However, they are still human and the effects of age affect them as much as it affects us.

Consequently, even they started losing their beautiful hair at some point, but when you look at their recent photos, it does not seem like they have really lost anything. How is it possible you ask? Well, the first answer simple they underwent something known as a “Hair transplant Surgery”.

You may have heard of this term somewhere, but if you have not well there, you have it. Even though, this procedure is popular today and can be, done almost anywhere, in the past it was not a similar case. However, what if we told you that now even you can undergo a good hair transplant right here in Kolkata? Well, stay tuned to find out more.

What is a Hair transplant and how is it, done?

We all want to look beautiful and impressive and no matter how much people popularise the concept of “Inner beauty”, it is, also true that “The First impression is the last impression”. Being, a man or a woman is tough as it is, on top of that when the heavy tide of age hits and the nightmare of hair-loss becomes a reality it becomes even tougher to take care of your looks. In the past it was almost taboo to even think that growing back your hair after a certain age as possible, however, with the recent advancements in the medical field, now it is not only possible to grow your glamorous hair back but almost make it look like you never lost them in the first place.

A typical hair transplant surgery is, done to add more hair to a particular bald or balding area by extracting hair follicles from the much denser parts of the scalp or other parts of the body and grafting them on the thinning area. A Hair transplant surgery is not only limited to growing back hair on the head but, it can also be applicable to almost every part of the body like the chest, beard, eyebrows, etc. Hair transplant surgery is the most effective hair restoration technique among many others, such as the use of minoxidil. The first Hair transplant surgery was, performed in Japan in the year 1939, with single scalp hairs. However, over time there have been various new techniques that have been, utilised for transplanting much more hair and in much more efficient ways. The FUT or Follicular Unit Transplantation is one of the modern techniques that has been,successful in achieving natural appearance by mimicking natural hair growth.

Hair transplants are usually the most successful if you are balding or have lost hair due to some injury. However, as the name says, it is a “Hair transplant” surgery and you would need hair from somewhere on your own body to be transplanted on the balding areas. Hence, the procedure cannot be as effective when you have widespread thinning or balding, deep injuries, or hair loss from some procedures such as chemotherapy. There are many different advantages to Hair transplant surgery.

  • Strengthen your mien: This is perhaps the greatest advantage and one of the prime reasons why people opt for this surgery. All of us want to appear good to people and a good Hair transplant surgery can help you in that. Many people also suffer from low self-esteem because of the inferiority complex they get from their looks, especially men who suffer from balding. Again, Hair transplant surgery can be the answer to all of these problems.
  • Look natural: As discussed earlier, Hair transplant surgeries have come a long way. Today many advanced techniques are available that can literally make it look like you never even lost your hair even if you had done a Hair transplant surgery to achieve that look.
  • Lifelong growth: The procedure itself is, carried out meticulously and may need you to attend two or more sessions to get a complete result. However, once the procedure is,done you do not need to undergo any other surgery again; your new-transplanted hair will grow lifelong just like your other normal hair.

These are some of the many advantages of Hair transplant surgery. However, it is a medical procedure there are some risks associated with it such as scarring and infection if the procedure is, not done properly. The patients’ co-operation is also crucial to avoid unnecessary complications.

FUT and FUE are the two procedures commonly used by surgeons. The surgeon will decide which procedure to use depending on various factors related to the patients’ desires and overall scalp health.

  • FUT: In the procedure known as FUT or Follicle Unit Transplantation, the surgeon makes an incision of several inches on the back of the head to cut out a strip of scalp skin from the back of the head. The incision is then, closed up with stitches, the cutout strip is separated into smaller sections that are then, used for implantation, and the newly transplanted hair can grow naturally as the other hair. As the technique uses a strip of hair scalp to transplant as opposed to using single hair follicles the technique is also commonly, known as FUSS or Follicle Unit Strip Surgery.

  • FUE: FUE also known as Follicle Unit Extraction is another Hair transplantation procedure. This is a much more tedious procedure than FUT. In this procedure, the surgeon will usually make a lot of tiny holes or “Punch Incisions” on the area that is receiving the transplant. The hair follicles for the transplant are again, taken from the back of the head, but instead of cutting out a strip, the hair follicles are “Extracted” by making tiny holes. These hair follicles will then be, placed into the punch incisions that were, made on the balding area. This procedure hence needs to be, done meticulously.

A Hair transplant surgery is not so much time consuming, they typically take up to 4 hours to complete and usually are painless without any side effects. It is a minimally invasive surgery, however, because the surgery requires making an incision on your scalp, your skin may feel a bit sore and you would usually be prescribed painkillers or anti-biotic medicine to ease it. In some cases, you may also find your newly transplanted hair to fall out but this is nothing to worry about, as it will make way for new hair to grow. Your physician might prescribe you some hair re-growth medication such as minoxidil or finasteride too. 

In the end, Hair transplant surgery can help you continue growing new hair in the previously balding areas. The appearance of the new hair however depends on the health of your scalp, the density of hair follicles in the transplanted area, the general quality of hair, and many other factors. The cost of this surgery actually is surprisingly affordable. Although the cost is more than traditional methods such as medications, shampoos, hair oils, etc. the surgery also has a lot more to offer than traditional methods too. In the end, the cost of the surgery does not really matter if the patients’ needs are too serious.
