Hair Transplant - Things You Should Know
By Antin. Hair transplant technology has been used by thousands of people all over the world. Most experts agree that hair loss is predominantly caused by genetics, making permanent transplant operations one of the best options for those suffering from baldness and hair loss.
There are different hair transplant techniques being used in hair loss therapy. Many of these provide effective results and leave the patient with a restored scalp and all of the confidence that a fuller head of hair and improved self image can bring.
If you decide to choose hair transplant, it is important to research the different options as well as take the time to discuss the options with a range of different surgeons. Some of common hair transplant methods used today are Traditional Strip inclusions, Strip inclusions with modern micro grafting technology, Follicular Unit Transplantation, and follicular unit extraction technique.
In traditional Strip inclusions methods of hair transplant, the surgeon removes strips of skin from a healthy donor area. These strips are then implanted into the subject area. In some cases this is a relatively painful procedure which in can leave scarring. Principally the micro grafting technique splits the strip into smaller segments that are implanted in the same way. Because of the more accurate and small scale of this method, the results are usually better than more traditional strip inclusions. Most patients feel little pain and scarring is left to a minimum.
In Follicular Unit Transplantation process, hair restoration is carried out through the use of naturally occurring follicular units on the scalp of the patient that normally possess one to four hairs. The donor tissue is gathered by the use of single, and not multiple, strips coming form the back of the scalp. Moreover, these individual follicular units are then dissected from this strip. If done properly, this FUT process permits the surgeon to create cosmetically acceptable results.
Most surgeons had dismissed Follicular Unit Extraction, because of its inefficiency and labor intensiveness, had dismissed this method. This method is basically a removal of a person’s follicular unit from the scalp without the use of the conventional incision. The surgeons are selective regarding this hair transplant technique because it is largely time-consuming and patients are required to return numerous times to complete the treatment.
