What is a Hair Transplant Procedure and Why Should You Get It?

 

Watching your hair fall is depressing. More so when you feel you are in the pink of health but what goes on internally is often unknown to man. On an average, a person loses about 50 to 100 strands of hair every day but this often goes unnoticed because hair generation keeps happening simultaneously. However, it is when you start noticing excessive hair fall, bald patches on your scalp, thinning of the hair on your scalp, it's indicative that a trip to the cosmetologist is due. Do not worry if they diagnose you for Alopecia Areata, it is the medical term for hair loss. 

This process can be understood a bit better by knowing what causes hair loss. 

·         Heredity and hormonal changes are the most common reasons cited for hair. 

·         Strong medication to treat any pre-existing illnesses may also cause hair loss, such as being exposed to chemotherapy radiation for cancer treatment. 

·         Certain hairstyles and hair treatments involving chemicals can also cause damage and scar the scalp. Hairstyles like tight ponytails or hair buns can cause traction alopecia, another term for hair loss due to excessive pulling of the hair. 

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

A thicker-looking, healthy head of hair can be a key element of your identity. Your cosmetic choices are deeply personal, and enhancing your hair via the FUE method can be a life-changing experience. This method is done by taking individual hair follicles from your skin and shifting them to a different part of your body where the hair grows thinner or is absent. 

A method of micro punching is observed wherein surgeons extract single follicles and transfer them, showing almost no signs of extraction. This method is safe and mostly painless. Only minimal scarring is observed with minor swelling, redness and sensitivity. This treatment is also convenient and does not take up a lot of recovery time before reaching its final stage of healing. There can be multiple 2-3 hour sittings without the need to be admitted for it. It is an outpatient procedure for the most part of it. 

However, certain precautionary measures should be taken to avoid infection or anything that may delay recovery time. 

·         Do not expose the operated area to water for at least 48 hours after the surgery.

·         Drink plenty of fluids and do not scratch the area despite itchiness

·         Avoid direct exposure to the sun’s rays

·         Eat healthy and have a nutritional rich diet with ample calcium, magnesium, protein, iron, vitamin B6, zinc, biotin and protein.

·         Completely avoid the use of hair styling products and chemicals
