Hair Transplantation is an outpatient office procedure performed under local anesthesia.
In FUHT, after local anesthesia, a hair bearing strip of scalp is excised from the permanent donor area. The strip wound is closed using self dissolving sutures/surgical staples.
Individual follicular unit grafts are dissected from the strip under magnification. Meanwhile, recipient slits are created in the bald areas of the scalp using tiny needles/blades. This too is performed after numbing the scalp using local aesthesia. The individual follicular unit grafts are placed into each such slit.

After the procedure, over a period of 5 to 7 days, the needle slits heal and the transplanted hair follicular units are locked firmly placed in their new location.

The patient's scalp is bandaged overnight. The next day, the patient can remove the bandage himself or may visit the clinic for its removal.

There is no need of admission.

We have developed techniques to reduce the discomfort of administering local anesthesis and most patients tolerate this brief period of local anesthesia administration very well. It is somewhat similar to the numbing injections administered by the dentist.

Modern, ultra refined, all follicular unit grafts, give a very natural appearing hair regrowth that lasts till ripe old age. Specific recommendations regarding number of grafts, density etc. are discussed at a personal consultation.
