A quintessential movie scene revolves around a guy or a girl peeking through the window of a running car as the wind blows his or her hair. As cliché as it might sound, this had turned to be a dream scene for many till the time hair loss became such a common problem. Due to several factors such as stress, pollution, hormonal imbalance, and smoking, regular hair fall has even taken the shape of early signs of balding in most cases. This has given rise to numerous medicated shampoos and hair oils claiming to be an antidote for hair loss. But all of them only work temporarily and harm the hair in the process. The only way one can get a permanent solution to this problem is through hair restoration procedures.
What is a Hair Restoration Procedure?
A hair restoration procedure extracts hair follicles from one part of the scalp and transplants them to the balding area. Surgeons take follicles from the donor site and insert them into the recipient site. You can use hair restoration procedures for brows, lashes, beards, and even pubic hair.
Types of Hair Restoration Procedures
There are two techniques to perform hair restoration, such as:
-
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): In this process, a strip of the scalp containing hair is taken from the donor area. Following this, the follicles are extracted. This is a complete surgical process that leaves a scar on the scalp. Surgeons insert the hair follicles into the concerned area to complete the procedure. Even though it is a method that is no longer widely popular, FUT is a method that brings a very natural-looking result after the surgery.
-
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): This method is a newer version where the units of hair follicles are directly extracted from the scalp, rather than making it a long surgical procedure. Surgeons globally use this method, which offers a faster recovery rate than FUT. They employ a round punch device, smaller than 0.9 mm in size, to treat even the smallest areas.
Who Should Go for Hair Restoration Procedures?
While it is said that hair restoration procedures are the best bet for anyone, there are still a few people who cannot opt for the services. They are:
-
People with post-injury Keloid scars
-
Hair loss due to medication
-
Women who have patterned hair loss
-
People with few donor sites (or practically bald people) lack areas from which surgeons can remove hair for the transplant.
