A variety of hair transplant methods Hair transplantation can be done in different ways as follows. FUT method: This method is the oldest method in hair transplant surgery. In this method, the patient is anesthetized and a part of the skin on the back of the head that had hair is transplanted to the bald part of the front of the head, which is obsolete today due to complications such as pain and bleeding. FIT method: In this method of hair transplantation, strands of hair from the back of the head are grafted to the bald part of the front of the head.
However, this method is not used today due to bleeding, postoperative recovery period, the need to repeat sessions, and so on. BHT method: This method is similar to the FIT method, with the difference that for transplanting hair from other parts of the body, hair can be transplanted to the affected area. But this method is also obsolete today due to its side effects like the FIT method. SUT method: This method is one of the newest and best hair transplant methods that has the least complications and is performed in most hair transplant clinics.
This procedure is performed without bleeding and anesthesia and the hair is removed for transplantation with an automatic device. With this method, 14,000 hairs can be implanted in the area with hair loss. Surgical method: In the surgical procedure, the specialist removes a 6 to 10-inch strip from the individual’s hair bank, mostly behind the patient’s head, which contains healthy follicles, and this strip, or flap, is given to the cut team to separate the hair follicle units.
Separate the follicles by microscopes and prepare for the implantation process; This type of hair graft removal from the hair bank is known as FUT. Removing the flap from the hair bank is a specialized job and should be done by a qualified and experienced doctor. In the large complex of Tehran Beauty Center, surgical flap resection is performed with plastic surgery technique, which is called Trichophytic Closure Technique scarlesse, which has the main advantage over FUT method of flap removal from the hair bank without leaving any surgical scar.
Non-surgical method: In this method, there is no more surgery and flap removal, and hair follicles separately using manual punches (FIT) or automatic micromotors (hair transplantation by SUT method) or other similar devices such as Neo Graft and Safer from the bank Hair is removed. To begin, the doctor will first clean the head and then inject the anesthetic into the area; It then removes the hair follicles by punches introduced for each method as hair follicular units.
Finally, the follicular units removed from the hair bank in their special preservative are provided to the implant specialist to perform the implantation process, which is also done with two techniques. In FIT, FUT, SUT and روش methods, a razor blade is used to make millimeter incisions and place hair follicles with special forceps at the bald spot. In another method, which is the latest natural hair transplant technique, an implant device is used, which is called DHI hair transplantation.
Combination hair transplantation: Whenever the baldness is so great that the need for more hair grafts is felt, two surgical and non-surgical methods are used to remove the hair graft from the individual bank, which is called a combined method. Features of DHI hair transplantation: • 4 times higher density than other methods up to 50 thousand hairs • No surgery and no surgical scar left • Use of implants and direct and single-stage implantation of grafts • Withdrawal of the highest graft rate from the hair bank of more than 10 thousand grafts • Completely natural growth with high delicacy due to planting in micro size • Hair line implantation with single hair graft technique to increase the natural state of hair transplantation many times over
Number of sessions and duration for hair transplantation: The number of sessions as well as the duration of hair transplantation can vary in different people that factors such as the number of transferable follicles and the method of choice for hair transplantation can play a major role in determining these two factors. But normally, this operation is done completely in one session. Due to the fact that in FIT hair transplantation and BHT hair transplantation, it is necessary to remove the grafts from the donor site in the form of grains, this method requires more time to perform.
Recovery period after hair transplantation: Hair transplants do not have a long recovery period, but it is necessary to refrain from strenuous physical activity such as exercise for about a month after the implant. In general, after hair transplantation, any activity that causes excessive sweating or increases blood pressure should be limited. However, it should be noted that the duration of this recovery period can vary in different people and depends on the type of implant and the amount of transfer follicles in each person, but usually after 3 to 7 days, the person can return to normal life.
How to sleep after hair transplant: After hair transplantation, it is necessary for a person to sleep at a 45-degree angle for a week and not rest his head on a pillow for at least two nights. The best solution after hair transplantation is to use resting chairs, because these chairs Positions the body so that no pressure is applied to the head. It should be noted that more rest after hair transplantation can help you recover faster after hair transplantation.
Paying attention to proper sleep can reduce the swelling caused by hair transplants. Use a hat after hair transplant: Wearing a hat can protect the planted area from direct sunlight as well as wind or rain. From the third day, the use of hats is allowed. Wear a hat for only about eight hours each day. The hat should be cotton, loose and lint-free. Hair washing after hair transplantation: Washing after hair transplantation should be done with a cloud and shampoo for hair transplantation. The Permanent Manifestation Clinic is one of the few specialized skin and hair clinics that, after opening the dressing, washes the implanted area on the head and teaches this work to people, in order to perform the washing correctly and not to damage the implanted hair.

About 3 months later, the implanted hairs begin to grow sparsely, and after 6 to 12 months we will see the density and the final result. Does implanted hair fall out? It should be noted that the roots of the implanted hairs do not have a testosterone receptor (androgenic) because they were removed from the donor area. For this reason, after the transfer, they are very resistant to testosterone (which causes hair loss) and do not suffer from hair loss.
