How Hair Transplants Work: A Step-by-Step Process at Bellus Clinic

Hair loss can be a difficult experience for many, impacting self-esteem and confidence. At Bellus Clinic, we understand these concerns and offer advanced hair transplant procedures to help you regain your hair and confidence. Let's explore the step-by-step process of how hair transplants work at our clinic.

Initial Consultation

The journey begins with an initial consultation. During this session, our specialists assess your hair loss pattern, discuss your medical history, and understand your goals. This helps us determine if you are a suitable candidate for a hair transplant and which method will be most effective for you.

Choosing the Right Technique

At Bellus Clinic, we offer two main types of hair transplant techniques: Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). Both techniques involve transplanting hair follicles from a donor area to the thinning or balding areas of the scalp.

• FUT: Involves removing a strip of skin with hair follicles from the donor area, usually the back of the head.
• FUE: Involves extracting individual hair follicles directly from the donor area.

Preparing for the Procedure

Once the suitable technique is chosen, our team will guide you through the preparation process. This includes pre-operative instructions such as avoiding certain medications and alcohol. We ensure that you're fully prepared and comfortable before the procedure.

The Hair Transplant Procedure

The actual transplant process starts with local anesthesia to numb the donor and recipient areas. For FUT, a strip of skin is removed, and the area is sutured. For FUE, individual follicles are extracted using a specialized punch tool. The extracted follicles are then carefully implanted into the thinning areas, following the natural hair growth pattern.

Post-Procedure Care

After the procedure, our team provides detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing and growth. This includes advice on washing your hair, avoiding strenuous activities, and attending follow-up appointments to monitor progress.

Expected Results

Hair growth from transplanted follicles is a gradual process. You may notice initial shedding, which is normal, followed by new growth. Most patients begin to see noticeable results within six to nine months, with full results visible after a year.

At Bellus Clinic, we are committed to helping you achieve natural-looking results that restore your confidence. If you're considering a hair transplant, our experienced team is here to guide you through each step of the process.
