Hair Transplant Trends That You Need to Know
Hair transplant surgery has become very popular over the last decade. The procedure involves removing hair from the donor area and then placing them in the recipient area. This is done using micrografts or follicular units.
There are two types of hair transplants: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation). Both methods involve extracting hair follicles from the back of the head and implanting them into bald areas.
There are several trends in hair transplant procedures. One trend is the use of miniaturized grafts. These tiny grafts are extracted from the scalp and implanted into the recipient area. Another trend is the use of single-hair transplant techniques. Single-hair transplant techniques allow surgeons to extract only one hair follicle at a time.
The following list includes some of the most common hair transplant trends.
- Miniature Grafts
Miniature grafts are small sections of tissue that can be used for hair transplantation. They are usually extracted from the scalp and inserted into the recipient area with a needle. There are many different ways to extract these grafts, including punch biopsy, strip excision, and follicular unit extraction.
- Single-hair Transplants
Single-hair transplantation allows a surgeon to remove only one hair follicle per session. It is often performed on patients who have thinning hair. A single-hair transplant may also be performed as part of a larger hair transplant procedure.
- Laser Assisted Hair Transplantation
Laser assisted hair transplantation uses lasers to help extract the hairs. Lasers are powerful tools that can cut through tissues without damaging surrounding cells. In addition, laser assisted hair transplantation can help reduce scarring after the procedure.
- Minimal Scarring
Minimal scarring refers to minimal incisions made during the procedure. Incisions should not leave visible scars.
- No Scalp Flap
A scalp flap is an area of skin that covers the top of the head. During a traditional hair transplant procedure, this area is removed and replaced by new hair follicles. However, some people do not want their scalp flaps removed because they believe it makes them look older than they actually are.
