Hair Transplant Video Learning For Patients

These days all hair transplant surgeons and clinics maintain websites from where patients can gather information about the procedure. It is very helpful for patients to watch hair restoration videos in order to decide whether they are ready for procedure or not.
Hair implant is a surgery that involves shifting hair from an area of good growth to an area of poor growth. This is done under the effect of local anesthesia and is rather easy for a patient while the surgeon needs to exercise a lot of skill and care. The websites of some clinics maintain websites where a potential patient can find past patients’ testimonials to understand the results of surgery. The  videos posted on these sites are a helpful resource which can help candidates see and observe what the surgery will be like. In case a candidate is reluctant or has any ambiguity concerning surgery, the  video is a good watch to clear out such misunderstandings. Hair loss surgery is done in two ways; the strip method and the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method.
The strip method involves removal of a strip of hair from an area of good density of hair, which is usually found at the back of the head and planting it on the bald area after dissecting it into smaller units. The FUE method involves extracting hair follicles from a good hairy area and then planting them one by one on the bald area. FUE method is more technical due to the manual work required and the results produced. Watching a video of any surgeon can help the candidate understand what really happens during the procedure. This will also help the surgeon explain his patients what kind of a surgery it really is. The video in itself is also a testimonial since it is a live proof that the surgeon is skilled and can perform a quality procedure. Not all surgeons can perform the FUE method properly due to the observation and care needed for it. Candidates prefer FUE method due to the natural results that are produced by the plantation of individual hair follicles which is not produced by planting units of hair strip.
The doctor has to observe the natural pattern of hair growth, gaps between each hair follicle and the direction of these hairs to ensure a 100 percent natural look. Usually, doctors take photographs of their patients before and after the procedure to be able to see what kind of a change has been brought about by the procedure. These pictures can show the patient directly what the difference of hair growth looks like. However, the procedure steps must also be clearly known to the patient in order to be able to keep a realistic approach about end results. Th video serves the same purpose and helps the patient make a final decision concerning the surgeon. The FUE hair transplant candidate must first of all look for a good surgeon, well-reputed for his skills and once the surgeon is chosen, he observes the candidate’s scalp to assess the reasons of baldness and then decides the number of grafts needed to cover the bald patch.
The patient is briefed about the results and is prepared with what to expect from the surgery. Once all factors have been discussed the patient is prepared for the surgery. The scalp is washed thoroughly before the surgery in order to remove any residue on the scalp. This ensures a smooth procedure and a better result due to the clean follicles extracted. Once the surgery is underway, the patient is given local anesthesia and the transplant is started. The video is taped with the consent of the patient and all the procedural steps are recorded so that the patient can understand and feel comfortable.
Hair transplant in Pakistan video is usually posted on websites of surgeons or clinics to help patients understand the surgical steps. This also clears the patient’s mind about all the ambiguities and discomforts concerning hair transplantation surgery.

He or she has to visit dermatologist to discuss about the problem of hair loss. Hair thinning has affect on every one personality in many ways. It is important to read about the causes when you are suffering from this problem. The main reason of hair fall is due to genetic reasons and it is known as androgenic alopecia or in common words male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness. In male pattern baldness, hair follicles are deteriorated and destroyed by DHT hormones present in body. When men reached at puberty level, they start getting this problem. Its counterpart is known as female pattern baldness, androgen is responsible for causing this problem. Gradually hair thinning start due to frequent hair shedding and a patient can get bald in a few years. Other important reason of hair thinning is stress and depression.

If the hair fall is due to some underlying disease, then dermatologist or physician will recommend a medicine to treat that problem. As a result, patient will get rid of hair loss problem. In some cases, use of some medicines and treatments are cause of hair thinning. Once the use of such medications is stopped, hair loss is diminished from the scalp and patients have new hair growth.  In medicinal treatment of hair thinning, two medicines are used that are approved by the FDA. Minoxidil is a foam or lotion that is used to rub on the affected area of the scalp that is suffering from hair thinning. After a few months, patients can notice that hairs are re growing in the bald areas. Another medicine that is known as Finasteride is used to block the DHT hormonal levels that are a cause of male pattern baldness. This medicine also helps in getting hair back on the scalp.

