About this Procedure
A hair transplant is a procedure to move hair to an area of the scalp that is thin or bald. The NHS explains that it is suitable for people with permanent baldness of the type that runs in families. It is not usually suitable for other types of hair loss, such as alopecia areata, which causes patches of baldness.
Healthy hair is taken from the back of the head, where it is usually resistant to thinning, and placed into tiny cuts in the thinning area. There are two main methods. In follicular unit transplantation (FUT, or the strip method), a thin strip of skin is removed and divided into small grafts of 1 to 4 hairs, leaving a linear scar at the back of the head. In follicular unit extraction (FUE), individual follicles are removed one by one, leaving many tiny scars that are not very noticeable.
The NHS says a hair transplant is usually carried out under local anaesthetic and sedation, typically takes a day, and should not need an overnight stay. Large areas may need two or more sessions. Most people need 1 to 2 weeks off work, and the grafts must be handled carefully for the first 2 weeks. Transplanted hair often falls out after a few weeks, new growth usually appears from about 4 months, and full results are seen after 10 to 18 months.
At Medwell, hair transplant surgery is arranged at Paras Health, Gurugram, a partner hospital in Delhi NCR. Your surgeon examines your scalp and donor area and confirms whether a transplant is suitable for you.
