A hair transplant is a surgical procedure in which hair follicles are extracted from one part of the head known as the “donor site” and implanted into the balding area of the head known as the “recipient site.” It is considered an effective technique to treat male and female pattern baldness. The donor site is mainly the area that is resistant to baldness and has a significant amount of donor hair e.g. back or sides of the head. You can use a hair transplant procedure to restore your scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and even beard hair. There are two different ways of extracting the donor’s hair. One is Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) also known as strip harvesting and the other is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). Both of these techniques can help you restore your natural hair growth permanently.

The results of hair transplants are impressive. You not only get natural-looking hair back but also live without the fear of losing them in the future. Since donor grafts are obtained from baldness-resistant areas, they do not fall off even under the influence of Dihydrotestosterone. It normally takes about 3 to 4 months for the transplanted hair to start growing and about 8 months to one year to reach theirfull length. You can trim, cut, and style transplanted hair according to your own choice.

A hair transplant is not for everybody. You are an ideal candidate for a hair transplant if you;

• Have a healthy donor area with an adequate hair supply for transplantation.
• Suffer from pattern baldness or hair thinning.
• Lost hair due to any incident like burn or injury.
• Do not have any serious diseases like hemophilia, hepatitis C or HIV.
• Are not allergic to anesthesia.
• Are not diabetic.

In addition to this, if the skin on your scalp is lax, you should not undergo a hair transplant because lax scalp skin is not suitable for the procedure.

Following are some of the commonly used hair transplant techniques in Dubai;

FUT Hair Transplant
FUT strip hair transplant is one of the available options for surgical hair restoration for both males and females. It is best for those who are suffering from permanent hair loss, pattern baldness, or hair thinning. The procedure involves removing a linear strip of hair-bearing skin from the baldness-resistant areas of the scalp to harvest donor’s hair. The strip is then dissected carefully under a powerful microscope to obtain individual grafts, which are then transplanted into the bald or thinning areas of the scalp.

FUE Hair Transplant Dubai
FUE hair transplant is one of the most sought-after hair transplantation techniques nowadays, because of its minimally invasive nature. Unlike the traditional strip method of hair transplant, FUE does not cause linear scarring at the donor area, thus making your hair transplant a natural and concealed process. FUE technique removes the hair follicles directly from the donor site using a specially designed tool and implants them into the balding or thinning areas.

Hybrid Hair Transplant
Hair transplant has now become a commonly known hair loss treatment due to increased awareness. Different hair transplant techniques can be combined , for example a combination of FUE and FUT techniques used to restore hair growth and cure pattern baldness. However, hair transplant techniques are constantly evolving with time due to advanced research and modifications.

Robotic Hair Transplant
Dr. Martain Loonen is the only surgeon in the Middle East region trained on the Artas IX hair transplant robot.

The ARTAS robotic hair transplant method begins by employing 3D technology to help you tailor and plan your hairline style. The best hair follicles for transplantation are then identified and specified by using a high-definition stereoscopic vision system, robotic arm, and ARTAS Artificial Intelligence algorithms. These follicles are then harvested with robotic precision and speed, preserving the natural appearance of your donor area and avoiding linear scarring.

The ARTAS method will also precisely locate and produce an ideal recipient site, as well as implant the extracted hair follicles at the same time. In both the donor area and the new implantation area, the minimally invasive procedure protects your current healthy hair and retains a natural appearance.

• NATURAL RESULTS: Hair growth that is noticeably thicker, natural-looking, and permanent begins about 3 to 4 months and continues over time.
• ARTAS hair restoration technology harvests and implants individual follicles exactly and intelligently without the use of scalpels, stitches, or staples, resulting in no visible linear scarring.
• FAST AND EFFECTIVE: The robotic technology allows for more precision and speed, making the surgery speedier than traditional hair transplant methods that rely on manual labour.

General Hair Transplant Benefits
Hair transplants, regardless of the technology utilised – robotic or otherwise – treat hair loss, which can be caused by hormonal fluctuations, sickness, stress, ageing, or other factors. Hair follicles are put into the scalp, and over time, they grow into new hair that should mix in with the rest of the person’s hair. Of course, there is a physical benefit to this surgery, in the form of a change in appearance. The customer can have a complete, healthy hairline and head of hair again, rather than a noticeable poor patch, thinning hair, or a dramatically receding hairline. Other advantages are psychological in nature. Hair loss or thinning can affect self-esteem and confidence — hair is such an important element of one’s look that it can be a constant source of concern. As a result, the benefit and impact will differ from person to person. Someone who has hair loss but is unaffected by it, who doesn’t mind since it doesn’t bother them, may benefit less from surgery than someone whose confidence has been harmed.

Even for people who haven’t had their self-esteem harmed, there can be advantages: a hair transplant can result in a more attractive appearance, which can help at work and elsewhere. Every type of hair transplant strives to provide the same results, but not all of them are as successful.
