Hair Transplant
For many, a full head of hair is key to feeling confident and attractive. However, pollution, stress, and lifestyle changes have led to an increase in hair loss, affecting more than 60% of men and 10% of women. For those experiencing balding or thinning hair, hair transplant surgery can offer a reliable, lasting solution.
What is a Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves moving hair follicles from a part of the body with healthy hair growth to areas affected by hair loss, often restoring density and encouraging natural hair growth in bald or thinning areas.
Who Can Benefit from Hair Transplant Surgery?
A hair transplant can be ideal for those with hereditary baldness, an irreversible condition often passed down in families. The procedure is also beneficial for individuals who have lost hair due to injury, scars, or burns, allowing them to regain hair in areas where it has stopped growing.
Hair Transplant Procedure at EverGlo Aesthetic Clinic Chennai
- Preparation: The surgeon will clean your scalp and administer anesthesia to numb the area for a painless procedure.
- Procedure Options:
- Follicular Unit Strip Surgery (FUSS): A small strip of skin is removed from the back of the head, which is then divided into 500–2,000 hair grafts. Each graft, containing a few hairs, is carefully transplanted to the area needing hair.
- Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): The surgeon shaves a portion of the scalp and removes individual hair follicles one by one. This approach heals with minimal scarring, leaving tiny, less visible marks covered by surrounding hair.
After graft preparation, the surgeon creates small incisions in the balding area and carefully places each graft. The entire procedure takes approximately 4–8 hours, depending on the size of the treatment area. Additional sessions may be needed if more thickness is desired.
FUT vs. FUE: Choosing the Right Method
| Aspect | FUT | FUE |
| Shaving Required | No | Yes |
| Scarring | Visible, but minimized | Minimal and barely noticeable |
| Cost | Generally less expensive | Slightly more expensive |
| Process | Strip of scalp is removed | Follicles removed individually |
| Healing Time | Around 2 weeks | Typically 10 days |
| Precision | High, with microscopic accuracy | Manual extraction, slightly less precision |
| Graft Damage | Minimal risk | Some risk of graft damage |
| Visibility of Procedure | Immediately hidden | Some visibility until it heals |
Post-Surgical Care
After the procedure, the scalp may feel tender, and you may need to take pain medication for a few days. Bandages are usually required for one to two days, and antibiotics or anti-inflammatories may be prescribed. Most patients return to work within 2-5 days.
Within 2–3 weeks post-surgery, the transplanted hair may shed. However, new hair growth typically begins within a few months, with 60% of new growth visible after 6–9 months.
