Hair transplantation has gone through several evolutions and innovations in order to become what it is today and how helpful it is for the people who are undergoing hair loss problems. Baldness can be very depressing and dealing with it could be the only desire of any person who is suffering from it. Hair restoration surgery has made it possible to get back your natural hair. UK is one of the highest rated nations who have severe problem of baldness.
Previously there was a technique used for treating baldness and that was known as The Strip Harvesting technique. Every person may not be the candidate for this kind of surgery. There are some limitations of the surgery and only those people who have larger donor area than the bald area are the best candidates of the Strip Method. In this procedure the strip of hair follicles is removed with the help of a scalpel from the donor area of the scalp. The removal of the strip leaves a linear scar and that is stitched and bandaged later like any other surgical procedure. Now the hair follicles are separated from that strip and these are planted in the hair loss patch. These restored hairs take a couple of months to show their growth. This whole procedure is painless due to the injection of the local anesthesia.
Hair transplantation has evolved and it gives way to the more aesthetic technique that is called Follicular Unit Extraction. This procedure is highly acclaimed by people and many stars, cricketers, politicians and high profile people have taken advantage of this technique because it gives more natural look, it is undetectable and it is a scar less or no touch technique. It can provide more dense and packed hair implantation. In FUE method, the chances of getting hair replant increases for those people whose scalp has little donor area because this technique makes it possible to extract hair follicles from any hairy part of the body like chest, arms, legs, back of the body etc. The hair follicles are taken out by making very tiny circular punches one by one with specially designed instruments under stereo microscopes. These punches could be as tiny as 0.25-1.25 mm. Later these hair grafts are implanted to the bald spot. Only a specialized and an experienced surgeon can perform this procedure. The whole surgical process is painless because the scalp is made numb with the help of local anesthesia. There is no hospitalization is required. This technique is ideal for the people who have high blood pressure, diabetes or cardio diseases. A person can carry on his daily activities the very next of the treatment.
There is normally no major side effect of hair transplant surgery if done by an experienced surgeon. A patient is prescribed to take antibiotics to deal with any likely chances of infection in the wound. Some painkillers are prescribed to minimize any discomfort or pain after the surgery. Hair re-growth starts after 3 months of the surgery and visible hair growth can be seen after 9-12 months of the procedure. The transplanted hair keeps growing all life because only those hairs are replanted which are strong enough to grow life time. So now you can enjoy a younger looking and impressive personality which you were deprived of due to hair loss.
