Hair loss can be a natural process or an early indication of hair loss. It can be difficult to determine when to seek medical advice. If you are experiencing approximately 50-100 hairs falling out per day, this is considered normal. However, if you notice an increase in hair loss and find clumps of hair in the sink, on pillows, or in your comb, it is important to seek medical attention as this could be a sign of hair loss. Initially, doctors may prescribe medications to treat hair loss, although the effectiveness of these treatments is not guaranteed and may only provide temporary relief. Minoxidil (an over-the-counter lotion) and finasteride are two available medications that aim to slow down hair loss and promote hair growth. If these treatments prove to be ineffective, the final option is to undergo a hair transplant procedure. This minimally invasive cosmetic surgery involves restoring bald areas by transplanting follicular grafts from a high-density donor area. The procedure requires precision and expertise in order to achieve successful and aesthetically pleasing results.
Hair transplant in India has gained immense popularity due to the high demand for the procedure. Not only do Indian citizens opt for this treatment, but individuals from foreign countries also choose India as their destination for hair transplants, thanks to the renowned clinics available. The hair transplant cost in India is significantly more affordable compared to Western nations, making it a cost-effective option with international standards that attract people from around the globe. Medispa, a hair transplant clinic located in Jaipur and Delhi, is highly sought after by both local and international patients. We are at the forefront of the industry, providing top-notch aesthetic results. Dr. Suneet Soni, a skilled hair transplant surgeon, takes a holistic approach and carefully selects the most suitable technique for each patient based on their unique needs. His commitment to offering genuine advice and making sound decisions throughout the hair transplant process sets him apart in the field.
HAIR TRANSPLANT METHODS
Medical science is continuously striving to enhance the treatment of medical issues. In a similar vein, the field of hair transplant is progressing each day towards perfection. The modern hair transplant procedure involves two main techniques:
FUT hair transplant: This method entails removing a strip of hair from the back and sides of the head. The strip is then divided into sections, and technicians meticulously separate each hair root under a high-powered microscope. The donor area is closed with sutures to ensure smooth healing. The hair roots are then transplanted to the desired bald area based on the design of the hairline. This technique allows for the extraction of approximately 3000 – 3500 hair roots in a single session, making it suitable for cases requiring a higher number of hair roots, particularly in instances of extensive hair loss.
FUE hair transplant:In the FUE hair transplant method, individual hair roots are manually extracted from the donor area using a specialized tool called a punch. The punch is carefully inserted into the skin of the donor area to pull out each hair root. After the required number of hair roots is harvested, they are then transplanted to the targeted bald area. This technique has the potential to harvest approximately 2000 – 2500 hair roots in a single session and is recommended for early hair loss or facial hair transplants.
Body hair transplant, or BHT, involves using alternative body parts as donor areas instead of the scalp. Common donor areas include the chest, axilla, beard, and pubic region, with the beard area being the most commonly used. The harvested hair roots are then transplanted to the desired bald area. This technique is recommended when there are insufficient hair roots on the scalp for harvesting. It can also be combined with FUT and FUE techniques from the scalp, known as a Combination technique. Dr. Suneet Soni is experienced in all hair transplant techniques. To determine the best approach for your hair transplant, visit Medispa hair transplant clinic in Delhi or Jaipur.
Combination technique of FUE +FUT + BHT
The innovative approach of combining FUE + FUT + BHT was developed to meet the growing demand for high density hair transplants. This technique allows for the extraction of over 4000 hair grafts, starting with FUT to harvest the majority of grafts (3000 – 3500) followed by FUE to extract the remaining grafts from the scalp and body (BHT), including the “shadow area” under the chin.
Previously, hair graft extraction from facial areas was avoided due to scarring concerns. However, thanks to advancements in technology, it is now possible to extract grafts without visible scars. This innovative technique is only offered in a select few hair transplant clinics in India, such as Medispa, where Dr. Suneet Soni utilizes a 0.75 mm punch device to perform BHT components under the chin area, eliminating scarring. Dr. Soni's dedication to research in hair transplant procedures ensures that patients receive the most up-to-date and effective treatments available.
Benefits of combination technique of FUE +FUT + BHT over other hair transplant techniques
There are numerous advantages associated with the combination technique of FUE + FUT + BHT, which led to the introduction of this technique. These benefits can be outlined as follows:
- This technique provides a higher yield of hair grafts, making it the preferred choice for extensive bald cases and high-density hair transplants.
- The technique enables the extraction of each hair graft from a greater distance, promoting healing at the donor area with minimal scarring and preventing overharvesting.
- Preservation of hair grafts for future sessions is possible with this technique, as only a minimal number of hair grafts are extracted by the FUE technique from each site (scalp and under the chin area).
- By avoiding the violation of the safe donor area, this technique helps maintain the permanency of the outcomes.
- Damage to hair grafts is prevented by the FUE hair transplant technique, as no close extraction is performed.
However, it is crucial to consider that the combination technique of FUE + FUT + BHT is complex and involves the delicate aesthetic zone (face), therefore it should only be carried out by skilled and experienced professionals to ensure successful outcomes.