Types of hair transplant treatment available in Pakistan

There are the two basic types of hair transplant and restoration methods. Procedures of these surgeries vary significantly. In FUT, hair follicles are removed in form of a group while in FUE they are extracted individually. Each of these methods has their own pros and cons.

Hair transplant is the permanent and the most effective treatment to prevent hair loss and to restore hairs back on the scalp. This method is the only available surgical solution of hair restoration. It takes up to seventy years for hair transplantation to emerge as a successful and desirable method that we have today. With advancement of new technologies, medical expert are successful in getting two types of hair transplantation. These are the two basic and primary methods of transplant. Further research and studies are still in progress to find out new transplant treatments. One method of transplant is the traditional and old currently known as follicular unit transplant and abbreviated as FUT. The second method is known as follicular unit extraction or FUE that is latest emerged transplant method. In both of these methods, local anesthesia is injected into the scalp to minimize the pain and discomfort of the patient.

Follicular unit transplant is considered the traditional method that is also known as strip surgery. In this method, hair follicles are extracted from the donor part of the scalp. These hair follicles are harvested from the scalp with the help of a thin strip. The strip is removed and placed under a binocular microscope where hair follicles are dissected from each other and from the surrounding tissues. Recipient sites are created in recipient areas o the scalp. A hollow needle is used to make tiny holes on the scalp. Harvested hair follicles are then inserted into these sites from where they re grows into healthy hairs. A linear wound remains on the donor area of the patient’s scalp. This wound is stapled, stitched and closed with the help of stainless staples especially designed for cosmetic surgery. Within two or three weeks of surgery, the patients usually recover their wound and than a big scar are present on their scalp for the lifetime.

Follicular unit extraction is the latest developed method of hair transplantation. It was introduced in hair clinics in early 2000s. It gained much popularity as compared to the traditional method because less pain and blood is involved in this surgery. Hair follicles are extracted from the scalp, but one at a time. In this procedure, a punch like instrument is used to create tiny cuts around each hair follicle. These cuts are made by a surgeon and they are usually not more than one millimeter in size. The reason for creating incisions is that follicles get separated from their neighboring tissues. After that, surgeon pulls out the follicles with the help of forceps. Hair follicles obtained are place under a microsphere to clean them from fatty tissues. Recipient sites are made in recipient area by following the same procedure used in the traditional method. There is no linear or big scar on the scalp. Thousand of tiny wounds are there in the donor area after the surgery. It usually takes seven days to heal the wounds completely. The wounds than change into white scars that are not visible to eye.

In both FUE and FUT Types of Hair Transplantation, several post surgical precautions are being advised to patients. They can get good quality surgical results by following them accordingly. One can get cheap Hair transplant in Pakistan without compromising its quality and results.

You can find many hair restoration clinics and hospitals located in different cities of the country. Due to this heavy competition, patients can get a high quality treatment on a reasonable cost from all the cities of the country. When these hair restoration surgeries were not available in the country, patients who want to get permanent hair surgeries had to travel abroad.

Availability of the treatment in the country is blessing for hairless and bald people. Now they can save their money by getting treatment in their native country.

There are two methods of hair restoration surgeries that are available to the bald patients of the country. Each of these methods has a different cost.

In this surgery, hair follicles are extracted individually from the scalp. This takes much time and attention of the surgeon. It also needs accuracy of the surgeon performing this surgery. So this method is much costly in all over the country. It is estimated that patients need from eighty to one hundred and thirty five Pakistani Rupees to get a single FUE graft. The over all procedure can be gained within two hundred thousand to eight hundred thousand Pakistani Rupees. This method is available only in big and developed cities of the country such as Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad.

