More and more men are turning to this type of surgery
Hair transplantation involves implanting grafts.
It is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures for men worldwide.
Two types of methods can be used:
- The first is the oldest technique, FUT or "strip method." Today, it is reserved for cases of severe baldness or those requiring significant hair density. It is fairly quick to perform and ensures optimal graft quality.
- The second is FUE, or "follicular unit extraction," which involves removing grafts one by one using a manual or electric extraction tool. The small size of the extraction punch ensures that the scar is virtually invisible, even with short hair. This technique takes longer but is now very popular with patients due to the results obtained and the low risk of the treatment. In addition, maxigrafts can be used to ensure coverage that matches or even exceeds the coverage capabilities of FUT, without leaving any scars.
Regardless of the technique used, local anesthesia is the preferred method, but light sedation or general anesthesia may be used depending on the patient's wishes or medical requirements.
The aftercare is simple, the procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, and the patient can return home the same evening.
The patient is given advice on monitoring and follow-up. The patient is seen again in the following days to remove the bandage and ensure proper healing, then at 6 months to assess hair regrowth.
The result is hair restoration in bald areas: receding hairline, tonsures, frontal line, alopecia, scars, loss of hair density.
Hair transplants can be optimized by prescribing dietary supplements or adjuvant treatments.
Other treatments can be undertaken to improve early baldness (mesotherapy, PRP).
Different causes may coexist and require specific medical treatment.
A diagnosis by a specialist is the first step towards obtaining appropriate treatment.
