Hair loss treatments in Pakistan

Hair loss treatments in Pakistan

Hair loss has been an issue for many people but thanks to medical research, there are many treatments available worldwide. Hair loss is an increasing issue for the past few decades now. Hair has always been an essential part of fashion and appearance and that is why people who suffer from hair loss constantly look for ways to restore hair growth. 

There are many treatments for hair fall but the most effective and long lasting is the hair transplantation surgery. In Germany, the procedure is done by skilled surgeons using the latest techniques, however, due to high price of the surgery people travel to other countries. A hair transplant is always composed of two parts; extraction of the donor hair follicle or strip from the donor region and the implantation of these grafts in receptor region. It takes a skilled surgeon to perform the surgery. There are two basic ways of this surgery, the strip method and the follicular unit extraction (FUE) method. 

Nowadays, extraction and implantation of grafts are carried out using different techniques. In addition to this, there are also differences in the kinds of grafts used. Strip method is the cutting out of a hairy strip of skin from the back of the head with the use of a scalpel. With the help of a microscope, individual hair grafts are then made out of this strip and the resulting wound in the donor area is stapled. A permanent scar results from this strip wound. In Pakistan, the strip method of hair transplant is carried out widely and many patients opt for it over FUE method.

 However, the FUE method remains more popular. It is the most modern and delicate technique used in the hair transplant surgery. The follicles are extracted one by one and planted in the same manner. The extraction wounds are very small and heal on their own within a few days. The FUE procedure is absolutely woundless and produces very natural results. The FUE method is nowadays done in several ways, all of which are in practice in Germany. However, cost is such a factor that many people travel to cheaper places for an effective surgery. In Pakistan, medical facilities are much cheaper and the surgeons are also skilled and experienced. An increasing amount of medical tourism causes the surgeons to perform more procedures each day, hence enhancing their experience and making them more popular. 

Hair transplant is a simple surgery for the patient since it is performed by giving local anesthesia and so the patient is awake. The wounds from surgery are not major due to which there is no healing period except for a few days which is usual. However, it is a meticulous procedure for the surgeon and requires caution. Before the procedure it is advised that the candidate does some research and finds a good surgeon and clinic for this kind of a procedure. Hair transplant surgeries are a sensitive procedure since the whole outlook of a person depends on this and it is difficult to entrust your appearance to a total stranger.

 The past patients’ testimonies, experiences and results must be observed before engaging any surgeon. Once the surgeon is selected, consultation takes place. During this consultation all the aspects of the procedure are discussed. The surgeon takes his patient’s history of medication and in case of any medical conditions such as diabetes or blood pressure, it is necessary for the doctor to be aware. Apart from this the doctor talks to his patient about his expectations and prepares him about the result of the surgery. Once the cost and all other aspects are finalized, the surgery can begin.
