In hair transplant, the hair is transplanted from other parts of the body to the hair. The hair transplant is most suitable for those who are seeking for a permanent and natural way to treat their hair loss.
The hair transplant can be performed in different part of the body such as the head, eyelashes, eyebrows or the chest. The most common surgery is done in the head and the men are the first candidate for hair transplant who are looking for treating their hair loss.
It normally takes 3 weeks to see the result of hair transplant treatment completely. Redness is common side effect of the procedure which will subside over time.
Before the surgery, the medical history of the patient is examined and the proper medication is discussed with the patient.
Initially, the head is cleaned and medication is used to numb the surgical site. Then the hair is extracted using a hallow needle. The hair is transplanted from the back of the scalp. Usually, the hair is shortened 1 to 22 and is transplanted to the selected area. After the surgery, the surgical site is covered with a bandage. The onset of hair growth may last up to six month or after the surgery and the full result are seen even after one year. The hair transplant is done under local anesthesia and lasts from 4 to 12 years.
