Long Hair Transplant

Introduction

Long hair transplant is the only hair transplant technique where not even a single hair is trimmed and a person can go to his office after 3 days without anyone knowing that she has had a hair transplant done.
This technique is one of the most difficult of all hair transplant techniques and very few doctors in the world are able to perform a long hair transplant

Who is a candidate for a long hair transplant

• Pilots, CEOs, Senior MNC executives, Hospitality industry managers, who don’t want a shaved look
• People who don’t want to shave
• People who don’t want to tell anyone they have had a transplant

How is it done

(Long Hair Transplant) LHT is a modification of the FUT technique where Not a single hair is cut either in the donor area or at the recipient site

• The hair-bearing strip is carefully extracted from the donor area and closed in the most delicate of manners in order to leave the finest of scars
• Individual grafts with long hair are then carefully separated from the strip and maintained in a special solution in order to maintain their viability
• Spacing in the Recipient area is then done carefully in order to avoid any damage to the existing hair
• The final step of implantation is done to in plants the long hair roots into the space between the existing long hair

Why is difficult to do/ why don’t clinics want to do

• The team needs to be a big one and a very well trained and dedicated team
• It is expensive to carry out the training of such teams in order to carry out this procedure
• It is very difficult to take out the strip with the long hair and even more difficult to implant without cutting of any hair at all
• These procedures are very long and require a very patient environment

Why are these procedures expensive

• High training cost of the team
• Difficult procedures that require much greater retention of the doctor
• The team cannot do more than one procedure on that day
• Extreme caution and care need to be taken
