The Art Of Hair Transplantation And Restoration has gained momentum and popularity, especially during the last couple of decades due to its ability to treat male pattern baldness also known as androgenic alopecia. This modern technique utilizes medical and cosmetic knowledge and skills to achieve a result that was deemed impossible before the advent of modern-day technology. The doctors who specialize in this treatment can make patients’ dreams come true by achieving results that correspond with the patient’s expectations which is why some consider it more of an art than a medical procedure as the precision required matches that of an artist.
When And Why Is Treatment Required:
Hair Transplant and restoration are required when the hair on the scalp starts to thin out and fall. This is generally due to genetic disposition and studies have pointed towards the androgen receptor gene present on the X chromosome which is why it is called male pattern baldness. However, thinning and hair loss can occur in women as well and can be a cause for serious concern for most people as it impacts the day-to-day routine of the person affected.
Ideal Candidate:
Hair Transplantation and restoration requires a suitable donor area and the health of this area can determine who would be an ideal candidate for this procedure. Even though this treatment is for male pattern baldness, anyone of any gender and age can opt to receive treatment if they are deemed to have a healthy donor area.

Pre-Procedure:
Before the procedure, a brief consultation with our experts at Enfield Royal Clinic in Dubai will reveal your suitability for treatment. Mainly this will involve an inspection of the donor area to see how many hair follicles can be transplanted. After this, you can set realistic expectations for your treatment and consider other options if you are not deemed suitable for transplantation. Some common instructions before getting the procedure include,
- Discuss your complete medical history with your care provider.
- Avoid blood thinning medication
- Avoid exposure to known irritants and UV rays.
- Trim your hair to make the procedure more accessible and more accurate.
Procedure/Treatment:
During treatment, the doctor will begin by numbing the areas after marking out the donor and treatment area respectively. This treatment requires an artistic touch since it involves a lot more than what meets the eye. After carefully marking each area, each hair follicle is surgically removed using a microscopic punch. This follicle is then prepared for grafting and the doctor makes a microscopic incision in the treatment area and places the follicle under the upper layer of the skin in between the incision. Each transplanted hair follicle has to be placed at a certain angle to match the surrounding hair as it grows. The procedure requires extreme precision on the doctor’s part and since these steps are repeated for each follicle, this treatment can take hours to finish or in some cases require multiple visits. To get more natural-looking results, it is imperative to seek professional help since the transplant can be costly. The transplanted hair takes around 6 months to show complete results and will follow its natural growth cycle after successful restoration.
Aftercare:
The procedure can prove to be exhausting for both patient and doctor and rest is generally recommended following treatment. Your doctor may prescribe ointment, creams, or gels to ease the itching or redness which will go away in a week or so after treatment. While recovering, follow the following instructions to achieve better and lasting results.
- Avoid exposure to direct sunlight
- Avoid alcohol and tobacco consumption in any way, shape, or form since it can cause blood thinning resulting in delayed recovery.
- Keep yourself well hydrated
- Consult your doctor immediately in case of any unusual reaction, allergy, or pain following the transplant.
