1. What is Hair Transplant :-
For a hair transplant, a plastic surgeon will transplant hair to the bald area of the head. The surgeon will usually take hair from the back or sides of the head and transplant it to the area where there is no hair.
2. Types of Hair Transplant Techniques :-
There are two main types of hair transplant techniques : the FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction).
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): In FUT, a strip of skin containing hair follicles is surgically removed from the donor area, usually the back or sides of the scalp. The strip is then dissected into individual follicular units, which are transplanted into the recipient sites using tiny incisions. The donor site is closed with sutures, leaving a linear scar that can be concealed by surrounding hair.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): In FUE, individual follicular units are harvested directly from the donor area using a small punch tool. The follicular units are then transplanted into the recipient sites using small incisions. FUE does not require a linear incision or sutures, and it typically results in less noticeable scarring compared to FUT.
3. Why Hair Transplant is Important for Youth :-
