Hair Transplantation in Iran all you need to know
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure in which the follicles are removed from areas with resistant hair (donated area or hair bank) and transplanted to a low-density area (recipient).
The back and sides of the head are resistant to hair loss, so these areas are used as a hair bank.
Suitable candidate for hair transplant
Hair loss in many men begins in the twenties, it is recommended not to do hair transplantation until the age of 30. Because the process of hair loss has not stopped yet. People whose hair loss has progressed significantly over a five-year period, and whose hair density has stabilized, can have hair transplant surgery.
1. The person has sufficient and healthy follicles in the donation area, so-called sufficient hair bank.
2. Hair loss is not due to medication, stress or medical treatments and other methods for treatments have not helped to eliminate hair loss. And hair loss has stopped.
3. They are in perfect physical health and have realistic expectations of the outcome of the surgery.
Hair Transplantation methods
The general nature of the methods is similar in that it involves removing healthy follicles from the donation area and transplanting them into the recipient area, but the main difference is in the method and technique of graft removal.
FUT hair Transplantation method
The most common, effective and oldest method of hair transplantation is the FUT method, in which a ribbon-shaped incision is made in the back of the head to remove the follicles from these areas.
This area is then sutured. In the next step, the follicles are removed under a microscope with great precision to be implanted in the low-density parts of the head. This area is then sutured
Next, the follicles are picked up under a microscope with great precision. To be planted in low-density parts of the head.
Finally, the head is bandaged to protect both the donor and recipient areas during the recovery period. The duration of the operation is 4 to 6 hours and it is possible to implant 4000 hair follicles in one session.
A strip cut on the back of the head can lead to scarring, which is covered by the remaining hair, and there are several treatments available to remove this line.
In the next step, the recipient area, each unit of the follicle will be implanted through the small holes created.
Advantages of FUT hair transplantation method
• High graft extraction speed,
• Lower cost compared to other methods,
• Shorter exposure time of grafts and reduction of the possibility of damage to them,
• No need to shave your head (unlike other methods)
• Reduction of surgical error due to the method of graft extraction process,
• Selection of follicles from the most resistant location and from the strongest grafts.
Disadvantages of the FUT hair transplantation method
• Strip scar remains at the site of Follicle extraction,
• The operation is aggressive and the recovery period is long, and requires more careful postoperative care
• Prohibition of strenuous sports and physical activities for at least two months after planting,
Impossibility of FUT implantation for people with stiff scalp.
Impossibility of removal from grafts on the lower neck, body hair or facial hair.
Unsuitable for athletes and those with a history of flesh sores and colloidal scars.
Hair transplantation by FUE (FIT) method
FIT or FUE hair transplantation means removing the follicles as a single unit. First, each follicle unit is removed from the donated area using a special tool called a punch, then it is kept in solution until it is ready for transplantation.
In the next step, each unit of the follicle will be implanted in the recipient area through the small holes created. The number of follicles removed depends on the density of hair in the donated area, which will vary from person to person. The procedure takes an average of five to seven hours.
Advantages of FIT hair transplantation method
• Short recovery period of two to three days and no pain for applicants (no bleeding, scars and scars and no need for stitches)
Suitable for people with a history of flesh sores. Or their head scalp is not very flexible.
• The possibility of removing thinner grafts for implantation in the growth line, and the possibility of removing body hair
• Ability to do light sports activities a few days after surgery.
Disadvantages of the FIT method
• Low graft extraction rate,
• The need for high accuracy and skill to prevent graft damage,
• Fewer grafts taken in one session,
• Prolonged time for grafts to leave the body and increase the risk of injury,
• Impossibility of removing grafts from close quarters (need for a larger hair bank),
• Need more sessions to achieve high densities.
SUT Hair Transplantation Method
SUT hair transplantation is similar to FIT method, except that the follicles are removed using new, automatic tools. Which speeds up and reduces graft damage. It is also possible to plant and achieve high density in one session.
However, hair transplantation with this method is highly dependent on the surgeon’s skill, and if he is not skilled enough, the percentage of injuries will be higher.
Hair Transplantation by Micrograft method
This method is similar to the FIT and SUT methods, with the difference and the advantage that the follicles are removed using special and electric holders, so the amount of human error is reduced. This method uses fully automatic micromotors that cause higher density of implanted hair and the possibility of removing more grafts in one session than SUT and FUE methods. However, more sessions may be needed to achieve the desired density.
Combination Method Hair Transplantation
This method, as its name suggests, uses a combination of FIT and FUT methods. People who have a good hair bank but have low hair density in other areas of the head, can benefit from the combination method, to achieve the desired density with the FUT method and with one of the FIT, SUT or micrograft methods, the hair growth line Make it more natural.
In case more than 4000 hair grafts are needed, this method is used, which is cost-effective and is done in a shorter time.
Some post-hair transplant care include:
It is perfectly normal for the surgical site to be swollen or red for a few days, and the use of ice packs can help reduce inflammation. Note that the compress should not be placed directly on the scalp and the compress should be placed on the forehead for twenty minutes.
Rest after surgery is very important, it is recommended to stay at home for a week and avoid strenuous physical activity. When sleeping, be sure to put two pillows under your head to avoid pressure on the stitches and grafts and keep your head as high as you can.
After a hair transplant, have a nutritious diet containing vitamins and minerals to help speed up the healing process.
Avoid taking blood-thinning medications that increase bleeding, and instead take the antibiotics prescribed to prevent infection in a timely manner.
Hair washing, scratching or manipulation of the follicles should be avoided for two to three days after surgery.
Exposure to direct sunlight should be avoided as much as possible.

