Earlier baldness used to set in late in life and hence was acceptable to many but now it starts to appear in a fairly younger age resulting in poor appearance which further results in low self-esteem causing problems in professional as well as personal life of the individual.
Usually people do not take hair fall seriously till the baldness sets in, they for a long period consider hair fall to be normal or a temporary phenomenon but once the scalp becomes visible through the hair and baldness creeps in, the person begins to panic. Unfortunately by this time, he/she has already lost more than 30-50% of hair. Although one need not to worry because the person always has the option of Hair Transplant.
Hair transplantation is a procedure in which hair follicle is taken from the donor area (which generally is back and side of the head) and is transplanted in the bald area or wherever it is required. This procedure can be done in both males and females and has shown great results in both of them. In fact a lot of male as well as female patients get it done now a day considering its high success ratio and fairly negligible side effects.
Hair Transplant can be done in any area where person feels lack of hair or one desires better hair. Most common area no doubt is front and top of the head; other common areas where transplant is frequently done are Eyebrow reconstruction, Moustache transplant, Beard transplant, etc.
There are several ways to transplant hair but over the period of time only two techniques have survived, namely FUT and FUE. All other names we commonly hear are in a broader sense variants of these two techniques.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a safe, scientific and minimal invasive technique performed by trained individuals resulting in dense natural hair and is virtually scar less wherein no linear scar is visible.
Hair follicles/Grafts are extracted individually from the back side of the Donor area (head, beard or other body parts) with the help of special micro punches (size varying from 0.6mm – 1.0mm). Some surgeons use larger punches but they are now not advised anymore as they leave a big scar.
These follicles/Grafts are transplanted in the bald area of scalp, beard, moustache, eyebrows or wherever they are required.
These transplanted hair grow naturally after brief initial resting phase. They are absolutely natural, person can trim, shave, colour, dye or can do whatever he/she wants to do with them. Any hair style or haircut, any shampoo, gel or oil can be applied. On these transplanted hair, no maintenance is required.
 
															 
															The common causes are Genetics, Chronic illness, stress, smoking, pollution, frequent change of place, hard water in some cases, malnutrition, drug abuse, multiple disorders like PCOS, Thyroid, etc
Male Pattern baldness also known as Androgenic Alopecia (AGA) is the most common cause of baldness in males and occurs due to the male hormone (DHT) which binds with 5 alpha reductase and makes the hair root weak. This is mostly a genetic condition.
In females, baldness is generally seen in area of parting, side of the head or diffuse hair loss from all areas. Common causes in females may be due to Hormonal imbalance.

Medical treatment: It can be treated by using medication which promote hair growth and prevents Hair Loss by either increasing blood supply to the hair or by providing extra nutrition.
Mesotherapy: Pre-fabricated stem cells are injected into the root of hair with the help of minute injections which makes the hair stronger and healthier.
PRP Therapy : Platelet Rich Plasma is made from the patient’s blood with the help of skilled individuals and high end machines. This platelet rich plasma is injected in to the roots of hair follicle with fine needles. The growth factors in these platelets help reduce hair fall, increase in thickness of hair and growth of new hair follicle from latent roots.
Hair Restoration: Also known as Hair Transplant is THE ONLY and BEST PERMANENT SOLUTION TO BALDNESS. It is the only treatment present world-wide amongst all treatments which can give you new follicles which will grow naturally.
Modified Follicular Unit Extraction also Known as FUE technique is the latest technique used worldwide. This revolutionary technique involves individually extracting single hair follicle from the back and sides of the head using special surgical instruments. Each unit is subsequently transplanted in bald areas of the scalp.
Since FUE is the latest and least invasive technique without any stitches so there is negligible scarring.
NO, general anaesthesia is generally not required in Hair Transplant. The surgical hair restoration procedure is most of the times performed under local anaesthesia. We only anesthetise the donor and recipient areas hence during the procedure patient is not only awake but keeps talking or reading and can even walk around if he/she wants to.
