Recently are you worried about looking at your receding hairline? Stop panicking! Hair loss today is no more a problem to lose your sleepover. Currently, there is more than one method of hair transplant is available. However, choosing the right one is the challenge. For that, it is important to visit the right person. For instance, Dr. Kalia, based out of Chandigarh, is one such doctor who will give the best advice in terms of hair transplant methods. Usually, the kind of hair transplant that is most suitable for a person depends on the hair density and size of the bald area.

There are two main techniques of hair transplant based on the way the follicle units are extracted. They are the Follicular Unit Transplantation or FUT and the Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE. The FUT technique is also known as the strip method. Both these methods involve surgery and so proper advice is imperative in order to decide the best method of hair transplant.

In the FUT method, a strip of scalp is cut out from the back of the head and is dissected into individual grafts.

ADVANTAGES OF THE FUT METHOD:

• It helps in covering larger areas of baldness with fewer sittings
• It ensures comparatively lesser resection rates with better results. However, the result largely depends on the skill of the surgeon

What is FUE hair transplant?

The FUE method of hair transplant, on the other hand, involves taking follicular units from the back of the head one by one by cutting around it with a tiny specialized machine and then removing them. The FUE method is comparatively tedious and may take a few hours, but becomes painless after a few numbing injections are given.

Like all other hair transplants, the FUE hair transplant in Chandigarh, offered by Dr. Kalia is considered the best and the most cost-effective.

Some of the benefits of FUE hair transplant offered by Dr. Kalia are the following:

• It does not involve any stitch, incision, or pain
• It ensures that the donor area normalizes within two days
• It gives natural-looking and permanent results quickly
• It involves minimally invasive techniques
• It ensures speedy recovery in most of the cases so that patients can get back to normal activities within a day

As far as the best hair transplant method is concerned, it can be said that the FUE method is better for patients who want to avoid a linear scar at all costs. It also seems a better solution for young patients who might require only a minor treatment and also for those who have a tendency towards extreme scarring. At the same time, if someone likes to wear their hair short, FUE is considered the best method of hair transplant.

To sum up, there is no best or right method of hair transplant. Each of the methods has its own pros and cons. So the decision should be taken in consultation with the hair restoration surgeon.
