Hair transplantation is a procedure that transfers hair resistant to balding, which normally is found at the back or side of the head, to the balding area. The hair that is resistant to balding is the donor dominant hair, which will continue to grow throughout the life of most men. Donor dominance is the scientific basis for the success of hair transplantation, and Dr. Norman Orentreich in 1959 published it and the field of hair surgery was born. Suitable candidates for surgery are people with hair loss that have enough donor hair.
With the advancement of medical technology, it has showed massive improvement in technique and procedure. Back in the years when strip incision was the in thing, surgeons took healthy hair from the donor site by cutting out a linear strip in the scalp. This type of hair transplant leaves a linear scar. Now, technology has allowed the use of micro grafting, Surgeons are switching to this method because it does not involve making any type of incision. However, a detailed procedure requires inserting hair bit by bit into your scalp. This process would require implanting micro-grafts by the hundreds. Transplanting the hair follicle is the surest way to ensure new growths of hair.
The newest and probably the best hair transplant method is Follicular Unit Transplant. This procedure also uses micro grafting. This procedure involves the removal of individual hair follicles from an area on the scalp, and reinsertion of the hair follicles into the hairline. This is a good procedure compared to strip incision and old style micro grafting because this procedure leaves almost no scar because stitching is not required. Healing time is also faster; usually after a week, pain will be gone. Thousands of grafts can be transplanted in a single session, which results in less impact on the patient. This procedure also mimics the natural growth of hair so it also gives the most natural-looking result.
Hair transplant surgery, if carried out correctly, is safe and effective. So make sure to do a lot of research before going through this procedure.
