Here at Tajmeel Clinic, we understand all too well the frustration that comes with hair loss.
Whether as a result of illness, damage to the hair follicles, or genetics, hair loss can prove highly damaging to a person’s self-confidence, regardless of gender.
Hair Transplant Methods
Hair loss can be a distressing experience for both men and women. Fortunately, there are various hair transplant methods available today that offer effective solutions to restore your natural hairline and confidence. In this section, we will explore the most commonly used hair transplant methods, each with its unique approach and advantages. Whether you’re considering a hair transplant for the first time or seeking to learn more about the options available, this guide will help you make an informed decision on the best method for your specific needs.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT):
Follicular Unit Transplantation, commonly known as FUT, is one of the oldest and most established hair transplant methods. It involves removing a strip of hair-bearing scalp from the donor area (typically the back of the head) and dissecting it into individual follicular units. These follicular units, which contain 1-4 hairs each, are then transplanted into the bald or thinning areas of the scalp. FUT can yield excellent results, but it does leave a linear scar at the donor site, which may be a concern for some patients.
Key Points:
- Effective for significant hair loss.
- Produces natural-looking results.
- Linear scar at the donor site.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE):
Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE, is a minimally invasive hair transplant method that has gained popularity in recent years. Instead of removing a strip of scalp, individual follicular units are extracted directly from the donor area using a tiny punch tool. The procedure leaves tiny, round scars that are less noticeable than the linear scar associated with FUT. FUE is known for its ability to provide natural-looking results with minimal scarring and downtime.
Key Points:
- Minimal scarring, less invasive.
- Suitable for those with shorter hair.
- Longer procedure due to individual extraction.
Robotic Hair Transplant:
Robotic hair transplant is an advanced technique that utilizes robotic systems to assist in the hair transplantation process. The system helps surgeons with the precision and accuracy of follicular unit extraction. It offers the benefits of both FUT and FUE while reducing the risk of human error during the procedure. Robotic hair transplant is considered an innovative and efficient method for hair restoration.
Key Points:
- Enhanced precision and accuracy.
- Combines benefits of FUT and FUE.
- Can be a more expensive option.
Direct Hair Implantation (DHI):
Direct Hair Implantation, or DHI, is a modified FUE technique that involves the use of a specialized tool to extract, prepare, and implant hair follicles in a single step. DHI offers a quick and efficient way to perform hair transplants and minimizes the time hair follicles spend outside the body, potentially improving their survival rate. It’s an excellent option for those seeking a less invasive procedure with reduced healing time.
Key Points:
- Minimally invasive and efficient.
- Reduced time outside the body for grafts.
- Suitable for smaller sessions.
Benefits of Hair Transplant:
- Natural-Looking Results
- Permanent Solution
- Boost in Confidence
- Customisable
- Minimal Maintenance
- Donor Hair Source
- Versatility
- Age-Appropriate Results
- Predictable Outcome
- Effective for Different Areas
- No Ongoing Costs
- Quick Recovery
- Improved Quality of Life
Hair Transplant After Care:
- Gentle Washing
- Avoiding Sun Exposure
- Minimizing Physical Activity
- Avoiding Smoking and Alcohol
- Prescribed Medications
- Avoiding Touching or Scratching
- Moisturizing the Scalp
- Sleeping Position
- Regular Follow-ups
- Healthy Diet
- Patience in Hair Growth
Hair Loss Solutions
Hair loss can vary wildly from thinning of the hairline to bald patches and can occur anywhere there is hair, including:
- Eyelashes
- Head
- Eyebrows
- Beard
- Chest
While there are ways to disguise hair loss, you shouldn’t have to resort to such measures; not when the solution is just a phone call away. Here at Tajmeel Clinic, we provide hair transplantation services designed to restore your confidence in your appearance. The process is straightforward and typically involves adopting one of two approaches – Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). At Tajmeel Clinic, we utilise both techniques in our procedures.
The beauty of the FUE approach is that it can be used on any area of the body where hair is present, including those areas mentioned above. It can even be used on areas where there is scarring present which prevents natural hair growth. Every treatment is carried out in a controlled environment by our team of specialists. Once completed, you’ll say goodbye to thinning hair and bald patches and hello to hair that is fuller and healthier looking.
Experience Life-Changing Results
Pick up the phone and give Tajmeel Clinic a call to arrange a face-to-face consultation. Our team will talk you through the process and determine the right approach to your treatment. A bespoke treatment plan will then be created with your requirements in mind. The treatment process can take anywhere from 5-10 hours and involves removing hair follicles from the donor area.
The donor area is usually located at the back of the head and contains hair follicles which are genetically resistant to balding. These hairs are collected and implanted onto the recipient area one by one to achieve complete coverage. Once implanted, the follicles will continue to grow as normal, filling in any bald patches and making the hair look fuller.
The procedure itself is relatively pain-free, though a local anaesthetic will be administered beforehand for the patient’s comfort. Once the treatment has been concluded, a follow-up appointment will be scheduled to review and wash the hair. All patients will be advised on everything they need to know to look after their transplanted hair.
