Hair Restoration :
Hair Restoration also called as hair transplantation is a minor surgical procedure which helps in restoring the hair. This technique mostly helps in male pattern of baldness where there is permanent hair loss and scarring have started. Hair follicles from a donor site on the same person are collected and placed at the recipient site where no hair is present. The procedure is done under the effect of local anesthesia or mild sedation.
The collection of the donor hair follicles is called harvesting and can be done in two ways known as strip harvesting and follicular unit transplantation. Strip harvesting is where a whole length of the donor site hair follicles are removed in a strip fashion and follicular unit transplantation where individual units containing 1- 4 hair strands are collected. The procedure is small and does not require a hospital stay. People may experience pain, swelling, bleeding at the site temporarily.
