Types of Hair Restoration Methods offered at Wockhardt Hospitals:
- Follicular Unit Transplantation in treatment of hair loss:
In this type of hair transplant surgery in which a strip of follicular units is taken from the donor site, dissected and then placed in the recipient site. This hair transplant procedure either uses the strip harvesting method or a form of direct extraction called follicular unit extraction. A follicular unit is a naturally occurring cluster of hair follicles in the scalp. A unit can consist of 1, two or three hairs and on a few rare occasions, four hairs.
- Follicular Unit Extraction (fue): this innovative hair transplant procedure involves the removal of follicular units, one by one, before inserting them into the recipient area. On the plus side this is a minimally invasive procedure which produces great results.
- Body Hair Transplant
Body Hair Transplant (BHT) uses the same principles of extraction as FUE, but the hair is extracted from various parts of the body and not from the scalp. BHT is a relatively new form of hair replacement; and in certain special situations it may be considered for hair restoration
- Scalp Micropigmentation:
Micro hair pigmentation, also named Tricopigmentation, is a non-surgical treatment which uses the latest technology to create the effect of a full head of hair. This hair transplant restoration technique is desired in case you are too young for a hair transplant, bad donor area, faster result, and not a candidate for surgery.