Cost of hair transplantation surgery in Pakistan

Hair transplant surgeries are the most effective and permanent solution to overcome the hair loss and hair fall. These surgeries are performed by experience surgeons who transplant hair follicles from the donor area to the recipient area of the scalp. As compared to other hair loss and baldness treatments, it is the less expensive treatment available these days. Two different methods are obtainable; follicular unit transplants and follicular unit extraction. Non surgical treatments only cost few dollars per month, but if their cost is compared with surgical cost in the long run, they are more expensive than transplant. In this busiest century, people usually spend money once on the transplant surgery to save their time.

Cost of hair transplant surgery in Pakistan is dependent upon the various factors. The most important is the experience and specialization of the surgeon from whom you are planning to obtain surgical treatment. A very few surgeons are available in the word that are expert in air transplant surgeries. This is the reason why these surgeries are expensive than other treatments. If a surgeon has years of experience in a notable hospital and he also obtained his medical degree from a recognized institutes, it is obvious that he will charge more fees. Expert surgeons usually guarantee accurate treatment with good results. An inexpert and unskilled surgeon charge fewer fees, but he cannot provide the same result as an expert surgeon can give in the end. Another factor contributing to the costs of surgery is the clinic that you have selected for transplant surgery. If the clinic is a part of a chain of some internat0nal recognized hair clinic, than it will be expensive. The clinics that are located in commercial and elite areas of the city usually charge more cost for providing transplant treatment. Patients who want to get a surgical treatment on a low costs should visit such clinics that give a good result, but are located in an inexpensive and remote area of the city.

The third most important factor is the method of treatment that a patient select or that is recommended by the doctor. Among the two methods of transplant, traditional strip surgical treatment or follicular unit transplant is the least expensive. In this method up to five thousand hair follicles can be extracted in one session and transplanted into the hairless portion of the scalp. The second method known as follicular unit extraction involves the extraction of hair follicles once at a time. This method needs attention of surgeon and only six hundred follicles can be removed in one session. This method does not give linear scarring after the surgery. This is the most expensive method of hair transplant available worldwide.

In United States, average cost of hair surgery using FUT method ranges from eight thousand dollars to fifteen thousand dollars. FUE surgery costs as twice as FUT. Average cost of FUE in the United sates ranges from fifteen thousand dollars to thirty thousand dollars. There are some clinics that charge according to the number of grafts needed by patients. Hair transplant cost in Pakistan 70% less as compared to developed countries.

It is advised to go for an experienced surgeon despite the Cost of Hair Transplantation Surgery because you need to go through this surgery once in your life. Any side-effects or poor results can result in transplant failure that can waste your all money.

Hair replacement transplant in Pakistan

There are many treatments that are used by patients suffering from partial hair loss and permanent baldness. They want to restore their hairs back on the scalp within a short time period. From centuries, baldness is considered a curse for a man or women. Many home remedies and various herbal treatments are used to prevent hair fall or baldness. Latest medical technology has also discovered some medicines that can give the hairs back. But usually these all treatments need a long time to show their results. Hair replacement is a new procedure invented by medical experts. It is also known as hair transplantation. This method gives the permanent and everlasting treatment of hair loss problems. In this surgical treatment, hair follicles are being used to provide hair loss solutions to the patients. Hair follicle is a unit that contains one to four hairs. These follicles are obtained from the healthy hair portion of the scalp and transplanted to the bald or hairless areas.

When it comes to the history, we can find that this surgical hair replacement treatment was invented in Japan. In late 1930s, a Japanese dermatologist discovered the treatment when he transplanted the eyebrow hair of one of his patients. Unfortunately due to hazards and affects of world war two, no significant work could be done on this revolution for more twenty years. In 1950s, an American dermatologist again studied the field of transplantation. He was the first surgeon in history who successfully transplanted and replaced scalp hairs of his patient. This patient was suffering from androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness. So initially the treatment was associated with the people who are suffering from genetic hair fall conditions. At that time implanted hairs looked very unnatural that people did not like this discovery. They preferred hair re growth medicines over these surgeries. Medical experts took more thirty years to invent small grafts. In 1970s, they were successful in getting micro grafts to perform follicular unit transplant. The treatment started getting worldwide recognition. With invention of follicular unit extraction, it becomes the priority of the bald and hairless patients to get a surgical replacement for their bald scalp.Fue hair transplant in Pakistan is successfully carried by hair restoration surgeons

