Hair transplant methods
Punch hair transplant method:
A bunch of hair is removed and implanted where needed with making holes in the scalp. Today, this method is not very popular due to creating an artificial facade, known as a doll facade.
FIT hair transplant method
In this method, surgery is not performed and the implantation is done on an outpatient basis. Fortunately, in the FIT method, hair removal is also done sporadically, so there is no need for stitches. The method of hair transplantation by FIT method is that the follicular units that contain 1 to 4 hairs are removed from the back of the head by a punch (a fine tool) and then placed in the bald area. The FIT method does not create a scar on the back of the head, and at the site of follicle removal, a white spot remains wich is not visible, so it is the most suitable method for people who keep their hair very short.
FUT hair transplant method
Natural hair transplantation by FUT method is too similar to FIT method. In FUT method, the doctor and hair transplant specialist use advanced equipment and devices for natural hair transplantation. The estimated time for hair transplantation by FUT method is 5 hours, during which time the patient is awake and observes all process of the work or can even comment on the hair transplant density. One of the advantages of FUT hair transplantation over FIT is that it does not cut the entire hair of the head, only a thin strip one to two centimeters wide and 20 to 30 centimeters long, the hair is removed from back of the head. The hair transplant doctor then uses special microscopes to determine the grafts after dividing the skin strip. Each of these grafts, which contain the hair roots, are removed separately from the skin and implanted in the desired area.
SUT hair transplant method
The SUT method is one of the best natural hair transplant methods that is performed without the need for surgery and anesthesia. In this method, no incisions or wounds are left and there are no side effects for the patient. Another advantage of the SUT method is the use of automatic equipment and devices through which hair is transplanted up to 3 times more than other methods. In such a way that the doctor and hair transplant specialist can transplant the required amount of 14,000 graphites on the desired part in just one session. Hair transplantation by SUT method, the hair is transplanted with natural growth line and high density. This method is such that others are not able to recognize the implanted hair. In addition, the treatment in this method does not require frequent sessions and is implanted in a short time.
Combined hair transplantation method
The difference between hair transplant methods is in how the hair is removed from the donor area. Basically, the combined hair transplant method is used for people whose baldness is very high. This means that if your hair loss rate is high and it is not possible to cover the area you are considering for a hair transplant with one session, they will basically use this method for hair transplantation.
In this method, a combination of FUT and FIT methods is used to cover the bald area. The first advantage of this method is the very high number of grafts per session. In this method, up to 5,000 hair grafts (about 12,000 to 14,000 hairs) can be harvested in one session and implanted in the bald area.
Because both FUT and FIT methods are used in this method, the density of hair transplants in this method is very high. In people who do not have the possibility of FUT hair transplantation or do not want to have surgery and tape removal, combination hair transplantation is not performed.
The best candidate for hair transplant
People can see the final results of hair transplantation if they have enough conditions to use different hair transplantation methods. One of the most important conditions for a hair transplantation is having a sufficient donor hair, because in all hair transplant procedures, specialists must transfer healthy follicles from donor sites to the bald or thinning area of the scalp.
To have the hair transplant method, the patient must have inherited hair loss, because there are currently more suitable and less expensive methods for treating for other types of hair loss. Of course, unfortunately, some hair loss cannot be treated by using different treatment methods and even of hair transplantation method, the most common of which is alopecia hair loss.
The following people are also good candidates for hair transplants:
