Understand Hair Transplant Procedure

Hair transplantation is a surgical method for restoring the hair on scalp and eyebrows. This procedure has been using by cosmetic surgeon in the U.S. since 1950. It is regarded as the most effective way of hair restoration around the globe. Surgeons of Dubai have also started using this procedure as they love to offer an aesthetically natural look to their patients. In case you are confused about this method then it is right time to understand what exactly it is.

Hair Transplant in Dubai is performed normally in a private clinic equipped with all advanced technologies, tools and machinery. A cosmetic surgeon removes a narrow hair bearing strip from the back of head and use it to cover an area of scalp having thin or no hair. Back of head is known as Donor site while hair loss affected site is named as recipient site. Mostly, hair transplant surgery is performed under local anesthesia.

Surgeon injects an anesthesia for numbing the donor area from where he needs to remove a 3-4 inch of tissue strip. He closes the scalp through stitches after removing the tissue strip. He divides the removed strip into 700 to 200 tiny grafts containing either an individual hair or a few hairs. Numbers of grafts are completely dependent on the size of area to be covered hair type, hair color and quality. Surgeon cleans the recipient site and then numbs it with anesthesia. He uses a fine needle or scalpel for making tiny holes into the scalp. Once recipient site is ready, he starts inserting the graft into them.

This whole procedure takes approximately 4-6 hours. Some patients may need another session of Hair Transplantation in Dubai, if they want more hair density in recipient site.
