What is a Hair Transplant?
A Hair Transplant is a permanent hair restoration surgery where your own hair follicles (usually from the back or sides of the head) are relocated to balding or thinning areas.
These follicles are genetically resistant to hair loss — so once transplanted, they continue to grow naturally for life.
Ideal for male pattern baldness, receding hairlines, crown baldness, and trauma or scar-related hair loss.
Various Types of Hair Transplant Surgeries
- FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
- Most advanced and popular technique
- Individual hair follicles are extracted one by one and transplanted to the bald area
- No stitches, no linear scar
- Minimal downtime, natural results
- FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation / Strip Method)
- A strip of scalp is surgically removed from the back of the head
- Follicles are separated under a microscope and transplanted
- Leaves a linear scar; suitable for those needing high graft count
- DHI (Direct Hair Implantation)
- A subtype of FUE, using CHOI Implanter Pens
- Hair follicles are implanted directly after extraction — no slits required
- More precise angle and depth control, less trauma
- Body Hair Transplant (BHT)
- When scalp donor area is limited, hair is extracted from chest, beard, or back
- Used to supplement scalp grafts in advanced baldness cases
Step-by-Step Hair Transplant Procedure
- 1. Consultation & Planning
- Hairline design, baldness grade, and donor area are evaluated
- Graft number and technique (FUE/FUT/DHI) are decided
- 2. Local Anesthesia
- Scalp is numbed — no general anesthesia needed
- 3. Graft Extraction
- Depending on technique:
- FUE/DHI: Individual follicles are extracted
- FUT: A strip is removed and dissected
- Depending on technique:
- 4. Graft Preparation
- Follicles are sorted by quality, size, and number of hair roots
- 5. Graft Implantation
- Hair grafts are carefully placed into tiny incisions made on the bald area
- Natural angle, direction, and density are maintained
- 6. Recovery
- Tiny scabs fall off in 7–10 days
- Hair shedding happens in 3–4 weeks (normal)
- New growth starts from 3rd month, full results by 9–12 months
