Hair Transplant
Hair transplantation is one of the most effective ways to restore hair on the scalp. It is done when there is insufficient hair on the scalp or completely absent. It is a microsurgical operation where hair follicles are removed from the donor site and implant them into the bald area of the scalp.
In the procedure, local anesthesia is sufficient, where the patient remains conscious and also don’t feel any kind of pain during the hair transplant procedure.
Depending upon the baldness stage and the graft required by the patient, the operation can last from 4 to 8 hours. As a rule, the source of follicles for transplantation is the back of the head, beard or chest.
The procedure’s effectiveness is about 90-98%. There will be no change in growth rate and structure of hair after the hair transplant. As with a closer inspection of hair, it is impossible to distinguish to know the hair transplanted with healthy normal hair.
For hair transplantation usually for the recipient area, the hair is taken from the back of the head, chest, and beard. Transplanted follicles begin to reproduce full hair in 80-120 days.
In some cases, when the patient if having allergic reactions, blood pressure, overweight or any certain diseases then the procedure is carried out under the supervision of an anesthesiologist.
Generally, the doctor takes hair from the occipital and lateral part of the head for doing hair transplantation because of the resistance of the bulbs to the negative action of dihydrotestosterone. The hair bulbs from the frontal and parietal are very sensitive which falls out usually.
When Hair Transplant Required
Hair transplant is necessary if the person is suffering from:
Androgenetic alopecia
Focal and diffuse alopecia
Reduce in hairline
Lack of hair in beard or mustache in men
Need high density on the scalp
Mainly People Suffer from:
Androgenic Alopecia – This problem usually happens where a person is suffering from genetic hair loss. It occurs when the hair follicles become too sensitive due to testosterone. Both men and women suffer from this problem. Men become bald, and in women, the thickness of hair reduces and the bald patches in the parietal region.
When there is no way to restore the hair and correct the appearance, then hair transplant is an effective treatment.

Best Method for Hair Transplant ( FUE or FUT )
There are many ways to do hair transplants such as DHI, BHT, FUE, and FUT.
The best-recommended method is FUE hair transplant.
However, the FUT method is also favorable to provide the best result.
Why FUE procedure is the best for Hair Transplant
For hair transplantation all over the world preferred technique is the FUE method because in this process a special instrument is used to remove grafts from the donor area. (Special tool known as punch; generally it breaks through the skin, removing small areas of 0.9mm, containing hair follicles)
The specialty of FUE method, it doesn’t leave extensive scars as FUT do.
After the graft extraction, it is inserted into the bald zone. The procedure is painless; rehabilitation is faster and non-traumatic. In Rejuvenate Hair Transplant you will also get an accurate calculation of the number of grafts, here Plasma is used as graft holding solution which further improves graft survival. Also, simultaneous hair implantation(SHI) is done to improve the results of hair transplant.
The success rate is higher, and it also allows giving you a high density on the scalp. With the help of the FUE method, you get a natural look hairline.
This FUE method is can also be done in advanced grade of baldness because of the increase in the donor area from scalp to beard and chest.

Disadvantages
FUE Method is time-consuming
The procedure is time-consuming because there is an extraction of each graft separately. Hence the FUE procedure provides an excellent result.
Survival
FUE grafts may get more injured during the process of planting if not taken care of. At Rejuvenate hair transplant centre we use No touch to root technique for implantation to prevent even the microtrauma to the bulb.
Price
The price of the FUE method is higher, and the doctor has a lot of work to do from removing the follicular hair by the piece instead of cutting off the skin and giving it to assistants who will cut it into pieces.
Whenever you find the price is low then the operation maybe not done by the certified surgeon. It increases the risk of life, cause infection or any specific major issues. Best hair transplant result you will get who are the members of ABHRS, ISHRS or AHRS.

Just after the hair transplant operation, the growth of new hair begins. It takes almost 1-2 months to appear hair on the scalp. However, to get the full hair restoration, the patient required at least around 8 -9 months. Below see a result of 5 months.
