What is the surgery for hair loss?
Hair transplantation
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that moves hair follicles from one part of the body to another. It's typically used to treat baldness or thinning hair. The procedure involves removing hair from the donor area, which is usually the back of the scalp, and transplanting it to the recipient area, which is typically the balding or thinning area.
The hair transplantation procedure typically takes several hours and is performed under local anesthesia. The hair follicles are removed from the donor area using a small punch tool or a strip method. The punch tool removes individual hair follicles, while the strip method removes a strip of skin that contains several hair follicles. The transplanted hair follicles are then placed into small incisions in the recipient area.
The transplanted hair will typically start to grow within a few months and will continue to grow for up to a year. The results of hair transplantation can be very natural-looking and can help to restore confidence in people who have experienced hair loss.
Types of hair transplantation:
* Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
* Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
* Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)
* Robotic Hair Transplant
