What is DHT Hair Transplant Treatment?

DHT hair transplant treatment refers to Direct Hair Transplantation. Direct Hair Transplantation is a modern hair restoration technique that involves the extraction and transplantation of hair follicles from the donor area (usually the back of the scalp) to the recipient area (where hair loss or thinning is evident) in a more direct and efficient manner.

In a DHT procedure, the surgeon extracts individual hair follicles one at a time, without the need for creating a strip of tissue from the donor area, as is done in traditional hair transplants. This minimally invasive approach reduces scarring and promotes faster healing.

Additionally, in the DHT procedure at CARA, slits will be made using Sapphire Blades, and a blunt Choi implanter pen will be used to drop the hair grafts within premade sapphire slits, enhancing the precision and safety of the process.

What are the Benefits of DHT + Sapphire FUE Treatment For Hair Loss? (Direct Hair Transplantation)

• Minimally Invasive: DHT is a minimally invasive procedure that doesn't involve the removal of a strip of scalp tissue, as is done in traditional Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) procedures. This results in less scarring and a quicker recovery.

• Natural-Looking Results: DHT allows for the precise transplantation of individual hair follicles, ensuring that the transplanted hair closely mimics the natural hair growth pattern and direction, leading to more natural-looking results.

• Reduced Discomfort: Patients often experience less discomfort and pain during and after a DHT procedure compared to some other hair transplant methods due to its less invasive nature.

• Faster Healing: Because of its minimally invasive approach, the healing process after DHT is typically faster, allowing patients to return to their normal activities sooner.

• Minimal Scarring: DHT leaves minimal scarring in the donor area. The tiny, dot-like scars are less noticeable, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer to wear their hair short.

• Higher Graft Survival: DHT, owing to its simultaneous extraction and implantation approach, significantly contributes to a high survival rate for transplanted hair follicles. This increases the likelihood of long-lasting and successful results, ensuring a more effective hair restoration process.

• Customized and Natural Hairline: DHT allows for the precise customization of the hairline according to the patient's facial structure and aesthetic goals, resulting in a natural and harmonious appearance.

• No Need for Shaving: In many DHT procedures, there's no need to shave the entire head before the surgery, which can be appealing for those who want to maintain their current hairstyle during the transplant.

What is the cost of DHT Treatment in Mumbai? 

The cost of DHT (Direct Hair Transplantation) treatment in Mumbai, as with any medical procedure, can vary significantly based on several factors, including the clinic or medical facility, the experience of the surgeon, the extent of hair loss, and the number of grafts needed. It's essential to note that pricing for hair transplant procedures can change over time and may also depend on the specific technique used and any additional services included. 

What Could be the Potential Side Effects of DHT Treatment for Hair Loss?

Swelling: Swelling of the forehead and around the eyes is common immediately after the procedure but usually subsides within a few days.

Pain and Discomfort: Some discomfort and mild pain at the donor and recipient sites are normal after the surgery. This typically resolves within a few days and can be managed with pain medication.

Redness and Itching: Temporary redness and itching at the transplant and donor areas may occur but usually subside in the days following the procedure.

Scarring: While DHT leaves minimal scarring, there may be tiny, dot-like scars in the donor area. These are often not noticeable, especially when hair is of sufficient length.

Infection: Although rare, there is a risk of infection at the surgical sites. Proper post-operative care and antibiotics, if prescribed, can help minimize this risk.

Bleeding: Minor bleeding or oozing at the transplant and donor sites is possible but typically stops on its own or can be controlled with pressure.

Numbness: Temporary numbness or lack of sensation in the donor and recipient areas may occur but often resolves over time.

Aftercare of Direct Hair Transplantation for Hair Loss

Follow Your Surgeon's Instructions: Adhere to the specific post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon, as they may vary slightly depending on your individual case. Your surgeon will give you guidance on how to care for your newly transplanted hair and donor area.

Medications: Take any prescribed medications, such as antibiotics or pain relievers, as directed by your surgeon. These can help prevent infection and manage discomfort.

Avoid Touching or Scratching: Resist the urge to touch or scratch the transplanted area, as this could dislodge grafts or introduce bacteria. Gently pat the area if needed.

Shampooing: Your surgeon will advise when and how to start shampooing your hair. Gentle washing and care are essential to keep the area clean and prevent infection.

Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your scalp from direct sunlight and harsh UV rays for a few weeks after the procedure. Wear a hat or use sunscreen to prevent sunburn.

Physical Activity: Avoid strenuous physical activities, such as heavy lifting or vigorous exercise, for at least a week or as advised by your surgeon. Activities that cause excessive sweating should also be avoided.

Sleep Position: During the initial days after the procedure, try to sleep with your head elevated to minimize swelling. Your surgeon will provide guidance on the recommended sleeping position.

Scab Care: Some scabbing may occur in the donor and recipient areas. Follow your surgeon's instructions for gently cleaning and moisturizing these areas to help scabs fall off naturally.

Diet and Hydration: Maintain a balanced diet and stay well-hydrated to support the healing process.

Follow-up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon. These visits are crucial for monitoring your progress and addressing any concerns.

Patience: Be patient. It can take several months for the transplanted hair to grow and mature. Hair shedding is common within the first few weeks, but regrowth will occur over time.

Avoid Smoking and Alcohol: If possible, avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption during the healing phase, as they can impede the healing process.

Remember that individual recovery times and specific instructions may vary depending on the extent of the DHT procedure and your unique condition. Always consult with your provider for personalized aftercare guidance and follow their recommendations closely to ensure the best possible results.
