Hair Transplant
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure in which hair follicles are removed from one part of the body (usually the back of the head) and transplanted to a bald or thinning area. The transplanted hair follicles continue to grow hair in their new location, resulting in a fuller, more natural-looking head of hair
Types of FUE Hair Transplant
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a hair transplant technique that involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area and transplanting them to the recipient area. There are several types of FUE hair transplant, including
- Classic FUE (via micro motors)
- Robotic FUE
- DHI technique (FUE performed with Choi implanters)
- Sapphire FUE (FUE performed with Sapphire blades)

The Process of Hair Transplantation: Step by Step
Hair transplantation typically involves the following steps:
- Consultation: The first step is to schedule a consultation with a hair transplant surgeon to discuss the individual's goals, expectations, and medical history. The surgeon will also assess the individual's hair loss and determine if they are a good candidate for hair transplantation.
- Donor hair extraction: The next step is to extract hair follicles from the donor area, which is usually the back or sides of the head. This can be done using a manual punch tool, a motorized punch tool, or a robotic arm.
- Follicle preparation: The extracted hair follicles are then prepared for transplantation by trimming them down to the appropriate size.
- Recipient area preparation: The recipient area is prepared by making small incisions or punctures in the scalp, where the hair follicles will be transplanted.
- Hair follicle transplantation: The hair follicles are then transplanted into the recipient area, usually using a micro-needle or micro-blade. The surgeon carefully places each follicle in the appropriate direction and angle to achieve a natural-looking result.
- Post-operative care: After the hair transplantation procedure, the individual will be provided with instructions on how to care for the transplanted area and minimize the risk of complications. This may include avoiding certain activities and medications, as well as using specialized shampoos and other products.
- Follow-up appointments: The individual will need to schedule follow-up appointments with the hair transplant surgeon to monitor the progress of the transplantation and ensure that the new hair is growing properly.
What you need to know
- Age: Individuals between the ages of 20 and 60 years old are typically good candidates for hair transplant surgery.
- Time commitment: The hair transplant surgery usually takes about 6-8 hours, but this can vary depending on the number of follicles needed. Patients should also plan to spend 3 days for pre and post-operative procedures.
- Location: Hair transplant surgery should be performed in a fully-equipped hospital to respond to possible complications.
- Medical staff: The surgery is performed by a doctor and at least 3 medical technicians.
- Recovery time: It can take 6-18 months to see the final outcome of hair growth. Patients can expect to see hair growth starting from the day following the operation until the 18th mont
