What Is Hair Transplant

Hair transplantation is a technique in which the skin having hair follicles is removed from one part of the body and is inserted in another area

. This technique is effective for men suffering baldness. It can also be used for some other areas where hair are not growing for example eye lashes, eye browse and beard. There can be different methods for hair transplantation that can be used. One method is called strip harvesting in which the skin of the donor area is taken out and small pieces of this affected skin are transplanted in the head or area where hair are not growing. In seconds method called follicular unit extraction harvesting, individual follicles are removed from the skin and are reinserted in the affected area. Both methods have their own advantages as well as disadvantages.

In hair transplantation technique the scalp is treated with antibacterial chemicals so that the surgery would not cause infections to the skin. Lot of care and skills of the doctor are required for creating realistic hair pattern. Proper care of the wounds is necessary after surgery and shampooing is recommended after two or three days of the operation. In the start for about ten days all hair fall because of replacement but after two to three months new hair grow up from the hair follicles. The hair show normal growth and become thicker with the passage of time.

Although hair transplantation is a very useful technique but it has some side effects as well. A side effect of hair transplantation can be seen in the start when majority of hair fall because of relocation but this situation is controlled after some time. Many hair fall in the start that result in bald patches. The area of forehead and scalp swells in some cases but it can be controlled with medication. Some people complain of itching so the best way to deal with this condition is to use moisturizer. Massage can also reduce itching. Another side effect seen after many years is that odd patches of hair appear on the skin because of hair loss. This condition requires hair transplantation again.
