What To Know About Hair Transplants

The expression “health is wealth” makes little sense to most people until they get to a point in life where physical issues start affecting the way they live their daily lives.

There are several physical attributes that become less prominent or at least start to become affected by old age, some of which are the wrinkles on the face, less overall bodily strength, and poorer vision.

Although hair health and thickness is an issue largely associated with genetics and the diet, in a majority of cases, especially in relation to men, it starts to materialize during the mid-forties.

A popular option for these people to consider is a hair transplant, which, thanks to improved technology and equipment, has become capable of operation with fewer side effects and faster recovery.

Before people consider the option however, it is important to understand the risks and success factors in a discussion with a specialist of hair surgery.

Basic information

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure, which moves hair grafts from parts of the head where it is growing, to where the growth is sparse or absent. Although the procedure has been performed since decades, recent advancements have changed the way it is done, and boosted chances of success as well.

Sequence

The best hair transplant clinic in Dubai is usually going to perform the surgery in its own vicinity, and the process starts with the surgeon clearing the scalp and then applying numbing medicine to the head.

There are two methods for hair transplants, each of which differ slightly in terms of the nature of the area to be transplanted.

FUSS

In follicular unit strip surgery (FUSS), a sizeable strip is taken from the back of the head, and the exposed area is sewed up.

This strip of skin is then divided into several hundred small grafts. This quality of the grafts and how effective a transplant using them depends on the health of the hair itself, which suggests that the success is mostly dependent not on the skill with which the process is done, but by the person’s own hair grafts.

FUE

In follicular unit extraction (FUE). In FUE hair transplant, the back of the head is shaved and follicles are removed piece by piece.

The process after these extractions is pretty much the same and involves placing the removed grafts into the tiny holes at the area that needs the hair, made with an instrument.
