Hair transplantation, also known as hair implantation, involves using specialized extraction and implantation instruments to individually extract donor hair follicles from the occipital region at the back of the head. After separation and screening, these follicles are orderly implanted into areas with hair loss or thinning, enabling the hair in these areas to grow naturally again.
Hair transplantation is suitable for all healthy adults. For example, people with unsatisfactory or high hairlines, baldness, thinning hair, alopecia areata, or those who need local hair reshaping.As long as there is an adequate area of hair follicle supply, hair transplantation can be carried out.
The hair follicles in the occipital region of the human body are not easily affected by testosterone hormone and do not fall out easily. Therefore, when hair follicles are collected from these areas and implanted into the areas in need, the transplanted hair is less likely to fall out.
Anesthesia is injected during the operation, and no pain will be felt. After the operation, everyone's pain tolerance is different, and the degree of pain varies from person to person. Generally, it is tolerable. If you feel that you cannot tolerate it, you can use medication under the guidance of a doctor to relieve the pain.
The effect is immediate, visible right after implantation, especially for long - hair non - shaving transplants. Implanted follicles survive within 12 hours. They need an adaptation period, and the long - term effect shows up in 3 - 6 months.
Generally 3 - 6 hours. It depends on the number of follicles implanted and the surgical plan. More follicles mean longer surgery. For the same number, long - hair non - shaving transplants take slightly longer than shaving ones, and special - part transplants take a bit longer than regular hair transplants.
Hair transplantation surgery is relatively mature, and the risks are small. For some problems such as traumatic hair loss and uneven hair growth, by choosing the right doctor and institution and taking good care after the surgery, most of these risks can be avoided.
There will be no scars in the implantation area. As for the area where the hair follicles are extracted, since the hair follicle tissues are very small, the scars are basically invisible after healing. Moreover, the location is very hidden, so there is no need to worry about it.
