Introduction

Hair is considered to be the crown of our heads. With a good amount of hair in our head, we flaunt it the way we can. Healthy hair gives us confidence and makes us look beautiful and handsome. But, with the increase in pollution and other environmental hazards, our health has been affected, which in turn has affected our diets. A poor diet results in bad health, including that of the hair. People have been suffering from hair fall problems for decades now. It has become quite common in today’s time. Different types of hair fall problems have resulted in people opting for a method in which hair growth looks natural. Hair transplant is one of the most accepted methods when it comes to getting back your natural hair. One might choose to get a hair transplant done, but one needs to be careful about the risk of hair transplant as well. Every type of surgical procedure includes advantages and disadvantages. Hence a detailed study of hair transplant and recovery of hair transplant should be done before opting for this procedure.


Dubai too, offers the opportunity to regain your lustrous, thick hair back. Hair transplant cost in Dubai depends upon the number of grafts that a patient opts for. The most advanced and best hair transplants can cost up to AED 60,000. It depends upon your choice and the condition of your baldness that will help one to choose to go through a hair transplant in Dubai.

What is Hair Transplant?

Hair transplant is a surgical procedure in which hair follicles are removed from one site and transplanted to another. The site from which hair follicles are removed is known as the ‘removal site,’ and the site in which the hair follicles are transplanted is called the ‘recipient site’.


Hair transplant is fundamentally used for the treatment of male pattern baldness. In this procedure, the doctor first checks the condition of the patient’s scalp and recommends the number of sittings required concerning the patient’s baldness. The next step is called harvesting.


In this step, surgical operations are carried out in the doctor’s clinic. Local Anaesthesia is used to make the patient’s scalp numb. The doctor then might choose one of the two ways through which hair transplants usually proceed. They are follicular unit strip surgery (FUSS) or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). At some places FUSS is also known as follicular unit transplant (FUT) as well.


In follicular unit strip surgery (FUSS), 6-10 inches of the patient’s strip of skin is removed from the posterior end of the head. These strips are kept aside, and the removal site is sewed immediately, which is hidden by the hair around it.


Following this procedure, the strip of the removed scalp is split into 400 to 2,000 minute grafts. Each graft contains individual hair or just a few hairs. The quality of your hair, the texture, the color, and the size of the area that needs to be transplanted directly affect the procedure of grafting.


In the procedure of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), the back of the patient’s head is shaved. The surgeon removes the hair follicles for the removal site one by one. The area from which the hair has been removed heals with the growth of small dots and is consequently covered by the patient’s hair. Robotic surgical tools are also used in some hair transplant surgeries.


Once the grafts are prepared, the next steps are the same. Slits are prepared on the scalp with the help of a needle and scalpel. These prepared grafts are then delicately inserted into the holes. All these steps take place after your scalp has been numbed.


The entire procedure of hair transplants takes about 4-8 hours. It depends on the area of your scalp that requires a hair transplant.

What Can You Expect from Hair Transplant?

One needs to take good care of the hair to get the best result, along with a little amount of pain because of the hair transplant operation. Since hair transplant is a surgical procedure one needs to take good care of the scalp like any other operated organ. The scalp may be very tender due to the operation. One will be given antibiotics and painkillers for a few days. The doctor may also advise you to keep the bandage of your head intact for a day or two.


Anti-inflammatory drugs may also be prescribed depending upon the condition of the patient’s scalp. You can expect to go back to living a normal life within 2 to 3 days after you are operated on. Your scalp will be required to protect you from the sun. You can begin shampooing your scalp after two days of the surgery.


Shampooing is a crucial part of the post-surgery precautions that must be taken. Shampooing helps prevent scabs on your head thus assisting to avoid the risk of losing newly transplanted hair.


Recovery Of Hair Transplant

Once the hair transplant is done, you may have to wait for a couple of weeks to notice the actual recovery. Recovery of hair transplant is a gradual process but is a satisfying one. The results are overwhelming once you see new hair growing on the same spot where it used to be a bald patch.


