Even if you don’t have your hair anymore on your head, science and the best dermatologist in Islamabad, Prof. Dr. Ikram Ullah Khan got you covered. There are certain hair transplant techniques that can help you bring back a fuller look, a head full of hair.

Since 1950, the doctors in the U.S. have been using certain techniques to bring back your hair. These techniques are called Hair Transplant Techniques. It is a surgery that requires hair from donor side and fill area having thin or no hair at all. Over the period of time, these techniques have evolved a lot and there are numerous changes to them in recent years.

What is a hair transplant?

A hair transplant is a procedure in which the professional or the dermatologist take the hair from the rich hair side of your head and moves to here, on the area that is bald or have a thin line of hair. Usually, the back side of the head is rich with hair follicles, so the follicles are taken from the back side of the head and are moved on the top or front side. Hair transplants should only be done by professionals in a proper skin clinic or hospital under local anesthesia.

Causes of Hair Loss

The major form of hair loss is patterned baldness also known as alopecia areata. One may develop alopecia areata due to genetics. Though there are other factors that can result that can lead to hair loss. These include

Diet
Stress
Illness
Hormonal Imbalance
Medications

Different Techniques of Hair Transplant

Hair transplant can be done using different techniques. Two of the major and the most advanced techniques are DHI, direct hair implantation and stem cell therapy. Here we will discuss both of these techniques in detail.

DHI Direct Hair Implantation

DHI follows an advanced hair transplant procedure. A senior dermatologist or a senior surgeon will perform this DHI hair transplant for this purpose. Here she will remove the hair follicles which are at the back of your head and implant them on the areas that are experiencing hair loss. These implanted hair follicles will eventually grow into new hairs. Below is a list of whatever you should expect from a DHI hair transplantation.

As a first step, the dermatologist will shave your head and apply a local anaesthesia in order to ensure least pain experience.
As a second step, the dermatologist will use a fine tool with a fine tip to extract the hair follicles from the donor site that is most of the times back of your head.
In step 3, the hair follicles extracted from the donor site are loaded into a pen-shaped tool. This pen-shaped tool help to implant the hair follicles on the recipient site which is the site that has least hair growth or no hair at all.
The fourth and the final step includes application of antibiotic cream along with bandage on all sites.

The direct hair implantation surgery almost takes 7 to 8 hours for completion. But it is in the exact time. The exact time depends upon the number of hair follicles being implanted. The complete results of this surgery can be observed within 12 to 18 months.

The Unique Benefits of DHI Hair Transplant

DHI has some unique benefits that makes it stand out from other hair transplantation method. Some of them are:

Safe and Secure

DHI is extremely safe and secure procedure provided that it is done by some experienced or highly qualified dermatologist such as Prof. Dr. Ikram Ullah Khan.

Minimal down-time

DHI does not require a lot of time off from your work. You can return to your daily activities just in a few days.

Painless Procedure

DHI is extremely painless procedure, only local anesthesia is applied to the patient. He can then comfortably listen to music, watch TV and even take a nap.

Natural Results

DHI produces highly natural results. One who undergoes DHI surgery does not look like having some dramatic change. Rather the change is gradual and natural but permanent.

Ideal Candidate of DHI Hair Transplant

Anyone who is suffering from androgenic alopecia, which is also known as pattern baldness, is an ideal candidate for direct hair implantations. Here are some of the specifications of an ideal candidate of direct hair implantation surgery:

Age Factor: Hair loss before the age of 25 is quite unpredictable. So, anyone who wants to undergo a direct hair implantation should at least have age over 25 years.
Hair Thickness: The effectiveness of treatment also varies according to the thickness of the hair. Individuals having thick hair shows better results as compared to individuals with thin hair. It is because thicker hair gives each hair follicle better coverage.
Donor Site Hair Density: The donor site hair density also play a very vital role. The patients having hair density which is less than 40 follicles per square centimeter at the donor site are not good candidates of DHI hair transplant.
Hair Color: DHI hair transplants work best for individuals having light hair colour. Ideally, people with the hair colour matching their skin tone get the best results.
Real Expectations: DHI isn’t a miracle. So, individuals having realistic expectations are more likely to enjoy the results.

Stem Cell Hair Transplant

A hair stem cell transplant is a technique that involves getting stem cells from a patient’s hair and implanting them in areas experiencing baldness or thinning. Unlike the other methods that involve transplanting of hair follicles from one region to another this technique deals with the stimulation of dormant hair follicles thus being a non-surgical method of hair restoration.

Candidates seeking stem cell therapy for hair do so in a bid to achieve total volume addition. It is ideal for youthful patients with low body weight and those who desire a non-surgical procedure that can yield long-term results comparable to conventional surgery. Stem cells awaken the inactive hair follicles and so they are widely used instead of other treatments.

The Stem Cell Hair Transplant Procedure

Harvesting Stem Cells: Sources of stem cells are from different regions of a patient’s body, adipose tissue or scalp and stem cells from other donors.
Isolation and Processing: The harvested cells–those such as stem cells– are then extracted and subjected to REGENERA ACTIVA treatment in the laboratory to obtain the regenerative fractions.
Activation & Enrichment: According to the dermatologists, certain activation therapy including exposing the stem cells to growth factors and other stimulating agents enhance the process of stem cells regeneration.
Application to the Scalp: Stem cells are activated as well as enriched before being placed on area of hair loss or thinning hairs.

Ideal Candidate of Stem Cell Hair Transplant

Studies has pointed that stem cell hair transplantation can be beneficial in dealing with diverse types of hair loss including:

male androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness)
androgenetic alopecia (female pattern baldness)
cicatricial alopecia (hair follicles are destroyed and replaced with scar tissue)

Side effects to expect

It’s common after a hair transplant to have:

a mild headache and painful
tight and puffy scalp for 2-3 days
Some temporary scab formation where the hair was extracted or implanted
a single scar or several hardly noticeable scars
