Is the Hair Transplant Painful??

No Absolutely not -Nuleaf Hair Transplants, Pune!!

A common misconception about the hair transplant is that it is extremely painful. This arises from the fact that when FUT or strip method was done (before its perfection) a lot a people suffered from pain due to stitches. Some surgeons in the past put surgical skin staplers instead of stitches (to reduce the time of the surgery), this caused horrible discomfort to the patients. 

However, these are the problems of the past. There is no pain that is intolerable/uncomfortable in hair transplantation any more. The following are some of the techniques developed for the reduction of pain during the anesthesia (remember only anesthesia would be painful, once it sets in, there will be absolutely no pain. The methods utilized below are to reduce even the pain of anesthesia to zero level!)

1. Icing or application of ice:

Ice application over a specific part of the skin will numb it. Its not something new, however few people used it before. When we give anaesthesia, we apply ice for a few seconds, the area becomes numb, then we inject the anaesthesia and the person undergoing the transplant feel nothing. This is because of numbing of the skin!

2. Vibrating device:

If vibrations are applied over the skin, with the help of special device, the skin diverts the pain sensations going to the brain, confuses it to think there is no pain. It is basically a method of diverting the pain sensations. But it works fantastically.

3. Simple tapping of the area of injection:

Simple tapping with fingers on the area to be injected with anaesthesia will also divert the pain stimulus but not to an extent a vibrating device does it. 

What we do at Nuleaf Hair Transplants :

We combine the vibrations and ice to produce the most effective method of pain reduction. Hardly anyone feels pain with our technique. We have a specially designed device which chills down up to -4 degree centigrade  and also vibrates to produce effective anaesthesia.

Most Bizarre Myths About Hair Transplant

Collection of bizarre myths on internet about hair transplant that our patients told us!

1. [Bizarre Myth 1]Hair Transplant can cause cancer

Myth Busted: In Hair transplant, your own hair are planted, no other material. There is absolutely no risk of cancer, you can be sure of it!

2. [Bizarre Myth 2]Hair Transplant can cause brain damage

Myth Busted: Hair Transplant is a very superficial surgery. We don't go below the skin level. Some patients may fear this myth because of the proximity to the brain. But for us, brain or any vital structures are miles away from our operating field.

3. [Bizarre Myth 3]You can not cut planted hairs ever

Myth Busted: You can cut you hairs after they are planted. We take the hairs from the back of the scalp. They will grow over the front as they were growing in the back of the scalp. You can cut them, shave them, dye them: they will continue to grow.

4. [Bizarre Myth 4]In Robotic Hair Transplant, actual robots do the surgery                                 Myth Busted: We heard this from a patient of our. However there are no robots which perform the entire surgery on their own till date. The robotic hair transplant which some surgeons are promoting is called ARTAS, which only covers the scoring or punching part in FUE procedure. Robots still have a long way to go in hair restoration surgeries. So beware of the false advertisements!

Hair Transplant Quick Facts

Why Hair Transplant is Permanent?

Permanent Hair Zone of the Scalp

Permanent Zone of Scalp:

In Hair Transplant, whether it is by strip or FUT method or by FUE method, the donor hairs are taken from the above mentioned permanent zone of the scalp. In a simpler terms back of the scalp and side of the scalp and not from the front and top portion of the scalp. This is done for a simple reason: Hair from the permanent zone areas are not affected by the process of baldness and hence if they are planted over the bald areas, good hair will grow. Nothing is wrong with the scalp/skin in the bald areas. Its the hair in these areas which are genetically destined to get lost as your age progresses. 

This is the reason Hair Transplant is a permanent method of Hair Coverage

And yes: The planted hairs grown naturally: You can cut them, dye them, shave them off-they will grow back again just like your original hairs. You can visit www.nuleafclinic.com for before and after pictures of the hair transplant patients

Will you get good results after your Hair transplant?? : Nuleaf Hair Transplant Pune

What is the guarantee that you will get good results after your hair transplant? Will any hair transplant surgeon give us a picture what result we will get as a final outcome of our transplant? Why do some people get fantastic results from hair transplantHair Growth Results after Nuleaf Hair Transplant and some get only average results?
Whether you will get good results or not depends on many factors: we will consider each factor one by one objectively.
1. Age: When you are young, healing occurs rapidly , graft uptake is normal and survival of the planted follicle is maximum. The older you get, healing is delayed, graft survival is also low. Above age of 60 you can also develop diabetes and /or atherosclerosis, severely  diminishes graft survival. If you are a diabetic patient above 60 you probably are not a right candidate for hair transplant. On the other hand if you are 25-35 years old who does regular cardio exercise , then chances of success are maximum.

2. Hair in donor area: Donor area is the back of the scalp. If you have thick hair (technically more than 70 microns) then you will require not only lesser number of grafts buy also will get a fuller denser look after the transplant. Thin hair even in younger people are not very attractive for transplant. Sometimes a few young patients have thick beard hair than the hairs from back of the scalp. In these cases, in order to give a good fuller look we utilize the beard hair for hair transplantation.

3. Big donor are or high grade of baldness: A big recipient area will also require many grafts to cover which, unfortunately, is sometimes not possible. In grade VI baldness in order to cover the entire scalp, we have to reduce the density. A low density transplant will give you hair, but not very adequate hair. In these cases we concentrate on the frontal area and give the frontal area the maximum density so that at least a good hair line is formed.

Multiple FUT/FUE  scars makes future graft yield very low

4. Scarring from previous FUE or Strip hair transplant:
If scars of the previous surgeries are present, then extraction of the follicular units become difficult. Transaction rate also increases. Hence resultant graft yield is low. In such a cases we usually rely entirely on body hairs, mainly beard area, for obtaining follicular units.

5. Unreal expectations:
Patient wearing wigs/ hair pieces would expect the same level of density the wig/hair piece provides. However the appearance after a hair transplant may be significantly different than that wearing a wig/hair piece. So always confirm with the doctor the appearance that you will be getting after a hair transplant. Not discussing this with the patients results into dissatisfied patients even when growth of the hairs is near 100%.

Crown area : Difficult to treat

6. Crown area: Crown are or the vertex of the scalp is also termed as "Black hole" of hair transplant as the whatever number of grafts you put there is always some areas showing sparse hair growth. Crown is a circular area over the scalp. Here the androgenetic alopecia spreads in a circumferential pattern away from the centre of the scalp. If you put many grafts in the central portion of the crown at a very early stage then after 1-2 years, the peripheral area has lost hair again. Also hair grow in a whorled pattern in the crown area. Even in absence of the androgenetic alopecia, majority of peoples crowns area sparser in the centre. For these reasons, crown is the last priority area in an avarage case of hair transplantation. In a few rare cases where only crown is affected and nothing else, then we may cover the crown area with hair transplant.
