Though some people like shaved scalp and also this suits their personalities. The majority of people think that they only look beautiful if they have head hair. For bald persons, transplant methods are now available. There are several methods. These include follicular unit extraction (FUE), follicular unit transplant (FUT), robotic, laser or hybrid transplant and many more. Each technique is a little bit different from the other but the consequences are the same as the purpose is common for all techniques. However, there are some side effects that are also different from the other.

The people looking for a transplant often ask, what is the Best Method for hair transplant in Pakistan? This question was answered by experts that Follicular Unit Extraction is the best method for hair transplant. This technique is also regarded as the gold standard technique. FUE is an advanced surgical method that is least invasive as compared to traditional transplants. In this procedure, follicles are extracted one by one usually from the backside of the scalp called the donor site. The extracted follicles are then separated individually. The physician uses microneedles and syringes to make micro holes. These are then implanted to the bald area of the head in which incisions are made also called the recipient site. The physician usually carried out this whole surgery under local anaesthesia. The surgeon after undergoing these steps cleans and bandages the treated area. However, the person being treated should take some care before and after surgery as per recommendations. The physician may ask to avoid smoking 1 week before treatment. Similarly, the patient should avoid alcohol consumption 3 days before starting the procedure. Blood thinners should be avoided as they may cause an excessive bleeding problem during surgery. However, prescribed shampoos may be used. After the treatment, the itching and discomfort case are reported but touching the grafted area is discouraged as it can cause other problems. Strenuous exercise is not recommended while doing light exercise is preferred. Hats or caps should not be worn after the transplant.  All these things should be avoided to prevent any complications of surgery. Maybe in some cases, there is the appearance of side effects. The infection may occur, pain or swelling can occur; even follicles can swell called folliculitis. This folliculitis may be due to some bacteria of the group Staphylococcus. Occasionally, bleeding can occur. Numbness or tightness of the scalp may be noticed due to anaesthesia. In some persons, thinning may also continue even after the transplant. The person usually returns to normal work within 24-48 hours. 

One of the reasons regarding the FUE as the best method for hair transplant is that there is no linear scar left after surgery. This is because the follicles are obtained from the donor site instead of the strip as in FUT which surely leaves the linear scar. Further, the stitches are not required as no large incisions are made; instead, micro holes are made which heals themselves. This grafted hair after some time usually shed and allows the new hair to grow from the roots. One disadvantage of this procedure is that it is more time consuming than other treatments. This may be done in a single long session or multiple small sessions. The main time-consuming process in this is the separation of follicles. Further, the surgery performed by the skilled surgeon is a plus point for the patient because of his advanced knowledge and experience about inserting angles and other essentials for surgery.

FUE is the best method for hair transplant, it has cost accordingly. The cost of the best method for hair transplant varies from location to location. It also depends on the number of grafts to be moved from donor to recipient site and also the person's degree of hair loss. Similarly, a skilled physician may demand more cost. The average cost for this ranges from ,000 to ,000 per session. However multiple session procedure costs may reach up to ,000.Also if the graft count is 4,000 or 5,000 the cost will be more than the graft count of 2,000. Unfortunately, insurance companies don't cover these procedures and you have to pay the whole amount by yourself.
