Hair Transplant
Do you suffer from baldness or alopecia and want to regain dense and natural hair? Hair transplant is a lasting solution that permanently treats hair loss. In Tunisia, specialized aesthetic surgeons perform hair implants with FUE and FUT techniques at competitive prices.
Hair Transplant: What is it?
Hair transplant (or hair implant) is an aesthetic surgery technique that involves extracting follicular units (grafts) from a donor area (back and sides of the head), resistant to hormonal hair loss, to transplant them into bald or thinning areas of the scalp.
Transplanted hairs retain their genetic properties and continue to grow normally for life, offering a natural and permanent result.
Hair Transplant Techniques
1. FUE Technique (Follicular Unit Extraction)
The FUE technique is a highly popular hair transplant method. Extraction is individual, using a micro-punch of 0.8 to 1 mm. Scars are punctate, appearing as small, barely visible white dots. This technique leaves no linear scar. Recovery is also faster. It allows wearing very short hair. Its advantages are therefore numerous. However, it has disadvantages such as a longer duration. Its cost is also higher than FUT.
2. FUT Technique (Follicular Unit Transplantation)
The FUT technique is a specific hair transplant method. It involves removing a strip of skin from the donor area. The follicular units are then dissected under a microscope. This technique leaves a fine linear scar in the donor area. It remains hidden by long hair. FUT has the advantage of being faster. It also allows harvesting a large number of grafts in a single session. However, its disadvantages are a linear scar and longer recovery.
Procedure Process
The hair transplant procedure follows several successive steps. Anesthesia is local, combining numbing cream and injections. Extraction consists of removing follicular units, by FUE or FUT. In case of FUT, microscope dissection is necessary. Micro-incisions are then created according to the natural hair orientation. The grafts are then implanted into these recipient sites. The procedure lasts between 3 and 8 hours, depending on the number of grafts. Hospitalization is outpatient, with return home the same day.
Number of Grafts According to the Area to Treat
- Frontal hairline : 800 to 1,200 grafts.
- Vertex (crown) : 1,500 to 2,500 grafts.
- Complete baldness : 3,000 to 5,000 grafts.
Post-Operative Course
The post-operative period of a hair transplant follows a well-defined course. Edema, or swelling, is possible but disappears in 3 to 5 days. Crusts formed fall off naturally in 7 to 10 days. Post-operative shedding of transplanted hairs occurs between day 15 and day 45. This phenomenon is completely normal. The first shampoo is allowed 48 hours after the procedure. Return to work is possible in 3 to 5 days. However, return to sports is only advised after 3 to 4 weeks.
Results Timeline
Hair transplant results follow a precise timeline. At 3 months, the first hairs appear. At 6 months, growth becomes significant and results are visible. At 12 months, results are definitive with optimal density. Finally, at 18 months, complete hair maturation is achieved.
Hair Transplant Prices in Tunisia
Tunisia offers very competitive prices for hair transplant. The cost depends on the number of grafts and the technique used. A personalized quote is established during consultation based on the patient's needs.
Frequently Asked Questions about Hair Transplant
1What is the difference between FUE and FUT techniques?
The FUT technique consists of removing a strip of skin from the donor area and then extracting follicular units. The FUE technique consists of extracting follicular units one by one with a micro-punch. FUE leaves punctate micro-scars, while FUT leaves a linear scar.
2How long does a hair transplant session take?
The duration of the procedure varies according to the number of grafts to implant. For 1,000 grafts, allow 3 to 4 hours. For 2,000 grafts, 5 to 6 hours. For 4,000 grafts, 7 to 8 hours. The session is performed in one go.
3Do transplanted hairs fall out?
Transplanted hairs fall out in the first 3 weeks (post-operative shedding). They grow back permanently from the 3rd month. Regrowth is permanent because the grafts come from the donor area which is not sensitive to hormonal hair loss.
4When are the final results of a hair transplant visible?
The first hairs appear around 3 months. Results are visible at 6 months. Final results are obtained between 12 and 18 months after the procedure, once all hairs have reached maturity.
5Does hair transplant leave scars?
The FUE technique leaves punctate micro-scars (white dots) barely visible. The FUT technique leaves a fine linear scar in the donor area, well hidden by long hair. Scars fade over time.
6Can you have multiple hair transplants?
Yes, it is possible to have multiple sessions of hair transplant to increase density or treat new areas. Sessions are spaced at least 12 months apart to allow time for hair to grow and evaluate the result.
7Is hair transplant reserved for men?
No, hair transplant also concerns women. Indications in women include androgenetic alopecia, scalp scars, sparse areas following trauma or surgery.
