Hair transplantation is a medical and cosmetic procedure to replace lost or thinning hair on the back of the head. In this procedure, healthy hair follicles are removed from the donor area (usually the back of the head or next to the ear) and transplanted into bald or thinning areas to create a natural, fuller appearance.
The most important things that can prevent hair transplantation are:
The FUT method, or follicular unit transplantation, is one of the oldest techniques in hair transplantation. In this method, a thin strip of skin is removed from the back of the scalp and its follicles are separated under a microscope. The grafts are then implanted in the thinning or balding area. The advantages of this method include high density, lower cost, and good quality of follicles, while its disadvantages include the scar line remaining on the back of the head, a longer recovery period, and the possibility of postoperative pain.
In the FUE method, sometimes called FIT, follicles are removed from the hair bank in individual units with a fine instrument or micromotor. This technique does not require stitches and the scar is very small. Natural appearance, low bleeding, suitability for hair transplantation in eyebrows and beards are some of the advantages of FUE hair transplantation, and its disadvantages are as follows: long operation time, higher cost, possibility of damage to the follicles during harvesting.
The DHI method is a more advanced version of FUE. In this technique, special pens (Choi Pen) are used to directly implant follicles and there is no need to create previous channels in the skin. The advantages of DHI hair transplantation are that it is performed more delicately and has a shorter recovery period, but this method is relatively expensive.
SUT is one of the newest hair transplant methods in Tehran, performed with the help of an automatic machine. In this method, up to 14,000 hairs can be transplanted in one session. The advantages of SUT hair transplant include high speed, high density, no need for surgery or stitches, and very little pain and bleeding. Its disadvantages include the possibility of temporary swelling in the forehead area after the procedure.
These methods are improved versions of FIT, performed with more advanced instruments. The harvesting and implantation of follicles is done with greater precision, and the final result has a very natural appearance. These two methods are introduced with advantages such as higher density, natural appearance and short recovery period, and disadvantages such as the length of the implantation session and the need for multiple sessions to completely cover the baldness.
In patients who do not have enough hair from their scalp, hair from other parts of the body, such as the beard, chest, or shoulders, is used. This procedure is known as BHT or Body Hair Transplant. Since the type and condition of body hair is different from scalp hair, the final result of this procedure is not always satisfactory.
In the early days, the transplanted follicles should adapt to the scalp. During this time, the transplant site should not be scratched or manipulated, as there is a risk of damaging the grafts.
Transplanted hair shedding at this stage is normal and indicates that the follicles have entered a new growth cycle. This shedding does not mean that the procedure has failed; it is part of the success of the transplant.
New hair begins to grow but is thin, short, and sparse. At this time, only half of the final result may be seen.
Most of the new hairs appear and become thicker. The growth rate at this stage reaches the same rate as natural hair, about 1 to 2 centimeters per month.
