Not all of us are blessed with thick growth of hair. While all human beings do experience hair fall during the lifetime, some of us may start getting impacted by it a little earlier than normal age. No one likes the idea of getting bald- at least majority of us do not. Hence it makes sense to join for hair transplant to get the natural growth of hair coming back

TYPES OF HT 1-FUT- FOLLICULAR UNIT TRANSPLANT • Gold standard technique of HT • Also called as strip method • Advantages-1] 3-4 thousand follicles can be transplanted in a sitting so maximum area can be covered 2]density is not affected at all. Drawback- a very fine linear scar can be seen only when patient shaves his head.

Slivering of the harvested area is done • Individual follicles are separated from these slivers
Grafting of these individual follicle is done on the bald area
PATIENT IMAGE • JUST BEFORE THE PROCEDURE AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PROCEDURE
2-FUE FOLLICULAR UNIT EXTRACTION • Single follicle is separated directly from the scalp through a special hand piece. • Follicles are taken out from all over the scalp. • These follicles are then grafted into the bald area.

4-OTHER TYPES • Hair transplant is also possible in other parts of the body like Eyebrows Mustache Beard In all these transplant, extraction of follicles is done by FUE method.
BIO FIBERS • These are the biologically tested synthetic fibers • Used in patients with less or no donor areas. • Can also be used for patients who are not willing for surgery. • Also can be used for patients who are not fit for surgery.
Procedure • Few fibers are grafted 7 days before the real procedure to rule out any allergic reaction. • These fibers are inserted in the bald area with the help of very fine needle. • A special type of bonding agent is used for their retention in the scalp. • The length of the fiber is adjusted according to patients requirement.
