5 Modern hair transplant methods
5 Modern hair transplant methods
There are several modern methods of transplantation that can be used to treat hair loss. Here are some of them:
1. FUE technique (extraction of cultivation units):
– In this process, transplantation units (hair transplants) are extracted from a donor area of the scalp by a micro-extraction machine.
– Small holes are punctured in the reception area and planting units are planted in these openings accurately.
– This process requires great skill and precise techniques and leaves very small traces.
2. DHI technique (pen hair transplantation):
– This technique is similar to FUE, But it uses a special tool called “DHI pen” to extract and transplant hair.
– DHI is more accurate in hair transplantation and reduces the percentage of pain and scars.
3. FUT technique (Root Unit Cultivation with Strip):
– In this operation, a strip of skin is used that is extracted from a donor area on the head.
– Planting units are separated from this strip and planted in the reception area.
– This method leaves a linear scar in the donor area.
4. Robot technology:
– In this process, a medical robot is used to extract and cultivate the cultivation units.
– This technique depends on the high accuracy of the robot in carrying out the operation.
5. Laser technology:
– Lasers can be used to promote hair growth by stimulating hair follicles.
– This procedure is often used as a complementary measure to treat hair loss.

Hair transplantation
It is a surgical procedure used to treat hair loss and improve the texture and density of hair. The process involves natural hair transplantation in areas of the scalp that suffer from hair loss. Here’s an overview of how the procedure works:
1. Consult a specialist: The operation begins with a consultation session with a hair transplant surgeon. During which the state of hair loss is evaluated and expected goals and logical expectations are discussed.
2. Process Planning: The surgeon identifies the donor and recipient areas and draws up a transplant plan.
3. Extraction of cultivation units: Planting units (usually containing 1-4 hairs) are extracted from donor areas. Various techniques such as FUE or FUT can be used to extract these modules.
4. Preparation of receiving areas: Reception areas are prepared by creating precisely small openings for receiving planting units.
5. Cultivation of farming units: Planting units are carried out in the prepared holes in the reception areas. This is done carefully to ensure that the hair is naturally oriented and evenly distributed.
6. Monitoring and Follow-up: After the operation, The patient should follow aftercare instructions and follow-up visits with the surgeon to ensure a successful recovery.
7. Results: Hair transplantation requires a few months for the final results to appear, The transplanted hair begins to grow gradually.
It should be noted that the success of hair transplantation depends on several factors including scalp health, quality of transplanted hair, and patient care for hair after the operation.
Appropriate ages for transplantation
Agriculture is not particularly confined to a particular age group, It can be suitable for people of different ages depending on the hair loss condition and their personal needs. Here are some details about the appropriate ages for hair transplantation:
1. Adults: Adults with natural hair loss as a result of genetics, environmental or other medical factors are often a good option to restore hair texture and density.
2. Youth: Young people with hair loss at an early age can resort to hair transplantation if they are willing to commit to aftercare and follow-up treatment. It is important to consult a hair transplant doctor to accurately assess the condition.
3. Elderly: Even in older people, hair transplantation can be a suitable option if they want to improve their appearance and increase density in areas of hair loss.
4. Children and adolescents: Hair transplantation is often not suitable for children and adolescents, Hair and scalp need normal growth and development before making a decision like this. It is preferable to wait until adulthood before considering hair transplantation.
5. Special medical conditions: In rare cases, Hair transplantation may be necessary for people with certain medical conditions such as severe burns or diseases that lead to hair loss.
Side effects of hair transplantation
Hair transplantation is a largely safe surgical procedure, But some side effects and common problems can occur after the procedure. Here are some possible side effects:
1. Swelling and redness: After the operation, The patient may notice swelling and redness in the scalp, This is a natural phenomenon that usually disappears within a few days.
2. Facial pain and swelling: In some cases, The patient can feel mild pain and swelling in the forehead and lower forehead area. Pain can be relieved using medications prescribed by the surgeon.
3. Temporary bleeding: Slight bleeding can occur in the planting area after the operation, But it usually stops quickly and is not a big problem.
4. Scarring and discoloration: May leave mild scar marks in the cultivation area, Skin discoloration may occur in some cases, But these effects are usually minor and disappear over time.
5. Infections: There is a possibility of infections in the transplant or donor area. It is important to follow aftercare instructions and take medications as recommended by your surgeon to prevent infections.
6. Temporary hair loss shock: After the operation, Transplanted hair can fall out at first before it starts to grow back. This is considered normal and temporary.
7. Nausea and vomiting: In rare cases, Some patients can experience nausea and vomiting after surgery.
