Hair Transplant in Chunni-ganj, Kanpur

Hair loss or hair thinning occurs as a result of aging as well as due to a medical condition. The people who experience either condition choose to go for a hair transplant for different reasons.

Hair transplant is effective but it does not hold the power to reduce or stop future hair loss.

Hair transplant is done to restore hair growth in the areas where there is absent or limited hair growth.

How does the procedure for hair transplant take place?

At Apollo Spectra, Kanpur, two main techniques are used to perform the procedure of hair transplant by obtaining the hair follicles. They are:

  • Follicular Unit transplantation: The surgeon cleans the scalp thoroughly. Using a small needle, he numbs the area of the scalp with local anesthesia. The surgeon then uses a scalpel to make an incision strapping the skin out of the back of your head.
  • After the cut is made, the area is stitched. Using a sharp knife, the surgeon separates the strapped portion of the skin into smaller sections with a magnifying lens. These smaller sections are then implanted and are achieved for natural-looking hair growth.
  • Follicular Unit extraction: Here, the surgeon makes thousands of incisions on the back of your head to obtain the hair follicles. Then, he makes tiny holes in the area which requires hair transplant using needles or blades. The surgeon gently places the hair on these holes.

The surgery generally takes four hours or more. They are then covered with bandages or stitches. These are not removed for at least 10 days.
