Traction Alopecia is a common condition caused by excessive hairstyling or pulling that can lead to hair loss. Hair transplants are a solution to this condition. Transplants are a surgical technique that removes hair from the back and sides of the head and relocates it to balding areas.
Traction alopecia hair transplant are typically done using the FUT (follicular unit transplantation) or FUE (follicular unit extraction) technique. In FUT, a strip of scalp is removed from the donor area and the follicular units are separated from the strip. The follicular units are then transplanted to the recipient area. In FUE, individual follicular units are extracted from the donor area and transplanted to the recipient area.
