Hair transplant is one of those treatment options which has saved many people to deal with the issue of hair loss and thin hair. One of the evident reasons, this treatment is the best choice is because of the increasing demand for hair transplant in Bangalore.
During the treatment, the hair follicles are taken from the back of the scalp and then transplanted to where growth is extremely less.

During the surgery, the patient is given local anesthesia which helps the patient to undergo the treatment without any pain or discomfort.

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
- First of all
, the doctor will use a scalpel to extract the strip of hair from the back of the scalp. The incision is a few inches long. Although, if you wear your hair long the incision can be hidden easily.
- After that, the surgeon will separate the hair grafts one by one with a sharp surgical knife.
- Following that, the surgeon will implant them carefully on the problematic area and this will help you get that natural look.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
- The surgeon is going to extract the hair follicles individually from the donor area.
- Once they are extracted, they are kept in a solution for a specific time until they are not transplanted into the bald part of the scalp.
- During one session, the hair doctor can transplant thousands of hair grafts precisely.

Just make sure that you are religiously following the doctor’s instructions like take the medications, after the surgery keep your head elevated, do not get into any type of vigorous exercise, avoid hair wash for a few days, and much more.
