Hair transplant methods and their description:
- Patchwork (FUT): classic method. A skin flap is taken from the donor area. After separation, grafts with tweezers are transferred to the nodules, which are made with a scalpel. The specified method is currently rarely used, as it is highly traumatic, poor healing of the skin. Regrown hair does not look thick.
- Operational (Strip): the method is similar to the previous one and consists in the fact that small areas of skin with hair containing up to six grafts are removed from the back of the head and divided into tiny strips. The method is used if the donor zone is not particularly dense.
- Seamless (FUE): FUE hair transplant surgery on the head implies that the hair will be removed from the back of the head. At the next stage, they will be implanted in the problem area of the skin. A special machine, a device with a punch, extracts sections of the dermis with follicles up to five millimeters, then the material is cut into grafts, units containing up to five hair follicles, grafts are introduced into the incisions or punctures with a curved needle. The best method for those who need an eyebrow transplant.
- With the non-surgical method, skin damage is practically excluded. In the process, special needles are used, with a diameter of 0.5 to 0.9 millimeters, and with the help of an implanter, the follicle is lowered to the required depth for implantation without incisions and punctures.
The seamless method is allowed to be applied only once. The classic patchwork method is about three times.
The advantages of a seamless method are as follows:
- transplanted hair is not prone to loss, does not show signs of alopecia;
- lack of discomfort during surgery;
- bulb extraction is not associated with skin lesions.
How is a hair transplant done on the head using the BHT method? The operation is a hair transplant from individual parts of the body (back, chest) to the scalp, eyebrows, beard. This method is recommended for patients with weakened, sparse hair and is considered a donor.
Hair transplant on beard and eyebrows
This cosmetic operation is minimally invasive, allows you to restore the growth of the eyebrows due to their loss or insufficient density. Seven days later, there are no signs of surgery.
When the hair is transferred to the beard, its density can be increased, as a result of which the shape of the face is adjusted, and the scars at the location of which the hair growth stopped, are hidden. For this zone, 175 grafts are implanted.
Patients receive a beard of the necessary shape, without experiencing any discomfort or discomfort. Minimally invasive instruments are provided for the method. There are no cuts.
Alopecia Transplant
The first degree of alopecia requires from 500 to 1000 grafts. This amount is enough to restore hair on small areas of the scalp. Minor bald patches on the forehead, alopecia of the first degree determine this procedure.
An amount from 1000 to 2000 grafts is necessary to restore the hairline, corresponding to alopecia of the second degree and with pronounced bald patches on the forehead.
Reviews

Reviews of men about a hair transplant on their head:
- Frequent climate change, flights, lack of vitamins can lead to hair loss, which is difficult to restore to an advanced degree. All kinds of mousses and tonics help to stop the loss for a while. The solution to the problem "rests" on the cost: patients are concerned about the fact that there are clinics that charge for the examination, while the problem is already obvious ... The main issue of hair restoration is deciding on the choice of the clinic.
- Men advise before the procedure to visit several clinics and talk with different specialists to choose the only surgeon who seems experienced enough.
- Representatives of the stronger sex claim that the operation is painless, although there is some burning sensation. However, the result is worth it.
- Many men regret that the transplant procedure takes a very long time. To begin with, anesthesia of the occipital region should be performed, and then cut through it with a tube. It takes about 6 hours. Over the next hour, incisions are made in the area where the hair is transplanted. The follicles are then removed from the back of the head and immediately implanted in the wells. At this time, several specialists can work on the patient. Men note that transplanting 2,500 grafts takes fifteen hours. However, the good news is that the breaks are not limited: at any time you can get up, eat, visit the toilet and take a walk, just get distracted. Many men ask for six breaks, including lunch. After the procedure, doctors bandage the back of the head, cleanse the forehead and surrounding areas. Then, a special hat is put on the head to avoid skin irritability immediately after surgery.
- However, not everything is so smooth. Some men admit that at night they bleeding, which is logical, given the number of punctures in the skin. To stop the blood, put bandages on. For the first couple of nights, sleeping in a hair transplant area is prohibited. Also, do not touch the hair with your hands. After a while, calm and comfort come. In the healing process, clients rarely use painkillers. On the second day, edema disappears. A forehead with transplanted hair can noticeably swell. But this is the norm for 1000 grafts. Edema passes after five days. All these days are rarely painful. On the sixth day, the edema completely disappears. On the seventh day, many men already wash their hair. By this time, the transplanted hairs already grow by two millimeters. In public, it’s real to appear in twelve days.
- Some men report that their transplanted hair looks slightly weakened. Due to the lack of makeup on the bulb, most of the hair that has been transplanted falls out. New and stronger hair begins to grow after three months. Places of transplanted hair continue to heal, and these areas are highlighted in red. Five days later, the skin brightens completely. Many representatives of the strong half are satisfied with the result.
Women transplant reviews:
- Many girls admit that surgery to restore hair on the head is very popular. In addition, she regains self-confidence and the joy of life. And while some women suffer from an inferiority complex due to hair loss, others use advanced technologies that look great.
- Girls also use the procedure for eyebrow transplantation. There are situations when women do not have eyebrows at all, which looks extremely unaesthetic. However, thanks to surgical intervention, such ladies regain confidence in themselves and their own charm.
- Often you can hear reviews about a hair transplant from those who had a severe burn. Eyebrows, eyelashes and even parts of the face can be permanently damaged. In this case, women turn not only to plastic surgeons to eliminate skin flaws, but also to trichologists - to restore hair, as well as eyebrows and eyelashes.
- Many girls complain that they have male pattern baldness after pregnancy. Bald patches formed. In this case, young mothers also agree to undergo a hair transplant operation and again look blooming and beautiful.
- Many women care about this question: to prefer a hair transplant in Moscow or abroad. Also, many fear pain during surgery. However, in such cases, the girls who used the hair transplant declare in a loud voice: in Russia you can find a good specialist who will transplant hair qualitatively and painlessly. During the operation, in addition to burning, no unpleasant sensations are observed. Mild itching is present during a hair transplant, but it quickly passes. Hair begins to grow actively at the end of the second month. Most women are grateful to Russian specialists for their work and efforts.
In general, hair transplantation on the head in men and women provides a long lasting stable result. But there are a number of cases in which it is possible that after a while the loss of follicles will repeat again.
These situations include the following:
- hormonal disorders;
- injuries
- burns during chemotherapy, radiation;
- age-related changes in the body.
