What is a Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring hair in areas affected by hair loss or thinning.
During the procedure, healthy hair follicles are harvested from donor sites, typically the back or sides of the scalp, and transplanted into the balding or thinning areas.
These follicles are strategically placed to mimic natural hair growth patterns, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.
Hair Transplant Surgery
Hair transplant surgery can be performed using different techniques, such as Strip Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) or Follicular unit Excision (FUE), each offering distinct advantages. While the procedure requires careful consideration and may involve some downtime for recovery, it provides a long-lasting solution for individuals seeking to regain a fuller head of hair and improve their overall appearance and confidence.
These options are often chosen by patients who want a permanent and natural-looking solution to hair loss, including many who visit us from London, Richmond, and across the UK.
Strip Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) involves surgically removing a strip of skin containing healthy hair follicles from a donor area, then transplanting these follicular units into areas with hair loss or thinning.
Follicular Unit Excision (FUE)
Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) involves individually extracting hair follicles from the donor area and transplanting them into the recipient area.
FUE is a widely chosen method for hair transplant surgery around the world because it offers minimal scarring and a quicker, more comfortable recovery.
At Parissis Medical, both FUT and FUE are available to patients from London, Richmond and across the UK, with each technique recommended based on individual hair type, goals and the number of grafts needed.
