We all like to look great when we are at home or whether we are at the office or attending some party with our friends. Today, we are more conscious about the way we look and therefore, we take every possible step to look better. However, many people across the globe today face problems like hair loss, baldness, scarring and other problems that finally affect the hair. Hence, we are always looking for some techniques that can help us treat the hair loss permanently without any side effects. Hair implants, also known as hair transplantation is a surgical method through which hair loss can be prevented, and one can look great and young as before.
Although hair implant method consists of moving skin from one part of the body to another, but yet it is very different from skin grafting and therefore, there is a lot of confusion among the people about hair transplantation. Normally, hair implants are used to cure problems like male baldness and hair loss, but it is also used for the treatment of beard hair and eyebrows and eyelashes as well. Usually there are two ways in which hair implants are done, and they are strip harvesting and FUE Harvesting also known as Follicular Unit Extraction.
Strip Harvesting method is normally done under anesthesia where a strip of the scalp is removed and cut into smaller pieces of graft and then transplanted back on the patients head. However, it leaves a permanent scar on the head of the donor and the recovery period for it is almost 14 days.
However, FUE Harvesting is much preferred option and is becoming very popular these days where individual follicles of the hair is removed inserted back into the head area using a micro blade. Hence, in this case there is no scar nor any tissue is removed or damage, which means that after a few days of recovery, there will be no signs that operation was ever performed on the patient. Even the recovery period in FUE harvesting is almost 7 days, which is quicker than that of Strip Harvesting. However, proper care must be taken for few months after the hair implants surgery.
