You may have one of the problems mentioned above causing hair loss for women as men. While some of these temporary, some might be permanent. Considering hair transplant operation, consulting a hair specialist for professional help is crucial. The hair that develops in the natural hair cycle over some time is reduced by discoloration. And this is how the natural hair cycle continues. Your hair will be lost all day long and will be replaced. It’s normal to lose 100 hair strands every day, but in some places, there are more than 100 spills and holes are a sign of a problem.
There are many ways in which hair loss can be avoided. However, if applied effectively, the most efficient and satisfying solution among them is hair transplantation.
Before the procedure, the doctor will determine the number of follicles needed to achieve a decent result and the natural look, some tests and also included. Specific questions to find out if your case is appropriate for hair transplant surgery and to identify the donor area. The donor area is the main supply for grafts. This area is typically the backside of the hair for men, especially in cases where beard hair can also be added to achieve the maximum number of grafts.
Things to be considered before the operation:
- Wash your hair before the surgery
- Avoid cigarettes and alcohol one week before surgery
- Wear a simple outfit like a shirt on the day of the service
- If you are under medication, you must warn the doctor
- Do not apply lotion, hair spray or conditioner to hair before hair transplantation.
- Do not have a big breakfast or lunch just before the surgery.
Hair transplantation is performed under local anaesthesia to prevent pain, the hair of the donor region is trimmed, and the grafts are removed one by one, but not at regular intervals to stop exposure or dilution in the donor area. On completion of the extraction, the safe grafts are removed and placed in 100 rows in a particular area. The number of transplant grafts needed varies based on the region length and visibility, the thickness and hair form of the recipient. Once all these operations have been done, a front cut line will be established to verify the face shape and natural appearance of the patient, then the channels will be opened, and the grafts will be transplanted. Depending on the number of transplants to be performed, the period of procedure varies, while the standard is 6-8 hours.

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers about Hair Transplant
The cost depends on the type of hair and the procedures to be used; hence, the price can be calculated only after the examination of the doctor.
Hair transplantation is no longer a painful process because of the way it is performed today. Nonetheless, the doctor decides what a patient should use in the event of any discomfort because otherwise, it is not felt as it is applied under anaesthesia during the procedure.
The hair is washed during the first two days after transplantation, and bandages are made on the donor area. There is no discomfort, swelling or bleeding after the procedure, but in the transplant area, there will be crapping around the grafts. You will return to your healthy life after a few days of rest determined by your doctor.
You don’t have to stay at the hospital after hair transplant operation
We can take from other body parts, such as the hair if more grafts are required.
The head is often shaved in preparation for the FUE procedure. It’s possible to shave your head immediately after the procedure, but it’s probably best to wait for three weeks. The appearance of the shaved donor region can depend on a procedure’s total number of FUE grafts. FUE removes intact follicular from the donor region. This will result in less follicular units. When 25% of the follicular units are withdrawn from the donor area, this will leave gaps in the donor area where follicular units have been removed in an attempt to transfer them to the top. However, the number 1 guard will hide these gaps. You can clip to number one at any time after the FUE procedure.
