Extensive hair loss causes bald patches on the scalp. The hair follicles in these areas are no longer active and can’t produce new hair strands. The reasons can be many and change from one person to another. 

Similarly, there are various hair restoration procedures and treatments to promote hair growth and increase volume. However, not all hair rejuvenation methods are suitable for everyone. In some cases, hair transplant is the best solution. 

Hair transplantation is used to restore hair due to balding, thinning, or injury. Since your own hair is used in the process (to avoid complications), this procedure is not recommended if you have widespread baldness, thin hair, scalp injuries, or lost hair due to chemotherapy and other medication. To check your candidacy for the treatment, one should consult the expert. 

Healthy hair follicles are transplanted to the thinning and balding areas to promote hair growth naturally. In the next few weeks, new hair will grow in the treated area. It will also shed and thin over time. 

Reports by NCBI show that around 10% to 80% of transplanted hair will grow fully in three to four months. While hair transplantation can be less effective in people with dormant hair follicles, pl-as-ma therapy can boost hair growth by 75%. 

Hair transplantation can be done in mini and micro patches, depending on the requirements.

• Scalp Reduction
  Scalp reduction is also called alopecia reduction, where the bald surface is reduced by removing a portion of it from the scalp. The areas with hair around the bald surface are loosened and pulled to cover the space. Then, it is stitched in place. Scalp reduction is suitable if you have bald areas at the top or back of the head. This procedure is combined with grafting in some cases. 
• Flap Surgery
  Flap surgery is phased over multiple weeks and performed to cover the bald areas on the front. Superficial cuts are made to three sides of the donor area, and the fourth side is left to ensure blood supply. Then, this flap is lifted and stitched on the balding area. This procedure requires general anaesthesia and is painful. 
• Tissue Expansion
  Tissue expansion is a hair transplant method where implants are inserted into the scalp with healthy hair to expand the tissues. The implants are left for several weeks to do the job. Once the tissue has stretched to the required size, it is extended to cover the balding areas and stitched in place. This procedure is suitable if you lost hair due to burns.
