There are mainly two techniques to undergo a hair transplant surgery, your doctor will decide which one is best suited for you based on your condition and the examination that you will have with them.
In all of the techniques of hair transplant a local anesthetic is always used.
A device that applies high-frequency vibrations is placed on the skin to reduce the sensation of injection, this is medically known as vibratory anesthesia, which is enough to make you not feel any pain during the procedure.

The FUE hair transplant technique without scars consists of taking grafts from the donor areas such as the back of the head for example, then planting those hair follicular in the area that is missing the hair.
The removal of follicular units is carried out using a micro punch; the punch makes it possible to remove the follicular unit which will be grafted without touching its skin and fat attachments.
The doctor will be planting the hair follicular using batches of three hairs each time.
The procedure is painless and does not take a lot of time.

The DHI hair transplant is a method of hair implantation which consists of implanting the grafts in the hairless areas of the scalp using an implanter pen, the Choi pen.
Although derived from the FUE method, this technique is much faster.
What makes this technique faster is that the Extraction and implantation of the graft are done almost simultaneously.
With the DHI transplant technique, it is no longer necessary to make prior incisions in the area of the skull where the hair follicles are extracted.
The grafts are collected from the donor area without the need for an incision and then they are inserted into the pen.
After that, the needle is inserted into the scalp, and the doctor will start to insert the grafts using pressure.

After having the surgery, there are some steps and activities that you should be doing to insure that the results will last for long and to avoid any potential complications.
You should sleep in a semi-upright position on the first night after the operation and use two pillows to raise your head during the first three days after the operation.
Avoid touching or combing your transplanted hair for one to two days after the surgery, when you do comb your hair try avoiding the transplanted area as much as you can so you don't damage it.
You can use a solution in the form of a spray at home that helps new hair grow in the transplanted area every half-hour on the first day after the operation.
Your doctor will instruct you to stop taking aspirin and alcoholic beverages for three days after surgery.
You should also use a new hairbrush other than the old one, at least in the first two weeks after the operation.

The hair transplant surgery is highly safe with a rate of success that is almost unbelievable.
