How to perform hair transplantation for baldness
Generally, baldness, medically referred to as hair loss or thinning hair, may be caused by genetic factors, unhealthy lifestyle habits, folliculitis, and other factors. Hair transplantation methods may include designing the postoperative hairstyle, preparing the donor area and administering anesthesia, extracting hair follicles, preparing the transplant area, and implanting the follicles. If necessary, these procedures should be conducted under a doctor's guidance. A detailed explanation is as follows:
1. Designing the postoperative hairstyle: The doctor will design a suitable hairline according to the patient's head shape, facial features, and personal needs, and measure the hair density in the occipital region to determine the area of follicle extraction.
2. Preparing the donor area and administering anesthesia: The doctor will shave and disinfect the surgical area, then administer local anesthesia to reduce pain and discomfort.
3. Extracting hair follicles: The doctor will remove a section of scalp and separate the hair follicles, using either manual or motorized extractors to selectively penetrate the superficial layer of the scalp and extract individual follicular units.
4. Preparing the transplant area: The doctor will prepare the area to receive the transplanted follicles, including cleaning and disinfecting the site, and using specific punches to create small holes where the follicles will be inserted.
5. Implanting the hair follicles: Small holes will be made in the balding area, and follicular units will be implanted in the natural growth direction, ensuring they grow properly and blend seamlessly with the surrounding hair.
After surgery, follow-up treatments and medication should be carried out according to medical advice to ensure the successful survival and growth of the transplanted follicles.
