Hair transplantation is a surgery in which hair are taken from the back of head and transplanted into hair loss area. The side hairs on bald scalp are called patron governing hair that will grow for the whole life. The transplantation process doesn’t affect the speed to grow; patron governing is the only way through it can be possible. The credit goes to Dr. Okuda of Japan who explained the usage of hair transplantation surgery to revamp blemishing eyelashes and eyebrows but this precious discovery couldn’t reach to the whole world for almost two decades. In 1959, Dr. Norman Orentreich made a report on hair transplantation surgery and the field was born again.

Generally, those people prefer hair transplantation surgery that has patron governing hair to move on balding scalp. In the earlier period, hair transplantation surgery was not appropriate for many bald patients but now many advanced techniques and art of transplantation has made it possible.

The era of micro, tiny and single hair grafting has introduced. Through hair grafting with advanced instrumentation, producing natural hair appearance can be accomplished easily. Single- hair-grafting capture the supreme and softest look of any individual. Though, this grafting cannot bring back the hair density with soft hairline that is possible on with thick hair. Reconstruction of a new hairline requires surgical plus artistic techniques; getting it done in a right way for the first time is significantly important that involves substantial precaution and planning. Various single hairs can be observed in the front hairline of any non balding individual; during hair transplantation surgery, small hair are grafted at the same hairline just to give hair density that can grow gradually with the passage of time. Through mini-grafting, some more hairs are transplanted behind the hairline that unsurprisingly blends with micro-grafts to provide higher density.

In the field of hair transplantation surgery, different ISHRS surgeons use diverse techniques and terms. This is only because ISHRS surgeons are the innovators who are on the critical frame of hair transplantation. New techniques unsurprisingly give augment to new provisos. Though, there are distinctions available in the techniques of every surgeon; all of them use blend of these grafting to bring more natural and satisfying results.

Hair transplantation surgery has fairly trivial side effects too including meek pain and uneasiness after the surgery, swelling down the eyes, and the configuration of scabs over the grafting hairs that may take around a week to resolve. Severe worries after surgery like contamination, disfigurement and bleeding are quite exceptional. Advanced hair transplantation surgery provides quite comfortable and pleasing results to their patients.

Hair loss is a natural process in aged people. Usually, it starts after the age of 40 or 45 and baldness appears on most heads. However, aging process starts at the center of the head and fringe are used to cover this baldness. Modern hair transplantation surgery allows mini-grafting and micro-grafting with advanced techniques and arts with less number of time to complete the process.
