What is a Hair Transplant?

Hair transplant is a simple technique in which hair follicles are removed from the back or sides of the scalp (donor areas) and implanted into areas (recipent) with hair loss. The two primary methods used for hair transplant are: follicular unit extraction (FUE) and follicular unit transplantation (FUT). The transplanted hair grows naturally over time.

The grafts, which are harvested from donor areas, are implanted into micro-incisions in the scalp. Once the procedure is complete, the transplanted hair starts shedding, which is known as shock loss. After 12-18 months, the follicles develop mature and full-density hair.

Types of Hair Transplant Procedures

1. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

In the FUE technique, individual hair follicles are extracted directly from the donor area using a specialized micro-punch and transplanted into the areas experiencing hair loss. This minimally invasive procedure leaves tiny, almost invisible scars and offers a faster recovery.

  • No linear scar 
  • Minimally invasive technique 
  • Faster healing and recovery.
     

2. Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

Also known as the strip method, FUT involves removing a thin strip of scalp from the donor area. Individual follicular units are then carefully separated under a microscope and implanted into the recipient area. This technique is often recommended for patients requiring a larger number of grafts.

  • Suitable for extensive hair loss 
  • Higher graft yield in a single session 
  • Leaves a fine linear scar concealed by surrounding hair.
     

3. Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)

DHI is an advanced hair transplant technique in which extracted follicles are implanted directly into the recipient area using a specialized implantation pen. This allows for greater precision, better control over the angle and depth of implantation, and natural-looking density.

  • Precise graft placement 
  • Higher hair density 
  • Minimal handling of grafts for improved survival.
