Hair loss has become one of the issues, which has been a cause of concern as far as appearance, personality and psychology of the person is in question.

Earlier it was known as a problem affecting strictly the male population but females are also affected in significant numbers and it causes psychological trauma more in females.

Apart from androgenic alopecia which is a common cause of baldness there are other medical causes like autoimmune disorders, endocrine or hormonal disorders, trauma or scar, traction alopecia, nutritional deficiencies, chemotherapy, radiotherapy to mention a few.

Once considered as the sign of ageing, hair loss is now occurring in many age groups across the spectrum. The involvement of younger age groups in addition to genetic predisposition can be attributed to stress, crash dieting, environmental pollution, smoking, unhealthy hair care habits.

Conservative as well as surgical options for treatment of hair loss are available depending on the stage of hair loss. In androgenic alopecia hair transplant offers a permanent solution to the problem if one is the candidate for it.

In view of the rising problem, hair transplant in Delhi has picked up a lot due to many advantages and the affordability, which the centers in Delhi provide without compromising the quality.

What is Hair Transplant?

Hair transplant is a surgical procedure in which hair follicles from the donor area are transplanted into the recipient area. The donor area is the area which is also considered as a permanent hair bearing area as the follicles here are resistant to the effect of DHT hormone. The donor area is typically the back and the sides of the scalp area but other areas can also be used for this purpose like beard, chest, upper back etc. The recipient area is the area where the hair loss or the baldness has occurred. The dimension of this area depends on the stage of baldness. The Hair transplant can be scalp to scalp, it can be body hair to scalp transplant or it can be facial Hair transplant.

There may be certain factors which may affect the decision and planning of the procedure:

• Degree of baldness
• Medical health
• Diagnosis
• Hair characteristics like hair diameter, hair color
• Patients expectation
• Donor area
• Age of the patient
• Family history of baldness

Techniques of Hair Transplant

There are two basic techniques based on the follicular unit principle. The difference in these techniques is the method of harvesting the hair follicle whereas other steps of surgery essentially remain the same.

The two commonly used techniques are follicular unit transplant (FUT) and follicular unit excision (FUE).

In FUT a calculated length of skin strip from the scalp is harvested. This strip is then prepared and dissected into vertical segments of follicular unit thickness. These units are then placed in preservative or holding solution and are placed in the recipient sites.

In FUE very small punches are used for extraction and these follicles are then removed with the help of fine delicate forceps in order to prevent any damage to the follicle.

There are many types of FUE variations available but the basic technique remains the same.

• Manual FUE where the punches are used manually by rotating around the follicle.
• Powered FUE using the micromotor and powered hand with small micro-punches.
• Vacuum apparatus along with powered FUE for extraction.
• Robotic FUE

Now a days FUE has gained much popularity due to the advantages provided like

• Since scarring is less visible, styling the hair is not an issue
• Donor site laxity and density are not a significant deterrent
• Postoperative pain and discomfort is less
• Postoperative healing time is less.
• Follicular group of specific size and diameter can be specifically targeted by the doctor.
• Extended donor areas can be targeted for harvesting the follicles if required like beard, chest, back etc.

Hair transplant in Delhi is offered by many centers which provide good services and excellent results but all the centers may not be as good as you want them to be. So, one should select the center based on their experience of consultation, research about the reviews, talking to previous patients and studying their portfolio.

Steps of Hair Transplant Surgery

After all the initial check-up and paperwork, the patient is given pre-medication. Once the hypersensitivity to drugs is checked, the patient is taken to the procedure room after changing into OT dress.

Local anesthesia: It blocks the pain and makes the area numb where it is given. It is infiltrated into the scalp or any area where one needs to do the procedure. One can use topical cream sometimes before the injections so that the prick of the injections is also not fully felt.

Making of the recipient slits: Recipient slits are the spaces made by the doctor keeping in mind the direction and angle of the natural existing hair in that region. The density of the transplanted hair also depends on this stage of the surgery. It is very important that the operating doctor has a good amount of experience in the procedure otherwise the whole procedure may become a problem.

Graft extraction: Extraction of grafts is done in a way so that quality grafts are harvested. This is the step where the experience of the doctor counts as only an expert can harvest grafts without much wastage and without transection.

Implanting the grafts: The harvested grafts are placed in the slits which were made by the doctor. The key is delicate handling of the grafts while placing it.

Hair Transplant Result

The actual result of the hair transplant surgery is evident in 10-12 months, depending on the patient.

The result of a hair transplant depends on many factors. So it is very important to assess each patient carefully to determine the candidacy and also to counsel the patient about the realistic expectation.

General patient factors: These factors indicate the overall health of the patient. The presence of co-morbidities like diabetes, hypertension or another chronic disease may affect the overall result. Cigarette smoking is also a risk factor for a poor outcome. Age of the patient is one of the important factors while counseling and marking the areas for transplant. There will be the difference in the hairline design of a young patient and that of a comparatively older patient. In young patients, one important factor is the anticipated further hair loss which the surgeon should keep in mind while planning hair transplant in a comparatively younger age group.

Donor Area Factors: The level of miniaturization of follicles and its effect on the donor area is one of the points that determine the availability of donor grafts and their characteristics like if the donor's hair is fine, thin or weak, then it will adversely affect the result. Other factors that contribute are the density of hair in the donor area, donor hair diameter, hair to skin colour contrast and the texture of the hair.

Factors during surgery: These are the factors where the experience of the surgical team, including the assistants, comes into play.
Hairline designing and hairline creation are some of the factors which decide the cosmetic result of the procedure. The experience and knowledge of the doctor will come into play in this part.

Graft handling: The blunt trauma to the bulb area, transection of the grafts and dehydration of the grafts are common types of injury that may take place during harvesting and handling of the grafts. These can result in poor graft survival and hence the poor result.

Hair Transplant Recovery

Recovery time after FUE hair transplant is comparatively faster as compared to FUT.
After the surgery, antibiotics and analgesics may be prescribed to prevent any infection and to make the patient comfortable from any discomfort. One may experience some swelling on the forehead 2-3 days after the procedure, which may take 4-5 days to subside. So. It is better to take a few days off from the office if swelling occurs.

Some patients may have mild itching during the healing period, which is generally not problematic, but if it is bothersome, then you should contact your doctor. Your doctor may prescribe some antihistamines. These medications should only be taken after consulting your treating doctor. There may be some redness and discolouration on the recipient area, which generally fades over a period of time.

There may be a period of temporary shedding which starts 3-4 weeks after the surgery and may continue for 10-12 weeks. This shedding may be complete, or it may be there in some areas. Generally, after the shedding, transplanted follicles start to grow.

Is hair transplant the only option?

It is a very common question that may arise in the mind of any person who is going for the procedure. The treatment options depend on the underlying cause of the problem, stage of hair loss. Surgical treatment is recommended if the patient is a suitable candidate for hair transplant. In early hair loss where there is only thinning one should avoid transplant. In these patients it is always good to address the problem conservatively with the help of medicines and if required one can go for PRP injections. In cases where baldness is of a very advanced stage that means where no donor is available, hair transplant is not advisable. Results of hair transplant are really fruitful if the experienced doctor and the team do the procedure.

Identifying and treating the underlying cause is the mainstay of the management of any disease.
