What is Hair Transplant?

Hair restoration

Hair grafting

What does it do?

Hair transplantation is a surgical technique that moves hair follicles from one part of the body called the 'donor site' to a bald or balding part of the body known as the 'recipient site'. Really, what the surgeon will do in hair transplant procedures is harvest hair, usually from the back or side of the head, and transplant it to a bald area. Usually, these hair transplant procedures are carried out under local anaesthesia in a doctor's office.

Pattern baldness is a form of hair loss that is genetic in nature for most cases. Factors like diet, stress, infection, sickness, hormonal imbalances, and medications can also contribute. Hair loss can affect your confidence and overall happiness. A boost of self-confidence after hair loss can enhance your work and quality of living.

A hair transplant surgery might be the answer if other treatments fail. It helps you grow your hair, especially in the bald or thinning areas. Here at Harley Street Skin Clinic, our hair transplant surgeons can give you the best hair transplant with results that restore your confidence and make you feel like yourself again. A hair transplant surgery is the best option for those who have already tried other treatments that haven't worked, giving you optimal results.

Several benefits include:

  • Fuller hair
  • Thicker strands
  • Natural look
  • Permanent results
  • Confidence boost

Types of Hair Transplant

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

Hair Extraction Method: A strip of hair from the back of the head is surgically extracted.

Scarring: Leaves a clearly visible linear scar at the donor site, which makes it more noticeable with short hair but can be concealed by long hair.

Recovery Time: Recovery times vary; the linear and minimal scarring may extend that slightly compared to FUE hair transplant.

Suitability: Perfect for large total hair restoration in one treatment but leaves a visible linear scarring which can be easily covered with long hair.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

Hair Extraction Method: Individual hair follicles are removed from the donor site.

Scarring: Scars may be very small, scattered less noticeable dot-like scars which can be more easily covered by short hairstyles.

Recovery Time: Fast recovery in most cases because the extraction is less invasive, which makes for smaller wounds to care for.

Suitability: Ideal for minimising visible scarring, best utilised in smaller sessions or dependent on donor hair reserves.

The Hair Transplant Procedure

Steps in hair transplantation

How does hair transplantation work?

Once your scalp is cleansed, the surgeon applies a small needle to an area of the head with local anaesthesia. There are 2 ways to harvest follicles for hair transplantation:

The FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)

Using a scalpel, the surgeon removes hair-bearing skin from the back of the head in an area cards would cover. After that, the area is sutured. A strip of scalp is cut into small sections with the aid of a magnifying lens and sharp knife. The portions assist in natural hair growth following implantation.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)

Many tiny punch incisions are made in the back of the head, and healthy hair follicles are extracted from there. The surgeon then makes small slits with a blade or needle in the area of the implant and places each hair delicately into these holes.

After the Procedure

In one session, a surgeon may transplant hundreds or even thousands of hairs. You will have grafts, gauze, or bandages placed over your scalp for a few days following the procedure.

Duration of the treatment

How long does the hair transplant treatment take?

A hair transplant surgery can take 4 or more hours to complete and stitches are removed ten days after. You may need three or four sessions in order to achieve the head of hair that you desire and time between each session so your scalp can effectively heal.

Pain management during and after the procedure

Does a hair transplant hurt?

Since hair transplant is a surgical procedure, you may feel little discomfort at times. A local anaesthetic is administered at the beginning so that surgery takes place without any pain. The first injection may sting a little depending on the person, but the surgery itself should be painless.

You are awake during the procedure and experience everything. It is uncomfortable as you will feel some pulling and tugging, but the local anaesthetic works well at managing any pain.

The treatment is painless, but your scalp might be a little sore after the anaesthetic has worn off. The scalp is traumatised somewhat during surgery, and this causes redness and swelling of the skin for a few days. This will be especially true if you had a large number of grafts placed. If you experience some pain and discomfort after surgery, prescription medicines may be given to relieve the pain, reduce swelling, and prevent infection. Often this minimal discomfort subsides after a few days. After that, your new hair will begin to grow in a few months.

Lifelong results of hair transplantation

How long does the result of hair transplant last?

The majority of the hairs transplanted will have fallen out at one month following hair transplant. After which, about three months later, new hair starts to grow. By six months, the transplanted hair takes on its natural appearance, and new hairs will continue to grow for a lifetime. The back where the hair was harvested shrinks to an almost invisible stitch line.

Pairing PRP hair therapy with other treatments

Can you combine hair transplant with other hair loss treatments?

Hair transplants paired with other hair loss treatments will increase the hair density. Hair loss medication like Minoxidil or finasteride stops further hair loss as well as strengthening your existing hairs. But a hair transplant surgeon should be consulted to determine if this combination is appropriate.

Natural, thick and healthy hair can be achieved with personalised hair transplants and treatments from Harley Street Skin Clinic experts.

Hair Transplants Before & After

The remarkable difference a Harley Street Skin Clinic treatment can provide

Hair transplantation is when we take grafts from areas of your scalp where hair is still growing to implant them into the balding or thinning spots. The process is delicate, but our professionals at the clinic understand the procedure in-depth and will take careful care throughout the procedure to ensure a good outcome.

We'll first inject a numbing agent into the back of your head to ensure that you aren't uncomfortable during the process. During your consultation, the practitioner would have discussed how many grafts you'll need and what type you'll require to ensure that the procedure has the best chance of success and that you'll love the results.

PRP Hair After

Your practitioner bases the number of grafts on your hair type, the colour, and how large the area needs hair transplants. Once your head is numb and the site is prepped, the team will begin removing hair follicles to make however many grafts necessary.

The practitioner will number the balding or thinning areas before beginning to insert the grafts. This part of the procedure gets done through slits, and your practitioner inserts the hair grafts. Depending on how many grafts you require, the entire process can take between four to six hours, if not longer.

Several weeks after the procedure, you'll see the hair beginning to fall out and make room for new growth. New hair should continue to grow for the rest of your life, but if it's not or you want thicker hair, you might need another hair transplant. You'll be amazed at how quickly new hair can begin growing, and we're positive you'll love the results you'll see.

Am I Suitable?

Who is the ideal candidate?

For our hair restoration surgery, age and gender are often not an issue. They are still useful for people over 70 and those with baldness in their thirties. Even younger patients could be alright, but it's better to be careful. This may apply to both men and women who have patterns of hair loss.

The ideal candidates for the hair restoration procedure are those who have healthy hairs present on the sides and back of their head from where we harvest the grafts. It's better to get treatment before hair loss becomes irreversible while existing hairs can still help camouflage initial stages of the process.

What are the risks?

Can a risk be prevented?

  • Infection: This can occur on the reduced scalp due to tension from pulling in surrounding tissue, causing bleeding or wider scars.
  • Graft Survival: Some grafts may not survive and establish roots, requiring additional surgery.
  • Shedding and Patchiness: Ongoing shedding of hair after surgery can lead to a patchy look, requiring more surgery.
  • Bumps: Small bumps where transplants have been placed can be hidden by other hair.
