A hair transplant is a procedure in which a surgeon relocates hair from one part of the scalp, usually the back or sides of the scalp, to areas affected by hair thinning or baldness.
These donor follicles are genetically resistant to hair loss, which allows them to continue growing normally even after transplantation. As a result, the procedure restores permanent, natural-looking hair that blends seamlessly with existing hair.
Hair transplantation is a well-established medical procedure designed to manage hair loss by redistributing a person’s own healthy hair follicles. Instead of creating new hair, the procedure works by carefully harvesting follicles from dense, stable regions of the scalp, commonly referred to as donor areas, and implanting them into zones where hair has thinned or stopped growing. Because these follicles come from areas less affected by hair loss, they are able to grow normally once transplanted.
Also known as hair replacement or hair restoration, the procedure is primarily used to treat male pattern baldness. Still, it is also effective for certain cases of female hair loss, as well as restoring eyebrows, and beards. This makes hair transplantation a flexible solution for both scalp and facial hair restoration needs.
Hair transplantations are safe when performed by qualified surgeons, though they do carry some risks, such as infection, scarring, or unnatural-looking results if not done properly or not done by certified and trained surgeons only. The success of the procedure depends on several factors, including the extent of hair loss, the patient's hair type, and post-operative care. When performed correctly, a hair transplant can significantly improve hair density, restore a natural hairline, and boost overall confidence and appearance. Following the surgeon’s pre- and post-procedure instructions is essential for achieving the best possible outcome.
There are mainly three techniques used in hair transplantation: Direct Hair ImplantationTM (DHI), Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). Each technique varies in how hair follicles are extracted and implanted, depending on the patient’s needs.
The DHITM is more advanced than the FUE and FUT techniques. Performed at DHITM Clinics by expert surgeons trained and certified by the London Hair Restoration Training Academy (LHRTA), the DHITM technique delivers 100% natural-looking results, involves no scarring, no scalpels, no downtime and is virtually painless. This advanced technique allows for greater precision, improved control over hair direction, design, density, angle and faster recovery times.
