Hair transplant is a procedure where the hair are harvested from one area of the body and implanted to bald areas. These areas are known as a donor and a receptor area respectively. The hair transplant surgery was initially used as corrective surgery for male pattern baldness. With the advancement in hair transplant techniques, it’s being done now to correct or restore women hair loss, beard, mustache, eyelashes, eyebrows, chest hair, pubic hair and to fix accidentals or surgical scars.

• Hard water: As in deserted areas mineral content of water is pretty high and if such water is used for a longer time to wash your hair, you might experience male or female hair loss pattern, though no surety has been established. While consulting people for their hair loss problems, many patients who have relocated to Mumbai or even relocated to a different locality in Mumbai have experienced hair loss.
• Climate: Humidity is not good for hair, and we all know how humid the climate of Mumbai is. So with hard water, including humid climate condition can even worsen hair fall problems.
• Diet: “Mumbai Never Sleeps” very true and with sleepless nights for many, it’s very hard to maintain a balanced diet that includes all the vitamins and proteins required to maintain a healthy life. Unhealthy and Diet that lacks proper nutrients is another factor that can trigger long term health problems and hair fall.
• Pollution: Pollution in Mumbai is another reason for your hair loss problems, excess of exposure to pollution can make your hair frizzy and dry that can trigger hair loss.
• Styling: People in Mumbai are very concerned about their looks and hairstyle. With probably every new release in Bollywood, Mumbaikars for sure see a change in hairstyle trends and too much hairstyling can also trigger hair loss.​​

Procedure Followed at Harleys for Hair Transplant in Mumbai

• During the discussion with the doctor, you can discuss your preferences, expectations, and any other things you wish to be considered.
• The doctor will evaluate your scalp, skin tone, female or male pattern baldness or hair thinning zones, donor areas, and what type of appearance you wish to achieve.
• This discussion will help the surgeon understand your expectations better and determine what can be realistically accomplished. 
• After that, the surgeon will create an effective plan. The treatment plan will assist in achieving the best hair transplant results based on the goals of the hair loss treatment.

At Harleys Clinic, Dr. Sumit Agrawal offers advance hair restoration techniques that you can opt from:

• Strip/ FUT Hair Transplant
• DHT/ FUE Hair Transplant
• S.A.F.E/ FUE Hair Transplant
• ARTAS/ Robotic FUE Hair Transplant
   

This is the traditional hair harvesting technique used. In Follicular unit transplantation technique strips of skin having healthy hair follicles are been harvested from the donor area and then the hair follicular are removed from this strips and are prepared in a way so they can be transplanted to the receptor area in an angle that the outcome hairline could be as realistic as it could be.

The only advantage of using the Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) or Strip harvesting techniques is that you don’t have to shave your head and a large number of grafts can be harvested in a single session.

The disadvantage with Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) or Strip harvesting techniques is that it’s not for the one who loves short hairstyles as linear scars may be visible on the scalp from where the skin has been harvested for the transplant. Additionally, patient opting for FUT hair transplant technique might experience more discomfort and may require additional pain management medication as FUT is a more invasive hair transplant procedure.

Harvesting): In FUE harvesting individual hair follicles are harvested manually from the patient scalp under the influence of local anesthesia. The harvested follicles are then grafted by the surgeon to bald or thinning areas around the head in a way to achieve the most realistic results.

• Less post-operative pain as the FUE procedure is less invasive.
• Healing time for the FUE procedure is far less than FUT and FUE requires less incision.
• As individual follicles are extracted so no visible linear scar.
• Good for people who want to opt for short hairstyle after the procedure.
• Can restore normal activities soon after surgery.
• Hair from other parts of the body other than scalp can also be transplanted with FUE hair transplant technique.

• In FUE, the no. of grafts that can be harvested in a single session is limited. If more grafts are needed, it can be harvested by BHT from beard.
• FUE transplant techniques require more time than the FUT procedure as hair follicles are harvested one by one.
• FUE harvesting can sometimes leave multiple pinpoints (white) dots in donor's scalp.
• FUE harvesting technique is more expensive than FUT harvesting technique.

With the advancement in FUE hair transplant technique, robotic hair restoration devices utilize cameras and robotic arms to assist the surgeon with the procedure.
