Hair Transplantation is a technique used to treat male pattern baldness. It is a minimally invasive procedure. If you have seen any bald person, you will notice that they will never lose the hair on the sides and at the back of head. It is because hair in these areas are resistant to falling. They are also called as resistant hair. Hair Transplantation involves relocation of these resistant hair to bald area. As these hairs are resistant to falling, they can be used to cover the baldness. Transplanted hairs grow like natural hair. This help patients achieve a natural appearance.  The hair transplant procedure involves following steps1. Taking out roots from the back and sides of head (donor areas) :- Hair roots or grafts are taken out from the back of head. This can be done by two methods. First is FUT (Follicular Unit Transfer) in which a strip of skin containing thousands of follicles is removed from backside of head. Second method is FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) in which single single follicles are removed with the help of motorized machine. 2. Implantation of roots:- This is the second step of hair transplantation process. It is same in both FUT and FUE. Implantation of follicles at the bald area can be achieved by either Stick and Place technique or Lateral Slit technique. Our doctors at Prime Hair Studio use “Stick and Place technique” In this technique hair transplant physician makes a small incision and immediately places the graft into it, thus minimizing bleeding to almost nil.

FUT OR Follicular Unit Transfer technique of Hair Transplantation involves following steps i. A strip of skin is removed from the back of head. Special skills are required to prevent the damage to the hair roots.ii. This big strip is cut into smaller strips.iii. Individual hair roots are removed from this strip using microdissection techniques.iv. Implantation :- It is a complex and demanding procedure requiring a skilled and experienced surgeons. At the bald area, tiny holes are created in skin for the placement of roots. Placement and distributions of hair roots is determined by area of baldness. The roots are arranged in a predetermined density and pattern. The angulation of the hair roots is kept similar to your natural hair. We, at Prime Hair Studio, focus on fulfilling patient wishes and achieving optimal density and natural appearance.Stitches at the backside of head heal with minimum scar. This scar is well hidden in the remaining hair. We employ a special technique called trichophytic closure for stitching. This gives a negligent scar.