The recovery process requires a certain amount of time. After two to three weeks of hair transplant surgery, the transplanted hair will inevitably fall out. This is called ‘shock loss.’ But soon after, a shock loss of new hair will begin to grow within three months. Most of the patients usually see the growth of new hair after 6 to 9 months.


New hair will be present in the area where the surgery has taken place. The visible bald patches may be of the areas that did not undergo hair transplant treatment.


After a hair transplant, many doctors prescribe the hair-growing drug minoxidil (Rogaine) to improve hair growth. The patient may also choose to go for another hair plant surgery if he wants an entire transformation to a new look. While some patients may choose to use medications to be able to manage their hair problems.

Risk and Cost of Hair Transplant

One may be frustrated with his hair problems and visible bald patches. It can lead to loss of confidence and motivation too. One becomes underconfident in his professional space, and it often tends to affect his career. To avoid such emotional problems, a person chooses to take the risk of a hair transplant.


A hair transplant has its advantages and disadvantages. A person who is considering undergoing a hair transplant must be aware of the benefits associated with it. He should also know all the risks of the hair transplant he is about to take while undergoing the surgical procedure.


One of the most common risks of a hair transplant is infection. Since the scalp becomes very tender due to the holes and slits made in them, it makes them vulnerable to infections. One must need to be extra careful and take all the necessary precautions as directed by the doctor. The other risk of hair transplant is bleeding. Bleeding can be due to the infection caused in the scalp. Thus one must be cautious after going through a hair transplant surgery.


An infection named folliculitis may occur in the hair follicles, along with inflammation. This can be treated with antibiotics, which help to relieve the problem. The person who wants to undergo the process of hair transplant must be prepared about all the risks of hair transplant surgery and be ready to take the necessary steps as directed by the doctor.


The cost of a hair transplant has a wide range. It depends upon the number of grafts and also the number of sittings that you chose to get your natural hair back. Hair Transplant cost in Dubai ranges from 12,000 AED to 60,000 AED. As mentioned above, the range is wide and varied due to the different number of graftings and sittings given to the patient according to his needs.

It took me 1 Year to decide whether I wanted to go through with the hair restoration procedure using a Natural Looking Hair piece. I did a lot of research and consulted with many people who had done the procedure.

I was convinced to go ahead due to the information session / in-depth knowledge and the excellent customer service skills of Sanjay- the manager.

I did the procedure 1 month ago and I can honestly say that it was the best decision ever. Advanced Hair Studio provides the best quality for the Hair Pieces. The staff takes the time to understand what you are looking for as a customer. They style your hair based on your facial structure and I must truly admit that their stylists are pure Artists! My favourite stylist is Mohamad from Lebanon. He does magic with his hands and I am always thrilled with the new styles/ suggestions he provides.

I must admit that AHS is on the more expensive side if you were to consider the other competitors in Dubai. However, it is all worth every penny spent! You will not regret it.

Do not over think it. Just go ahead an do the procedure. You will evolve into a whole new person! Believe me! :-)

I started losing my hair in my mid-twenties and in spite of trying all sorts of treatments it gradually got worse and worse. By my late twenties I started cutting my hair short. Whenever I tried to grow it, it used to look a mess and was impossible to style because of my receding and thinning. I was looking at doing a hair transplant for a while, but I kept delaying it in hope that there was some alternative.

When I was in my mid-thirties I first came across AHS. I was a bit skeptical but I thought I’d find out what they could do. I was expecting a sales pitch but what I learned about hair loss and hair restoration from them was presented in a straightforward and logical way, without lots of medical terminology. They take time to explain the root cause of the problem and explore all the different treatments.

I decided to go ahead with the treatment and as it turns out, having AHS fix my hair was one of the best decisions I ever made. I still cannot believe how good my results are. I just wish I’d done it 10 years earlier rather than wasting so much time (and hair!). I would urge anyone who is thinking of doing something to check them out.
