What Is Hair Transplant Surgery?

Hair transplant surgery is a minimally invasive procedure designed to restore hair in areas affected by thinning or baldness. It involves transferring healthy hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back or sides of the scalp) to the recipient area. This process ensures natural growth patterns, allowing the transplanted hair to blend seamlessly with your existing hair. At APDerm, our experts utilize the latest technologies and techniques to provide outstanding results tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

Our Hair Transplant Techniques

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

FUT, or the strip method, involves removing a thin strip of scalp from the donor area, dissecting it into individual follicular units under a microscope, and transplanting them into the thinning or balding area. This method is ideal for patients needing a larger number of grafts and results in a natural-looking hairline and excellent coverage and hair density when proper scar management techniques are implemented.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

FUE is a minimally invasive procedure where individual hair follicles are harvested from the donor area and transplanted to the recipient site. This technique gives patients natural-looking results with precise placement of follicles. Because it leaves no linear scar, it offers more flexibility in hairstyling and is a great choice for patients who prefer to wear their hair short.

No Shave FUE

For patients seeking maximum discretion, we offer the No Shave FUE technique. This method allows hair transplantation without shaving the donor area, making it nearly undetectable during recovery. Because this technique maintains the appearance of the donor area, it’s an excellent choice for professionals or those who wish to maintain their current hairstyle throughout the process.

The Hair Transplant Process

Consultation

We offer a comprehensive consultation to evaluate your hair loss, scalp condition, and overall health. Based on your needs, our experts will recommend the most suitable transplant technique.

Preparation

Before the procedure, we’ll design a natural hairline and outline the areas to be treated. For FUE procedures, donor area preparation is minimal, especially with the No Shave FUE technique.

Surgery

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort. Our team meticulously extracts and transplants hair follicles, focusing on precision and natural aesthetics.

Recovery

Hair transplant recovery is typically quick, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few days. Post-procedure instructions include scalp care, avoiding strenuous activities, and following a prescribed hair care routine.

Results

Transplanted hair begins to grow naturally after a few months, with full results visible within 12-18 months. The transplanted hair behaves like your natural hair and can be styled as desired.

Non-Surgical Treatments to Enhance Your Results

In addition to hair transplant surgeries, APDerm offers non-surgical solutions to enhance and maintain your results:

  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy: Stimulates hair growth and strengthens existing follicles
  • Low-level laser therapy (LLLT): Promotes scalp health and reduces further hair loss
  • Topical and oral medications: Supports hair growth and minimizes shedding
  • Nutritional support: Addresses deficiencies contributing to hair loss
