Hair loss can affect confidence and self-esteem, but modern solutions make it possible to restore a natural-looking hairline. At Big Derma, Kolkata, we specialize in hair restoration treatments, including advanced hair transplant techniques. This beginner’s guide explains everything you need to know about hair transplants, helping you make an informed decision.
What is a Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that moves hair follicles from a part of the body (called the donor site) to a bald or thinning area (called the recipient site). It is a permanent solution for hair loss and is commonly used to treat male pattern baldness, female hair thinning, receding hairlines, or scars.
Hair transplants are not just cosmetic—they restore confidence, improve appearance, and offer a long-lasting solution for hair loss.
Types of Hair Transplants
There are two main types of hair transplant techniques:
1. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
FUE is a minimally invasive technique where individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area and implanted into the thinning or bald area.
Benefits of FUE:
- Minimal scarring
- Faster recovery
- Natural hairline design
2. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)
FUT involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area, from which hair follicles are then extracted and transplanted.
Benefits of FUT:
- Suitable for large bald areas
- More grafts can be transplanted in one session
- Permanent results
At Big Derma, Kolkata, we choose the method that best suits your hair type, baldness pattern, and personal preference.
The Hair Transplant Process
The hair transplant procedure is carefully planned and performed in stages to ensure the best results. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Consultation and Assessment
Every hair transplant begins with a detailed consultation. Our experts assess:
- The degree of hair loss
- Donor area quality
- Hair type and density
A personalized treatment plan is created to achieve natural results.
2. Preparing the Donor Area
The donor area, usually at the back or sides of the scalp, is cleaned and numbed with local anesthesia. Hair follicles are then carefully extracted using either FUE or FUT technique.
3. Implantation in the Recipient Area
The extracted follicles are implanted into the thinning or bald area. Precision is key—angle, depth, and direction are carefully controlled to ensure a natural-looking hairline.
4. Post-Procedure Care
After the procedure, patients are provided with aftercare instructions to support healing and maximize hair growth:
- Avoiding direct sun exposure
- Gentle washing of the scalp
- Following a healthy lifestyle
Recovery is usually quick, and patients can resume most activities within a few days.
