Restoring Your Confidence with Each Hair Transplant Graft at Diva Clinic

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

In FUE, individual follicular units containing one to four hairs are harvested directly from the donor area using a small punch tool.

• The donor area is typically the back or sides of the scalp, where hair is genetically resistant to balding.
• The harvested follicular units are then implanted into the recipient area, where hair loss has occurred.
• FUE is minimally invasive, leaves no linear scar, and allows for quicker recovery compared to FUT.
• This method is suitable for individuals with minimal hair loss or those who prefer short haircuts as it does not leave a visible scar. Thanks to technological advancements, a significant area of baldness can now be covered in a single FUE session, using a blend of scalp and beard donor hair.
• FUE is a minimum invasive technique where we harvest minimal skin tissue from the donor area leading to minimum wound and scar formation resulting in maximum post operative comfort level. Recovery back to work is fast.

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

FUT involves surgically removing a strip of scalp from the donor area, usually the back or sides of the head, where hair is abundant.

• The strip is dissected under a microscope to obtain individual follicular units, which are then transplanted into the recipient area.
• FUT allows for the transplantation of a large number of grafts in a single session, making it suitable for patients requiring extensive hair restoration.
• While FUT can achieve excellent results, it leaves a linear scar at the donor site, which may be visible if the hair is worn short.
• This method is ideal for individuals with advanced hair loss or those seeking maximum graft yield in a single session.

Finding a Medical Practitioner:

Choosing a reputable medical practitioner is vital. During the consultation, discuss various medical issues, including:

• Physical health assessment
• Medical history, including previous surgeries and reactions to medications
• Hair evaluation, family history of hair loss, and prior treatments
• Risks and possible complications of the procedure
• Any medications currently being taken or recently taken
• Preparations for surgery, including detailed instructions from the medical practitioner

Immediate Post-Surgery Care:

Following surgery, expect:

• Swelling, feeling of heaviness on head, and possible numbness
• Dressings or bandages may be applied, with bandage worn for two or three days
• Formation of small scabs across the treated areas of the scalp

Complications of Hair Transplant Surgery:

Potential complications include risks related to anaesthesia, such as allergic reactions. There may be risks of bleeding, infection, scarring, and nerve damage. In some cases, further surgery may be required. It's important to address any concerns with your medical practitioner before undergoing the procedure.

Self-Care After Hair Transplant Surgery:

Following surgery, it's crucial to adhere to all wound care instructions provided by your medical practitioner. Avoid engaging in strenuous activities that may increase blood pressure and risk of bleeding. If you experience any unusual symptoms, promptly report them to your medical practitioner for proper evaluation and management.

Long-Term Outlook After Hair Transplant Surgery:

Following hair transplant surgery, most patients experience successful hair regrowth within a few months. While initial shedding may occur, new, permanent hair gradually emerges. Scarring from the procedure typically fades over time, blending with surrounding hair. Touch-up surgeries may be recommended for optimal results, addressing any areas of concern. Overall, patients can expect natural-looking, lasting improvements in hair density and appearance, enhancing their confidence.
