Hair transplantation is a surgical technique that involves moving individual hair follicles from one part of the body (the donor site) to bald or balding parts (the recipient site).
Whatever the causes, hair loss is a painful experience.

The process of hair transplantation is done under local anesthesia in an outpatient visit.

There are two hair transplant techniques: by strip or FUE.

Hair transplant by strip:
The surgeon cuts a strip of hair in the donor area located at the crown. After the removal of implants hair done, the surgeon makes a suture with an absorbable suture. The thin scar hidden by hair is invisible.

The surgeon's assistants cut the strip under a microscope in many fragments smaller than or equal to the millimeter. They get follicular units with 1 to 3 hairs.

The surgeon marks the areas to be treated. This drawing serves as a benchmark throughout the hair transplant procedure.

Using micro-surgical instruments, the practitioner makes small incisions. This technique allows the implants to bring as much as possible from each other. Hair transplantation is done in the direction of the original location.
In Brazilian Esthetic Clinics our patient never present any facial swelling after the surgery which is commom in such procedure and that due to our special care.

Hair transplant by FUE technique:
FUE(follicular unit extraction ) this micro removal uses tiny punches of between 0.6mm and 1.25mm in diameter. Each follicle is then reinserted back in to the scalp in the thinning area using a micro blade. Because individual follicles are removed, only small, punctuate scars remain and any post-surgical pain is minimized. As no suture removal is required, recovery from FUE is within 7 days.

 - Without swelling or pain
 - For both women and men

The vulnerable recipient area must be shielded from the sun, and shampooing is started two days after the surgery. Shampooing is important to prevent scabs from occurring around the hair shaft. Scabs adhere to the hair shaft and increase the risk of losing newly transplanted hair follicles during the first 7 to 10 days post-op.

During the first ten days, virtually all of the transplanted hairs, inevitably traumatized by their relocation, will fall out ("shock loss"). After two to three months new hair will begin to grow from the moved follicles. The patient's hair will grow normally, and continue to thicken through the next six to nine months. Any subsequent hair loss is likely to be only from untreated areas.

The result of the hair transplant is permanent on the treated area.
