Steps In Hair Transplant Procedure
Are you struggling with hair loss or thinning hair? In this blog, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about the hair transplant process.
A Hair Transplant Procedure mainly involves three key steps:
Follicle extraction using the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique, slit making in the recipient area, and careful implantation of the extracted follicles.
This procedure is minimally invasive and can provide natural-looking results for those experiencing hair loss.
Key Takeaways :
- FUE focuses on individual follicle extraction and transplantation.
- The procedure typically involves three main steps.
- Results start showing in 3-4 months, with full results visible after 12-18 months
- Minimal scarring and quicker recovery compared to older techniques.
The Three Essential Steps of Hair Transplant
1. Extraction of Follicular Units
The first crucial step→
- Punch incision made around individual hair follicles in the donor area
- Typically uses micro punches 0.8(1 mm diameter) for minimal scarring
- Follicular units are carefully extracted one by one
- This meticulous process ensures natural-looking outcomes and preserves donor area aesthetics
2. Slit Making in Recipient Area
Preparing for your new hair →
- Tiny incisions made in the balding areas
- Careful planning of angle, direction, and density of future hair growth
- Precision work critical for achieving a natural appearance
- The size and depth of slits are customized to match the extracted follicular units
3. Implantation of the Grafts
The final step in hair restoration →
- Extracted follicular units are carefully placed into the prepared slits
- Meticulous process often taking several hours
- Surgeon ensures proper angle and depth for each graft
- This step determines the final look and density of the transplanted hair

A. Initial Consultation and Planning

B. Anesthesia and Patient Preparation
