Solutions for Men

A hair transplant is a popular solution for men who are experiencing hair loss or baldness. It is a surgical procedure that involves removing hair follicles from one part of the body, typically the back or sides of the head (donor area), and transplanting them into the areas with thinning or no hair (recipient area). Here are some common hair transplant solutions for men:

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): Also known as strip harvesting, FUT involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area and dissecting it into individual hair follicles for transplantation. This method leaves a linear scar but can yield good results in terms of hair density.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): FUE is a minimally invasive technique where individual hair follicles are directly extracted from the donor area using a specialized punch tool. The follicles are then transplanted into the recipient area. FUE doesn’t leave a linear scar and allows for quicker recovery compared to FUT.

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI): DHI is a modified version of FUE where the extracted hair follicles are immediately implanted into the recipient area using a specialized implanter tool. This technique minimizes the time the grafts spend outside the body, potentially improving their survival rate.

Robotic Hair Transplantation: Robotic-assisted hair transplant procedures, such as the ARTAS system, use robotic technology to assist in the extraction and transplantation of hair follicles. The robotic system can precisely identify and extract individual follicular units, enhancing the accuracy of the procedure.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP therapy involves injecting a concentrated solution of platelets derived from the patient’s own blood into the scalp. This can promote hair growth and improve the health of existing hair follicles. PRP therapy is often used in conjunction with hair transplant procedures to enhance the results and promote faster healing.

It’s important to note that the suitability of each method depends on individual factors such as the extent of hair loss, donor hair availability, and the specific needs of the patient.
