What Is Natural Hair Transplant? What You Need to Know about It!

Current hair transplant technology is divided into two types, natural and artificial hair transplant. However, in terms of effectively and thoroughly meeting the requirement of having permanent hair, the natural hair transplant method is the most effective for most people with baldness and hair loss. First off, we need to understand what hair transplant technology is and the benefits of this method.

1. What Is a Hair Transplant?

Hair transplant is a medical procedure performed to move healthy hair follicles from the donor area and transplant it into an area of bald, sparse hair. Beside giving thick and strong hair, this method is also used to restore eyelashes, eyebrows, and beards.

Natural hair transplant is the best solution to improve hair loss, thinning hair, congenital baldness or long-term physiological baldness by taking alternate hair follicles or patches of hair at the back of the head selectively, then separating healthy hair follicles and transplanting into areas of hair thinning or lack of hair. In other words, this is a natural hair transplant method, completely used with the patient’s own hair to fill up the bald area.

Natural hair transplant technology is suitable for both men and women, or those who need to overcome hair loss, thinning hair and especially baldness. Due to the use of one’s own hair for hair transplantation, regardless of male or female hair transplant, the effectiveness of this method always ensures a successful transplant rate of up to 100%, and the rate of good hair growth after transplanting up to 95%.

In hair transplant methods, the technique of natural hair transplant is highly appreciated by doctors and experts because of its effective and safe application while still ensuring aesthetics. This is also the method used by NEWHAIR Transplant Clinic to completely overcome thinning hair and baldness. The old name of this method is Hair Balance of Kho Thi Hair Transplant Clinic.

2. Features of Autologous Hair Transplant Methods

Currently, there are 3 popular natural hair transplant methods, including FUE, HAT and FUT. Each of which owns its distinctive features of application.

2.1. FUE Natural Hair Transplant

FUE (follicle unit extraction) is a non-invasive method that takes alternate hair follicles on the scalp. After selecting and separating healthy natural hair follicles, the doctor will proceed to transplant into areas of thinning or lacking hair. FUE technique does not require stitches or stripping of the scalp from the donor area. Moreover, it is a bleeding-free micron wound transplant technology, thus avoiding scarring and giving quick recovery after transplantation.

Advantages of FUE natural hair transplant method:

• FUE natural hair transplant method is a non-invasive technique. Therefore, it is painless, does not leave scars and causes no complications.

• Hair grows permanently after transplant. Hair after the transplant will grow in its life cycle like other normal hairs. Not only that, the hair also grows healthy, thick and beautiful and ensures high aesthetics.

2.2. HAT Autologous Hair Transplant

HAT is also an innovative FUE technology. These two techniques, HAT and FUE, mainly differ in the devices used. For example, the tip of the hair removal needle and the implant tip of the HAT technique are smaller. HAT technology is more precise, therefore hair after transplanting will be more natural. Besides, the hair density will be thicker.

The differences between HAT and FUE technology:

• Single cyst (1 hair)
• Diameter of implant pen: 0.6 – 0.8mm
• Time taken: 4-8 hours

2.3. FUT Autologous Hair Transplant

FUT, Follicle Unit Transplantation, is a technique in which hair is removed from the back of the ear or the back of the neck, where the hair grows strongest. The doctor will separate each hair root, select the healthiest hair follicles to transplant into the bald area. The hair donor scalp will be sewn closed with special techniques.

Some features of FUT technology:

• Quick implementation time, only about 4 hours
• Relatively low cost
• Leaving scars and making the hair donor skin area become dead skin
• Leaving a lingering feeling of pain.

This method has the advantages of fast implementation time and low cost. However, stretching the scalp will cause pain and scarring. Moreover, the hair donor area then becomes dead skin. In about 5-6 years, when you touch the donor scalp, it still hurts.

3.2. Who should not use autologous transplant?

There are many people who suffer from baldness, hair loss and want to fix it to improve the aesthetics of their hair. However, not everyone can carry out a hair transplant successfully and bring good results. Specifically:

• Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not have hair transplants because it may affect the fetus.
• People who are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy should not have hair transplants.
• Hair transplant should not be done for people at a young age (under 23 years old)
• It is not for people with severe diabetes or diseases with a high risk of infection.
• Because the hair transplant method uses 100% of the customer’s hair. Therefore, if you do not have enough donated hair, you will not be able to perform this technique.
• It does not work on keloid scars on the scalp due to trauma or birth. Because the scar area is dead skin, even after a successful hair transplant, the hair germ cells cannot transport nutrients to grow hair.
• Individuals with infectious diseases (Specifically HIV, end-stage hepatitis, gonorrhea, syphilis, or genital warts).

4. Is Hair Transplant Permanent? What Is the Process of Recovering the Transplanted Hair Area?

Autologous hair transplant can be considered a long-term solution to balding and thinning hair. However, doctors cannot guarantee that the transplanted area will be permanent because this hair will work and grow like other natural hair areas. They can grow, lengthen, shed, then regrow according to the normal cycle of a hair. The recovery time of hair after transplant depends on each person’s body and the skill of the doctor. The average hair recovery cycle after transplantation is as follows:

• After 1 to 2 days, the transplanted hair area may still be swollen or drained. Customers need to change the bandages and clean it according to the instructions of the hair transplant clinic.
• After 1 week, the transplanted area is recovering. Customers take care of themselves at home and pay attention to avoid forces on the transplanted hair area such as combing or pulling hair. The hair follicles still need time to absorb nutrients and firmly stick to the scalp.
• After 2 weeks, the implanted skin area is usually scaly, but you definitely should not peel of the scales on the scalp. You can start washing your hair in combination with the hair oil prescribed by your doctor.
• After 1 month, the hair has attached to the scalp. You still need to avoid the sun and limit the dirt on your hair. Helmets should not be worn during this time and regular scheduled visits are recommended.
• After 3 months, the hair has grown evenly and the roots are more firmly attached to help them start to grow and lengthen like normal hair follicles. You still need to maintain hygiene and conduct thorough hair care.
• After 6 months, this is the time when you can enjoy the results after hair transplant with stable hair growth. Your hair will grow as normal. However, you still need to pay attention to the activities that affect this hair area such as washing your hair gently and avoiding pulling the hair.
• After 1 year, you can wash, curl, dye your hair as you like, but overuse of chemicals can weaken your hair.

Doctor’s answer: Whether autologous hair transplant leaves scars depends on the transplant method. If you choose FUE hair follicle transplant method, there will be no scars, no scalp invasion thanks to modern transplant technologies and advanced transplant methods.

6.5. Is it possible to transplant hair onto scarred skin?

Doctor’s answer: In terms of the mechanism of action and development of hair follicles, hair will only be able to survive in an environment with blood circulation and enough nutrition for the hair roots. Depending on the scarring status, the scar tissue may have little or even no circulation of blood vessels and sebaceous glands. Hair transplant on the scar will not bring the desired effect because the transplanted hair follicles do not have enough nutrition to survive and grow like other natural hair areas.
