Hair transplant: what is it?

Hair transplantation is a true revolution in the world of cosmetic surgery. Indeed, it has already helped solve many hair problems and fill in hairline gaps. Your doctor will explain that hair transplants are based on a simple principle. It involves using healthy hair to replace your diseased hair. It is simply a collection of follicular units. The doctor will take hair from the back of your head. They will then place it on thinning or bald areas of your scalp. This procedure is not painful and does not require a lot of energy. Once the doctor has placed the grafts, they will explain the steps you need to take to grow them.

The results are more than convincing. Aesthetic medicine is also a cutting-edge discipline. Today, we're talking about robotic hair transplants.

The different techniques

There are two main hair transplant techniques: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUL (Follicular Unit Transplantation).

● FUE technique hair transplant

The FUE technique, or Unit Follicular Extraction, involves extracting hair follicles from a specific area of ​​the head to transplant them to another area. A strip of hair is shaved from that area and the hair follicles are removed by micro-sampling (thin cutting) using a micro-punch to move them to the area of ​​the head where hair growth is desired. This process is very simple and is performed under local anesthesia, making the transplant comfortable and painless. In some cases, the cosmetic doctor may recommend several hair transplant sessions to achieve more satisfactory results.

●       FUL technique hair transplant

Also known as FUT without shaving, FUL or Follicular Unit Transplantation involves taking a strip of scalp from the occiput from which the doctor extracts the follicular units. These are then implanted in the defined area of ​​the head. This technique allows up to 4 hairs to be collected in a single session without the need to shave the harvesting area as with the FUE technique. The result is therefore more natural and aesthetic than the FUE technique. The operation is performed under local anesthesia and the scar is therefore discreet.

FUL is especially recommended for patients (men and women) whose hair density in the donor area is average or even low.

The right actions to take after the transplant

La Hair Transplant is a quick and easy procedure that provides a natural and aesthetically pleasing result. This process is performed under local anesthesia. The doctor will give you advice to ensure you maintain the length of hair you have achieved.

The first tip is to use appropriate products to preserve hair length. Avoid shampooing too frequently, especially those containing sodium, sulfate, or other surfactants. You should also avoid bleaching and perming, which will alter the length and texture of your hair. Finally, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and UV rays.

A healthy lifestyle is also very important to maintain hair length after the transplant is complete. This means drinking enough water, eating healthy foods, exercising, and getting enough sleep. It's important to note that the implanted hair will have the same life cycle as the hair in the donor area.
