Hair transplantation is a surgical technique, which aids in new hair growth and helps manage baldness. On an average, 50 to 100 hair fall every day and the new hair grow simultaneously, and if this cycle is disrupted then this also triggers hair loss There can be so many causes of hair loss, but one of the major causes of hair loss is the hereditary factor. Other causes may include hormonal imbalance, scalp infections, hair-pulling disorders, medications, and skin problems.

To manage hair loss one can opt for a hair transplant in Bangalore performed at Charma Clinic, by an expert hair transplant surgeon.

During the hair transplantation procedure, the hair transplant surgeon takes the hair graft from one part of the hair and transfers it to an area where he or she does not have hair. The surgeon also sterilizes the area from where the hair will be removed and numbs it with a local anesthetic, before starting a transplant. Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is one of the most popular methods of performing hair transplantation at Charma Clinic, the best hair transplant clinic in Bangalore.

Good candidates for the hair transplantation surgery:

The following conditions can make an individual a good candidate for hair transplantation surgery:

  • People over the age of twenty-five and suffering from balding.
  • Men with Norwood pattern of hair loss
  • People with a giant hair follicle density mostly receive better coverage.
  • Men and women with hair loss caused by injury or burns.
  • People with a hair color similar to their skin color generally make better candidates because they have less color contrast.

Follicular Unit Extraction

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is an advanced technique of hair transplantation that drives the field of hair transplant surgery one-step closer to the minimally invasive procedure. Hair grows in groups of two to four and each group is termed a ‘follicular unit’. In the FUE procedure, the entire group of a follicular unit is extracted with automated punches. Any person who is suffering from chronic hair loss and has healthy donor hair is a good candidate for hair transplantation. In this procedure, the non-bald areas such as the back of the scalp are used as donor areas from where individual follicles are extracted out by using a very refined extracting technique and implanted one by one in the bald area directly without creating any acceptance holes. Besides from the back of the scalp, the beard area, chest and back can also be used for the extraction of individual follicles to harvest. In one day, approximately 5,000 hairs can be transplanted. The FUE procedure in Bangalore at Charma Clinic is carried out in an operating room set-up where utmost care is taken about sterility. The procedure is pain-free and requires minimal downtime. The procedure is safe and comfortable as it is done by giving local anesthesia to the scalp only.

FUE hair transplants restore hair by replacing old follicles with new follicles that still can grow hair. The follicles will be nourished by blood vessels after the transplant, and begin growing hair in the area that previously had thin hair or balding.

Follicular Unit Extraction Procedure:

  • The surgeon shaves down the hair in the area to be treated where follicles will be removed as well as around the transplant area.
  • Follicles from the skin will be removed by using a micro-punch tool.
  • With a needle or other small sharp tool, the surgeon will make a series of tiny incisions where the extracted follicles will be inserted.
  • Then the extracted follicles will be inserted into the incisions.
  • The surgeon will clean and bandage the area for recovery.
  • Recovery from FUE is quick. The candidate may have swelling or discomfort for about 2-3 days after the treatment.

Advantages of Follicular Unit Extraction:

  • The procedure is less traumatic as FUE does not involve stitches or linear scarring.
  • Less equipment is needed that makes the process much quicker and helps to yield superior results.
  • Any discomfort and signs of surgery last no longer than a week.
  • There is minimal postoperative recovery time.
  • Microscopic scars in donor areas are almost deceptive. The results are extremely natural-looking.
  • It uses body hair for added density with this technique only.
  • It can cover preexisting scars from strip surgery with FUE.
  • FUE offers greater cost-flexibility and affordability.
