Like good health and youth, most of us take a thick head of hair for granted — that is, until it is gone! Hair transplantation is widely considered to be the most effective option for restoring hair because it’s Long Lasting and relatively simple procedure*.

What is Hair Transplant?

Hair transplant (also called hair restoration or hair implantation) is the process of permanently restoring hair by transplanting new follicles into balding or thinning areas. Healthy follicles are taken from other areas of the body, most often the back or the sides of the head.

Types of Hair Transplants

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

It is the latest technique with least downtime in hair transplantation. It is a minimally invasive (no cutting or suturing required, done under local anesthetic) in which hair follicles are individually removed from the patient’s donor area and then individually transplanted to the recipient (thinning/balding) area. You can resume your normal routine immediately post procedure.

Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT)

In this type of transplant, the donor hair is removed from the scalp in one thin, long strip and then subsequently dissected into individual follicular units and transplanted. Longer downtime and there is a small scar on the donor area.

Body Hair Transplant (BHT)

It offers new hopes to people who are no longer candidates for traditional hair transplantation. The hair is harvested from different body sites like beard, chest, back, stomach and hands.

Facial hair transplant (FHT)

• - Eyebrow reconstruction
• - Mustache reconstruction

How is HT at GJ Hospitals and Trauma Centre different from other HT?

GJ Hospitals and Trauma Centre provides Bio-FUE technique which combines the individual extraction of grafts with the Growth factors extracted from your blood. This technique provides better results as compared to rest of the available techniques of FUE.

BIO FUE has the following advantages over regular FUE :

 

• - Improves the growth of hair
• - Improves the healing of the recipient and the donor area
• - Stimulates the stem cells of the implanted hair.
• - Improves the texture of the hair.

 

Knowing about BIO-Therapy

 

Bio-Therapy is based on the concept of using the stimulating & healing effect of human germinative cells (which have got the ability to regenerate various important structures in embryonic life). These cells can be used in various ways so as to cure diseases like blindness, polio, cancer, and spinal cord injuries etc. The treatment is done by taking out cells from the individual’s body itself, which are then injected to the scalp in order to activate the dead cells.

The therapy works on three dimensions:

 

• - It stimulates the stem cells of the existing hair as a result of which the weak hair become strong.
• - The new hair are provided nourishment which helps them to grow stronger
• - The healing of the donor area
