But not anymore, Layers is here for you with the most advanced Hair Transplantation Technique.
What Is Hair Transplantation?
Hair Transplantation or Hair Transplant is a minimally invasive surgical procedure where the experts take healthy hair strands from other parts of your body and plant them in the areas where there are no hair follicles. Hair transplantation in Hyderabad is a long-lasting hair restoration treatment that includes a grafting/ transplanting technique. The grafting technique uses a round punch graft to pick out skin cells of healthy hair follicles from the donor site (hairy part of the body) and transplant them to the recipient site (the bald part of your head).

Types Of Hair Transplantation At Layers
At layers, we offer four different types of hair transplantation.
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)
During the FUT hair transplant treatment, the trichologist cuts a strip of scalp from the back of the patient's head and dissects it into multiple grafts, achieving a set for the bald area. This procedure is mainly recommended for people with larger areas of baldness and those who like to get the desired results in a single sitting. People who opt for this method should also not bother about the cuts and stitches at the back of their heads. Also, this procedure might take a longer time to recover.
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
The FUE hair transplant in Hyderabad involves the extraction of individual follicular units one by one from the back of the head using a tiny specialized machine. Although the procedure is relatively minute, it takes multiple hours to complete. There is absolutely no pain during and after the procedure. FUE is best suitable for people with fewer areas of baldness and who like to have sport shorter hairstyles post-surgery. Since the process is less invasive and involves minimum cuts and stitches on the scalp, FUE offers faster recovery. After extracting healthy hair cells from the donor site, the trichologist then fixes the extracted follicles onto the bald area. Tiny holes were punched on the recipient site using fine needles and blades for transplantation. The extracted hair follicles are then inserted into the small holes. Of course, to experience zero pain, the bald area is numbed with high-quality anesthesia before the start of the procedure.
DHT (Direct Hair Transfer)
Direct Hair Transfer (DHT) is an advanced version of FUE that involves extracting the follicular units from the donor area and is done individually using a manual extractor instead of a motor. The extracted healthy follicles are then planted into the recipient area using a patented device called a "Transplanter" without creating any reception holes. DHT gives 100% natural results as the follicles are placed very carefully, keeping in mind the graft's angle, depth, and direction.
BHT (Body Hair Transplantation)
BHT, also known as Body Hair Transplant, is a type of hair transplantation that is similar to FUE, except the donor area is not the back of the head; instead, it is the other parts of the body, including the beard, chest, stomach, back, arms and legs. After collecting the grafts from these body areas, the trichologist then transplants them onto the balded areas. BHT is generally done on people suffering from extreme baldness and with less reserve or fragile hair at the back of the head. Therefore, layers give a giant ray of hope to even people suffering from severe hair loss.
