Understanding Hair Transplant Techniques
In a hair transplant, healthy hair follicles are carefully transplanted to bald or thinning parts of the scalp from a donor area, usually the back and sides. These transplanted follicles maintain their natural growth cycle, resulting in permanent hair growth in the recipient area. Two primary hair transplant techniques are utilized at Beverly Hills Hair Restoration:- Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): This minimally invasive technique involves extracting individual follicular units (groups of 1-4 hairs) from the donor area using a specialized micro punch. These extracted units are then meticulously implanted into the recipient sites, creating a natural hairline and density.
- Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): This strip harvesting technique takes a small strip of scalp out of the donor region. The individual follicular units are then meticulously dissected from this strip under high magnification and implanted into the recipient sites.
Benefits of Hair Transplant Surgery
Hair transplantation offers numerous advantages for those seeking to address hair loss:- Natural-Looking Results: Advanced techniques like FUE ensure minimal scarring and a natural, aesthetically pleasing hairline.
- Permanent Hair Growth: Transplanted hair follicles maintain their growth cycle, leading to long-term, permanent results.
- Minimally Invasive Procedure: FUE and FUT are outpatient procedures with minimal discomfort and a relatively short recovery time.
- Improved Confidence: Regaining a full head of hair can significantly boost self-esteem and confidence.
- Low-Maintenance: Transplanted hair requires minimal maintenance and can be styled like your existing hair.
Hair Replacement Surgery Cost: A Breakdown
The cost of hair transplant surgery can vary depending on several factors:- The extent of Hair Loss: The degree of baldness or thinning will determine the number of grafts needed for adequate coverage. A larger area will require more grafts, thus impacting the overall cost.
- Surgical Technique: FUE is generally a more meticulous and time-consuming procedure than FUT, which can be reflected in the cost. However, FUE offers minimal scarring and a quicker recovery time.
- Surgeon’s Expertise: Dr. Kehan’s extensive experience and proven track record contribute to the procedure’s overall value.
- Geographic Location: Costs can vary slightly depending on the clinic’s location and operating expenses.