In the actual procedure, local anesthesia is given to the patients before the surgery. This anesthesia can last for up to seven hours. After that surgeon start cutting hairs from the back of the scalp, if patient is going for traditional strip surgical treatment. A thin strip is used to remove a flesh of scalp from the donor area. After the extraction, wounds in donor area are stitched or stapled by the surgeon. On the other side, hair follicles are being extracted from the strip of flesh by placing it under a microscope. When these follicles are separated from each other and surrounding tissues, surgeon creates recipient sites in the hairless regions of the scalp. A needle like device is used to make small cuts on the recipient areas. Harvested follicles are later transplanted into these holes where they re grow into healthy hairs. If the patient is going for newer method of hair transplantation, surgeon obtains hair follicles from the scalp one at a time. A punch like instruments is used to separate each follicle from its nearby tissues. Once they get separated, they are pulled out by the surgeon. Creation of recipient sites follows the same procedure as in traditional method. No linear wound or scalp is there on the scalp. Tiny white scare remains on donor area for the lifetime of the patient. Patients are advised to follow many pre and post operative conditions that are advised by the surgeon if they want to get healthy hairs.

There are many side-effects that can occur after Hair Replacement. These include itchiness, redness, swelling, infection, pain and discomfort. Patients should take care of their scalp after the treatment. Price of the procedure is another major deciding factor; however hair transplant cost in Pakistan easily affordable.

Hair Transplant in Pakistan Cost



Hair transplant is considered the last and best treatment for hair loss. When people used every medical therapy and failed to restore their hair, the ultimate option for them is surgery.  Hair loss could be caused by various reasons and if it is permanent, the ideal solution is surgical and it is permanent solution. Male pattern baldness is the common kind of baldness that people face and it could be successfully treated. However if a person is suffering from Alopecia Total is or Alopecia Universals then the treatment is not possible because in these two kinds person losses all his hair and for hair transplantation, a donor area is required to donate hair follicles for the scalp. Male or female hair loss pattern is called Alopecia Aerate. In this situation a person is tend to lose hair in the form of patches anywhere on scalp and females are naturally safe from baldness, they go through the thinning of hair all over the scalp. Both are treated with guarantee.

Pakistan is not behind in any medical technology that is used in the progressed world. There are many foreign qualified doctors working in different parts of the country and they are running high end clinics where the best treatments are conducted and hair restoration surgeries are performed with highly competent staff. Getting hair transplant in Pakistan has one biggest advantage and that is the low cost of the surgery. When we compare the charges of treatment in Pakistan with rest of the world, they are minimal and there is no compromise done on the quality of the surgery. If you get your hair restoration from USA, UK or Europe, the surgery would cost you 6000- 8000 Euros. However, the cost here is many times lesser than that. If you chose FUE hair transplant, one hair graft costs you 125 Rs, which is very reasonable. There could be approximately 4500 hair grafts transplanted with this technique. In this technique one hair follicle is extracted from the donor area and re-planted. There is no incision given and it is the least invasive method that is used. There is no scar left after the surgery rather it has tendency to cover any previous scar on your scalp if you had gone through any surgical treatment. It can give you the most natural looking and dense hair without any detection.

FUT is another method that is used for planting hair. This is cheaper solution for getting rid of baldness. It leaves a linear scar after the procedure because for conducting this method an incision is given at the back of the head to remove a strip of hairs. These hair follicles are re-inserted after dissecting them. And the incision is closed by giving stitches. Both procedures are safe and they are done after injecting local anesthesia to the scalp. Due to this it is pain free and patient is awake and comfortable during the procedure. This method would cost 60 RS per graft. The drawback of this technique is that it is invasive and it gives numbness to the scalp. The cost of the procedure is a major deciding factor as everyone has to plan his budget. Hair transplant in Pakistancost is almost 70% less as compared to France and UK clinics.
