Since women have a specific type of hair fall, utmost care and attention is applied throughout the process.
1. Extracting hair follicles:
In women, generally, the entire scalp is not shaved before a hair transplant procedure. To protect the graft and donor area, the surgeon harvests the hair graft with minimal transaction. Hair grafts are well preserved and are utilized to the maximum to avoid wastage.
2. Transplanting the hair grafts:
Our hair transplant surgeon aims to provide highly natural and pleasing results. Therefore, the surgeon implants the graft in small incisions made in the recipient area, observing the angle and direction of the existing hair.
The entire process usually takes around 8 hours to complete. However, the timing depends on the number of hair follicles being transplanted.
3. After the hair transplant process
- The surgeon will give postoperative instructions to the patient.
- Within 3 to 4 weeks, the transplanted hair will fall out and after 4 to 5 months new hair will grow.
- In less than a year, a woman’s scalp will be full.
At Cosmo-Hair Clinic, Dr. Buddhi Prakash Sharma, our expert female hair transplant surgeon implements FUE and Dense Hair Implantation hair transplant techniques.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE):
- The surgeon removes individual follicles from the back of the skull with a micro-punch tool.
- The surgeon makes small holes with a chisel in the area of your scalp that is receiving the hair transplant. They will gently implant a hair follicle into these holes.
- During a single session, a surgeon can transplant hundreds or even thousands of hair follicles.
