donor site can be any of these either the backside of the scalp or beard or chest hair. While in females, the physician can take only from the backside of the scalp as the donor site. Before undergoing the surgery, the physician advises the person to take some precautionary measures to avoid any complications during the surgery. Alcohol drinking and smoking should be avoided before a few weeks and a few days respectively. Smoking is injurious to health and also hinders the blood supply to the area of the scalp where treatment is performed. Alcohol also causes problem either bleeding problems or some other complications. Just before undergoing the treatment, the medical professional applies local anaesthesia to the scalp. Once again thanks to modern technology, as in previous times the general anaesthesia was given but now only the localized part is numbed by the local anaesthesia.

 

If the FUT of hair graft procedure is undergoing, then the physician cuts the skin strip and then closes the area with the stitches. This strip is then placed in the recipient area. This surgery usually leaves a linear scar as the incision is made. If the FUE method is undergoing then the physician extracts follicles from the donor site and then separates these follicles and then implants these on the recipient site, making a small incision using the microneedles. In a hybrid type of treatment, the physician performs both FUT and FUE simultaneously in a single session of surgery. In the robotic type of surgery, the ARTAS robots perform the treatment. The robot analyzes the scalp with cameras installed on it and has a multidimensional view. Then the robot takes the follicles and using algorithms and software separates these follicles and then grafts them on the recipient area. In the Neograft procedure of transplant, the wand is used to extract the follicles using vacuum techniques and then implant to the recipient site using the same procedure.

 

There are some of the side effects of one of the hair graft procedures. In FUT, the linear scar is left in the incised area. However, in other procedures, there is no linear scar in the donor area. These are the least invasive procedures and therefore have no scarring problems. There are some mild problems like itching, swelling or discomfort. Occasionally, the patient feels pain but this pain shortly resolves after some time. The anaesthesia may cause numbness for some time which also resolves after taking certain medications. The treatment cost varies, depending on different factors like the number of grafts to be placed, skills of trained physicians and country, city or place where the clinic is located. The cost per graft is charged in most of the clinics and it varies from 0.50$ to 4.00$. However, multiple session surgeries may cost up to $50,000. Also, the number of grafts in a single session of surgery moved is almost 2,000 to 3,000.
