Advantages of Hair Transplant Surgery

Hair loss is a serious issue for both men and women. Although more men experience hair loss, it is a problem

that affects women too. Hair loss in men is commonly due to genetic factors, while in women, it may be due to

hormonal changes. 

When this problem occurs, sufferers can help find the right solution like Hair Transplantation. It is one of the best

ways to restore hair into thinning and completely bald areas.

What is hair transplantation?

Hair transplantation is a surgical technique performed on men and women experiencing significant hair loss, bald

spots or thinning.  In this technique, the healthy hair follicles are taken from the sides and back of the scalp and

implanted into bald areas. 

Today’s “gold standard“ of hair transplant surgery is Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT).  This technique,

compared to older ones is completely natural because hair restoration surgeons harvest and implant hair follicle

groupings as they appear naturally in the scalp. These groupings are called follicular units and possess 1 to 4

hairs.  The end result is a head of hair so natural that even hairstylists can’t detect it.

In today’s modern FUT procedure, there are two distinct donor harvesting techniques worth discussing.  This

includes FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUSS (Follicular Unit Strip Surgery). 

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is performed by a hair transplant surgeon and their staff.  It is a no-stitch

technique in which the extracted hair follicles are grafted and implanted in the balding area. People with a small

area of baldness or those who don’t want a nominal linear scar associated with strip surgery typically opt for FUE.

Follicular Unit Strip Surgery (FUSS) is an advanced technique in which a strip of tissue is harvested from the

sides and back of the scalp typically just under the occipital ridge and possibly extending from ear to ear. 

The wound is then sutured or stapled using an advanced technique called the tricophytic closure in order to

minimize appearance of the scar.  Meanwhile, trained technicians sliver the strip and dissect follicular units using

microscopes to minimize damage and transection.  These perfectly cut grafts are then placed into tiny recipient

incisions made in the balding area.  

These procedures can be performed to restore the hair loss due to pattern baldness, injury, scalp disease, and

other reasons. 

Advantages of hair transplant surgery

Many people considering Follicular Unit Strip Surgery (FUSS) or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) have a number

of questions regarding the benefits of hair transplantation. We’ve listed some of these below.

• Permanent solution

Hair transplantation gives a permanent solution as the transplanted hair is already resistant to the DHT hormone

that causes hair loss. To prevent future thinning and hair loss, your doctor may prescribe or recommend 

non-surgical hair loss treatments such as Propecia (finasteride), Rogaine (minoxidil), platelet rich plasma (PRP)

or low level laser therapy (LLLT).  

The permanent result of hair transplant surgery is attracting many people over temporary hair loss solutions. 

• Natural look

Unlike other hair restoration programs that may not exactly match your hair color, hair transplantation gives you

your own natural looking hair.

It is important to find a qualified hair transplant surgeon to implant hair folicles in a natural looking way. The

results of hair transplantation, in the hands of a skilled physician are so good and look so natural that only the

people you tell will be able to tell that you got a hair transplant. 

• Cost-effective

High transplant surgery is very cost-effective if we consider the overall cost of other hair loss treatments that

need to be used every day for the rest of your life to remain effective. 

The cost of temporary solutions will exceed than that of hair transplant in time.  

If you are looking for a permanent solution for your baldness, hair transplant is the best option. 

• No maintenance

A key advantage of a hair transplant is that there is no additional maintenance other than maintaining your own

natural hair.  You don’t need to use special shampoos or conditioners transplanted hair grows without the help of

any non-surgical treatments.  Moreover, you won’t have to visit the doctor’s clinic again and again, as it is a one

time process.  However, many people to require more than one hair transplants session in order to meet their

goals.  

When it comes to hair loss treatments, hair transplants are completely safe and give everlasting results. Hair

transplantation can help you restore your confidence and give you a youthful appearance in an effective manner.