The grafts may grow sporadically in the second or third weeks after implantation; But usually these hairs fall out after a month. Do not worry at all! This is a very good sign and proves that the implanted hair is in good condition.
When hair loss occurs, the hair is actually detached from the stem and the subcutaneous follicle remains alive and active. After the initial hair loss, which usually lasts up to 3 months, hair regrowth will begin. At this stage, the hair is completely permanent and the main results will appear up to 9 months after the surgery and the hair will be smooth.

Almost all hair transplant methods can be used for women; But because women’s hair is thinner, the hair transplant process is a bit more complicated for them. First of all, it is necessary for the doctor to examine the client and, by examining the pattern of hair loss and the quality of the hair bank, determine whether the person is a suitable option for implantation or not.
Hair washing should be avoided for up to three days after surgery, as the grafts are very sensitive and likely to separate. After three days, you can use special shampoos and wash your hair with lukewarm water so that the water pressure is not too high and the nails do not come in contact with the grafts. You should not use a hair dryer after bathing at all, because the heat will damage the grafts and the surgical results will be lost. It is recommended to use a toilet paper that is thick and has a high absorption power to dry the hair.
Since people need to get enough rest after a hair transplant, it is important to pay attention to sleep and rest. There are a few things to keep in mind when sleeping. Including:
- Sleeping on the surgical site should be avoided separately, it is better to lie in an open position.
- When sleeping, place two pillows under your head. The head should be kept as high as possible, this will also reduce the amount of swelling and inflammation.
- Bed linen and pillows should be clean to minimize the possibility of infection.
It takes about a week to ten days for the grafts to become fixed in the donation area. During this period, no pressure or damage should be applied to the follicles. Therefore, it is recommended not to use a hat as much as possible.

Does the transplanted hair turn white?
The transplanted hair is just transplanted onto our body and has the same genetic makeup as our other hair. For this reason, if the hair in the donor area starts to turn white, the hair in the transplanted area will also turn white. But the good news is that since body hair turns white later than head hair, transplanted hair turns white later than head hair.
Can we dye our hair after hair transplantation?
Yes, it is possible to dye transplanted hair, but only a few points should be observed in this regard. In the first six months after hair transplantation, the scalp is more vulnerable, so it is better not to dye the transplanted hair for at least six months to one year.
Be very careful in choosing the color. The colors that are high in ammonia are harmful to the hair, and it is better to use high-quality and natural colors to color the transplanted hair.
Dechlorinators or hair bleaches and peroxides contain chemicals that can affect the scalp and hair follicles, so it is better to minimize the use of these substances.
Hello I’m Samuel from us
What is the best age for hair transplant?
Hey dear Samuel
best age for hair Transplant is between 35 to 50 years old.
In this age range, the hairs that should fall either by inheritance or under environmental conditions fall out, and hair loss stops almost at this age.
After 50 years, it is possible to transplant hair, but the body’s ability to repair itself decreases a little after this age.
