The only permanent treatment available (as of now) to grow new hair in the area of hair loss is Hair Transplantation (HT), Hair Transplant (HT) is a surgical procedure done under local anesthesia where hair roots are taken usually from the back side of the head (where there is permanently growing, genetically strong and hormone resistant hairs) and planted in the area of hair loss in the front. Because these roots are hormone resistant they grow permanently in the planted area. The transplanted hairs start growing after about 4 months. You can have them cut, colourd, styled, oil, massage, shampoo or even shave on regular bases. You do not lose these hairs. Unlike old Plug method or Mini or Micro method the modern Follicular method harvests individual Hair roots (also known as Follicular Units or Grafts). Well there are 2 modern methods of HT.

1. FUE (also known by DHI/ FIT/ CIT/ FUSE / woods, technique etc.): In this method Follicular Units are harvested from the same backside of the scalp or in some cases from beard or other parts of body also. They are harvested one by one and individually extracting with tiny micro punch of 0.75 to 1 mm. There are no stitches required and therefore there is no stitch mark left. The tiny punched areas heal in 4-5 days time with practically no discomfort, as there are no stitches.

2. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant (Also known as Strip method or FUSS_ Follicular Unit Strip Surgery). This is the method where a strip of hair bearing skin is taken from the backside of scalp and the roots are then separated individually from this and then planted in the area of hair loss area. After removal of strip the gap is stitched up by stretching the edges of gap by fine plastic surgery stitches.
