Q: Types of hair transplants

FUT: Follicle Unit Transplantation (FUT), or strip hair transplant surgery, is a common technique in use today. A local anesthetic is applied to numb the scalp. We can also provide a mild sedative if you are particularly anxious. A 6-10-inch strip of skin is removed from the back of the head. Our experienced staff will then use stereo-microscopes to meticulously dissect individual follicular units. Usually between 500 and 2000 mini grafts are created. Excess fibrous and fatty tissue is removed from each graft. The scalp is stitched closed, leaving a thin linear scar. This small scar will most likely be hidden by your own hair. FUE: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is also performed under local anesthetic, with or without sedation. In this technique, individual hair follicles are removed from the back of the scalp. A mini graft will contain 2-4 hairs and a micro graft will contain 1 or 2 hairs. Each follicular unit that is removed leaves a tiny punch mark of 0.6-1.0mm diameter, no stitches are required, and the punch marks are covered up by your own hair. This process takes substantially longer to complete but may be preferable if you favor a close-cropped hair style as there will be no visible scarring. Additionally, with no stitches to remove, the recovery period tends to be quicker; a matter of days rather than a couple of weeks. Body hair transplantation: If the hair on the head is of poor quality, hair from elsewhere on the body, for example, from a beard or the chest, can be used instead. FUE is used to excise these hair follicles. This is most useful when the area that requires coverage is small.

Hair Treatments

The most common cause of hair loss in both males and females is hereditary hair loss. Also known as male-pattern baldness, female-pattern baldness or alopecia, it affects more than 90% of males and 40% of females.

To ensure that you are a viable candidate for hair transplantation our expert dermatologist will first conduct a thorough consultation. He will perform blood tests and scalp biopsies to look for underlying causes of hair loss and possible infections. He will remove several dozen hairs and examine them under a microscope to check the quality and condition of the hair shaft. He will also take a comprehensive medical and family history, as hair loss is very often hereditary.

How many hairs will be transplanted?

The number of hairs transplanted will depend on how large your area of hair loss is. If you want to hide a relatively small surgical incision you may only require several hundred grafts. Each one containing between one and four individual hairs. This can be performed in a single session.

For larger areas of hair loss, as is seen with alopecia, you may require up to 3000 individual grafts. Multiple sessions, split over different days, will be necessary.

Novomed offers a wide range of hair loss treatments, including:

Low-Level Laser Therapy:

It is a safe, non-invasive, and clinically proven treatment for stimulating hair follicles to grow fuller and thicker hair. Also known as red light therapy, the powerful clinical-strength laser devices treat hair loss, male pattern baldness and alopecia for both men and women. Laser therapy for hair is widely regarded as a safe and less invasive procedure than hair transplants.

Mesotherapy

Hair Loss Mesotherapy involves superficial insertions of the substances to the scalp which stimulate growth and prevent hair from falling out (mainly anti-inflammatory medicines, vitamins, and nutritive substances). The medicines are selected on an individual basis, to meet the patient’s needs. Scalp mesotherapy is recommended in particular to persons who suffer from losing hair and alopecia.

Exosomes injections

are a relatively new approach to hair loss treatment that shows promise in promoting hair growth. When injected into the scalp, exosomes deliver growth factors and other bioactive molecules to hair follicle cells, stimulating their growth and rejuvenation.

Hair Transplant

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a hair transplant technique that involves extracting individual hair follicles from your skin, usually the back or side of the head, and transplanting them to another part of your body where hair is weaker or nonexistent. FUE hair transplant has become one of the most commonly used procedures because it is less painful and causes minimal to no scarring compared to other treatments, and provides aesthetically pleasing results, with the new hair looking thick and healthy.
