Hair Transplants Surgery

When one decides to explore for solutions to restore hair loss, he or she should reach all the information and implications of the several hair transplants treatments of each method. The main hair transplants surgery methods available on the market are Follicular Unit Strip Surgery also known as FUSS, Follicular Unit Extraction also known as FUE, Density Hair Transplants and Crown Hair transplants.

Follicular units are the hair little groupings. In each health follicular units there are 1 to 3 hairs.

Follicular Unit Strip Surgery - A narrow strip of follicular units is taken from the back and side of the scalp (donor area). Each follicular unit is provisioned in order to assure it is a healthy unit. The next stage is to implant the follicular units in the balding areas of the scalp. The implanted hair areas will heal in few days.

Follicular Unit Extraction - An individual follicular unit is harvested each time using a small sized punch (up to 1mm). The next stage is to implant the follicular units in the balding areas of the scalp.

Density Hair Transplants - Hair density is measured in the number of follicular units per square centimeter of the scalp. Dense packing is performed in order to restore a sufficient hair density for aesthetic appearance.

Crown Hair transplants - The crown area of the scalp is a challenging one for hair transplants. The hair on this area has a spiral pattern. Beyond the pattern aspect there is another issue that makes it even more challenging and it is the size and potential size of the balding area on the crown which depends on the quantity that the donor area can supply. These challenges have solutions like mixing scalp donor area follicular units with other parts of the body donor area, reducing the hair density and of course having the hair transplant surgery made by an experienced and skilled surgeon.
