Is hair transplant safe and permanent or? Those who are considering the hair transplant option often worry about this. The good news is that hair transplantation is known for its permanent and natural effects. Hair loss is mainly associated with the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) that causes hair to fall. During hair transplantation, the newly transplanted hair grows irrespective of the effect of DHT. Thus, this new hair continues to grow and offer a permanent solution. You can see the new hair come through as early as 4 to 5 months after the procedure, you can see and enjoy the fuller look and permanent effects of the transplanted hair in about 10-12 months. These transplanted hairs continue to grow for the rest of your life.

By choosing the right clinic, and the right surgeon to conduct the procedure, you can minimize the risks and complications.
There are two types of procedures: FUE and FUT. FUE Technique (Follicular Unit Extraction) involves harvesting the grafts or follicles one by one from the donor area at the back of the head. FUT, Follicular Unit Transplantation, is the conventional method, also called the strip method, wherein the hair specialist takes a strip of hair-bearing skin from the back of the scalp.
FUE is a less invasive technique and there is minimum scarring involved. After transplantation is complete, there are no requirements of stitches and it will only leave small, practically invisible scars. While in FUT a large cut is taken and requires more time to recover. The pain experienced after surgery also varies according to the technique used.
Both these methods are safe and are done by experts in hair transplantation.
The choice of procedure is based on availability of donor hair and balding patterns. FUE can be particularly suitable for patients with less donor hair available on the head and who wants to use body hair.
Both these procedures have been used in the hair industry for years and with recent innovations with respect to equipment and techniques, such as the introduction of a robotic system for harvesting grafts makes the process safer with little or no side effects.
The most assured way to get the successful outcome is to choose the right hair professional to perform the procedure.
