Hair transplant is a surgery that is often used to regrow hair on a bald or balding patch. It does not give you new hair follicles rather, shifts them to a bald area. The surgery is performed on outpatient basis in a hair transplant clinic and you are free to go home immediately. Hair transplant comes under surgical hair restoration and is sometimes taken as an alternative for medical hair restoration, the use of medicines for hair loss issues.
The Procedure of Hair Transplant
The surgeon decides the exact area from the back of the scalp which will be used as donor site; area which donates hair follicles. After that, he identifies the area which needs hair growth and may draw some lines to make the area distinct where hair follicles are to be planted, the recipient site.The procedure of hair transplant surgery in Dubai can be divided into two distinct phases, extraction of hair follicles and plantation of hair follicles. The surgeon takes out hair follicles from the back of the scalp and collects them carefully in a chemical. This chemical mimics natural environment to ensure that they do not die outside the human body. Once sufficient number of hair follicles is extracted, the surgeon announces a 20-25 minutes break. The patient is allowed to take light refreshment, use washroom and walk around.During the next phase, the surgeon makes tiny holes in the recipient site and plants hair follicles in these tiny holes. Once all the hair follicles are planted, the surgery ends.
The Result of the Surgery
Result of the surgery is not visible immediately transplanted hair follicles take time they attach themselves to local blood supply. Before that, shock loss occurs due to trauma that surrounding cells have to bear because of surgery. Shock loss causes your treated area to lose all the hair in that area. However, it is temporary and hairs are grown within two to three months.Hairs grown from transplanted hair follicles are permanent because the surgery transfers only balding resistant hair follicles which grow hair through the rest of your life.
