Hair loss results mainly from heredity. Other causes are stress, fungal or bacterial infection, affected liver or thyroid, crash dieting, dandruff, iron, calcium and vitamin deficiencies, systemic disease or side effect of prolonged medicines etc. These causes can be investigated and treated with suitable medicines.

Hair loss that does not respond to treatment and has progressed beyond grade three requires replacement with new growing hair, which is done by hair transplantation.

Hair weaving is tying a wig on the head with silk thread knots. Hair bonding is holding the wig with clips and hair fusion is sticking a light weight nylon wig with a double sided sticking tape.

These are all temporary methods. Prolonged use causes bad hygiene, pull out of the anchoring hair and excoriation of skin. These methods are not done by doctors.

Hair transplantation is really about relocating (transplanting) the baldness resistant hair follicles from the back of the head to the balding areas on the top of the head. The transplanted hair maintains it's own characteristics; color, texture, growth rate, and curl, after transplantation and re-growth. Over years, instruments and techniques have been developed that allow us to achieve truly natural results by transplanting small follicular unit grafts very close together. We have found that hair grows from the scalp in groups of one, two, three and four hair follicles. We transfer these groups of follicles after eliminating the excess surrounding fatty tissue. This allows the grafts to be placed closer together resulting in a denser and more natural result.

Follicular unit grafts can be used in - between thinning hair in men and women for adding density.

The great majority of our patients are quite comfortable both during and after their hair transplantation procedure. Local anesthetics are used during the procedure. Some discomfort is to be expected as the anesthetic is injected into the scalp. Once the skin is anesthetized, there is no pain. If the numbing medicine wears off during the course of the procedure, more is injected to re-anesthetize the area. Most patients listen to music or nap during their procedure. Pain medication is always offered, though its use is limited generally to the first few days after surgery.

The post-operative course will depend on adherence to the instructions given after surgery. Small scabs will form on the scalp at the graft sites. These scabs disappear within 10-12 days. Shampooing can be resumed 48 hours after surgery. The suture (stitch) used in the donor area is undetectable as it is completely covered by your existing hair. The sutures need to be removed 2-3 weeks after surgery or self dissolving sutures can be used.

With today's very refined Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation procedure the incisions are very small and less invasive than past procedures. This results in more rapid healing. Most patients feel fine within a day or two following surgery, although some numbness and mild soreness can be expected for several days following surgery. Depending on the type of work you do, it is often possible to go back to work within few days day. Your hair restoration surgeon will discuss this with you during the consultation.

Despite the initial cost of the procedure, hair transplantation can be less expensive than an artificial hairpiece over the long run. However considering that the results are long-lasting, most people consider it a good investment in their future happiness.

The number of the sessions will depend on the 1) area of scalp treated 2) the number and size of grafts used 3) the density which you desires and 4) the individual characteristics of you, e.g. coarse hair will provide a more dense look than fine hair. The estimate of the number of sessions can be discussed during the consultation with your surgeon.

The hair that is transplanted usually comes from the back of the head or the side of the head of you having the transplant. Also, body hairs; specially beard and chest hairs; can also be taken with FUE technique. Unless you have an identical twin with extra hair to donate, you must serve as your own donor. The hair follicle that is transplanted will produce hair in its new location. The hair follicles will not divide and multiple to produce several hairs in its new location. So, in that sense, the hair that is transplanted will not "spread".

The hair color and the texture of the hair, such as whether it is straight or curly, all these things can affect the outcome in a significant way. Patients with lighter blonde type hair generally have a better result than patients with fine, straight, black hair. The curly hair often appears fuller once it begins to grow again than straight hair. You must have a great enough density of donor hair to allow us to harvest desired number of hair follicles and not be so thin that the harvest site becomes visible. There will always be a scar at the harvest site, but if it is covered by hair it will not be visible.

This procedure is usually done in an office setting or outpatient surgery setting and is most commonly done under topical anesthesia which simply involves injection of local anesthetic. One risk of any such procedure would be the small possibility of an allergic reaction to the anesthetic used. Qualified doctor will have the proper equipment and training to deal with this type of risk. The other risks associated with any surgical procedure including hair transplantation would be the possibility of infection or significant bleeding. This is usually easily controlled by properly trained plastic surgeons. There is the possibility of visible scars where the hair is harvested at the side or back of the head. This is especially true if you experiences ongoing significant hair loss. There is always a risk that some of the individual hair follicles transplanted will not "take". In this case, the hair follicles will not survive and hair will not grow from that particular transplant. If, for some reason, a significant number of individual transplants fail, then the operation will fall short of the desired goal. As we said earlier, it is often necessary to do two or three sessions in order to achieve enough hair density to meet yours goal. If you continues to have progressive loss when one has placed a new graft in thin hair, there may come a rather patchy looking endpoint. In that case, it is sometimes necessary to perform yet another mini grafts transplant.

This is a modified FUT/ FUE technique in which patient's own blood is taken & send to lab to get P.R.P. (Platelet Rich Plasma). This P.R.P. contains growth factors & it is used in transplantation which is known as Bio FUT/ FUE. It is supposed to enhance growth of transplanted hair follicles. Using your own regenerative cells (P.R.P.) enhance the result of all phases of the procedure-

• Your own regenerative cells are used to promote rapid healing producing an almost undetectable "donor incision".
• During the surgical procedure all follicular units are then bathed in your regenerative cell culture medium to nourish the follicles and promote a higher yield of transplanted hairs.
• Your bio-enriched cells are injected into the transplanted area to promote faster healing, to improve the quality and aesthetic density of your existing non-transplanted hair.

There are few companies like ARTAS, NEO GRAFT & iBrain Robotics etc. which claim that if hair transplants is done with their machine then it is known as "Robotic Hair transplant" &/or machine uses artificial intelligence to give better results BUT the "Facts" are different.

• ARTAS: The machine uses a Robotic arm to harvest FUE & Implantation is done manually with Implanters.
  Facts: An experienced FUE hair transplant surgeon is able to give better quality graft at a faster rate than ARTAS ROBOTIC ARM at a very reasonable rate.
• NEO-GRAFT: Grafts are harvested with FUE technique & needle with a negative suction machine is used to extract graft (instead of forceps). Implantation is done manually
  NO ROBOT IS USED IN ANY STEP.
  Facts: An experienced FUE hair transplant surgeon is able to give better quality graft at a faster rate than Neo-Graft at a very reasonable rate..
• iBRAIN ROBOTICS: Grafts are harvested with FUE technique & needle with a negative suction machine is used to extract graft (instead of forceps). Implantation is done with Implanter using BIGGER size needles than conventional Implanters.
  NO ROBOT IS USED IN ANY STEP. So it is a marketing gimmick to lure patients.
  Facts: An experienced hair transplant surgeon is able to give able quality graft at a faster rate than iBRAIN ROBOTIC at a very reasonable rate.

In General, you should look for the center which are giving better results rather than centers using fancy words for the procedure.

In general, FUT & FUE are the most standard methods available worldwide. We are practicing the advance technique in Hair Restoration & is achieving very good results by FUT, FUE & BHT method since 2008.
