Hair Transplant v/s Cosmetic Hair Patch: Which is better?

Hair Loss is very stressful as it impacts the personality traits of a person, like less confidence, and lowers self-esteem. People of all ages can suffer from hair loss, but it is most common in middle-aged. Nowadays, Bollywood has also started focusing on how hair loss in males and females can impact their life. And movies like Bala, Ujda Chaman, and Gone Kesh are a few examples of it.

So, why do people suffer from hair loss? Several factors, including lack of nutrition, excessive stress, sleep, genetics, hormonal changes, anemia, or normal aging, can cause hair loss or hair thinning. Fortunately, there are several solutions offered by hair restoration clinics in India that can temporarily or permanently resolve hair loss problems. This blog will explain this in detail.

Different hair loss solutions available in the market:

Excessive hair loss can cause pattern or complete baldness. To solve this problem, one must look for the right solution at the right time. Luckily, several hair loss solutions are available in the market; some are permanent, while others are temporary. Depending on the requirement, one can choose the best available option.

Sometimes, hair transplant clinics and surgeons try to fool their patients. They acclaim homeopathy medicine, oils, serums, and several false treatments. But applying these on the scalp can never solve hair loss-related problems completely. According to scientists, oils, serums, or any other medicines only offer the best results when they are accompanied by the proper treatment. If you are undergoing any hair loss treatment, ensure that your surgeon or doctor diagnoses the hair loss problem properly and then suggests the best treatment for you.

There are non-surgical and surgical hair loss treatments available at DHI hair restoration clinics.

Non-Surgical Treatment for Baldness Problem: DHF, Cosmetic Hair Patch, or Hair Weaving:

The non-surgical hair loss solution available at DHI India is Cosmetic Hair Patch or Direct Hair Fusion. The patient who is completely bald and doesn’t have a strong donor area can opt for the non-surgical hair loss treatment. The DHF treatment is completed within an hour, and the result is instantly noticeable. The cosmetic hair patch of natural hair is designed after measuring the bald spot. It can be easily attached and detached on the spot whenever needed. It costs less than a hair transplant. The cosmetic hair patch or DHF is the world’s finest customized quality hair system that offers any choice of hairstyle made of natural human hair that matches hair color and texture. It is hard to identify the difference between natural hair and patch because it is customized for each candidate by DHI clinics.

Numerous non-surgical treatments for baldness problems are available in the market. In case you are looking for a non-surgical solution that offers natural and dense results immediately without impacting your skin or scalp, Direct Hair Fusion (DHF) is the best for you.

Direct Hair Fusion (DHF) is the most advanced non-clinical hair replacement technique. It is appropriate for men and women with high-grade alopecia. At DHI India, this technique has an advanced hair replacement system that involves a delicate, skin-friendly membrane that has tiny pores with 100% human virgin hair woven to match the density, color, and texture of existing hair on the scalp.

DHI experts ensure that the Cosmetic hair patch prepared is designed after proper diagnosis, analyzing the bald spot’s dimensions, and preparing a mold of it. They also take a small sample of the candidate’s hair to ensure the patch matches the scalp hair texture correctly. It allows them to offer a 100% natural look for this non-surgical technique.

What makes DHF at DHI India different from non-surgical techniques offered at other clinics?

• Custom Design: DHI Specialists customize the hair patch for each candidate. The ‘hair replacement system’ is made in Europe as per the order. The overall arrival takes around 3-4 weeks. After DHI Specialists receive the customized hair patch, they fix it on the scalp of the candidate with the help of skin-friendly materials.
• Performed by Professionals: Unlike other clinics, at DHI India, the entire process is performed by highly trained DHI professionals and experienced hair stylists while following world-class procedures. The entire process takes around an hour to complete.
• Beneficial for men and women: DHF can be performed on both men and women. Most clinics offer cosmetic hair patches or hair weaving only for men, as matching the length of women’s hair is tough for them. At DHI, we designed DHF while keeping this problem in mind. Depending on the hair density, length, and color, the person’s ‘hair replacement system’ is customized.
• Nearly Permanent: DHF may require maintenance every 20-30 days, but it is also significantly less than other non-surgical solutions available in the market. Unlike other solutions, you don’t have to remove it every time while coming into contact with water. You have the freedom to comb, style, dry, or wash it anytime. However, you would need to replace it off your skin in 5-8 months, which is again a much more extended time than other techniques.

Once the customized patch is fixed on the scalp, candidates may occasionally experience some uneasiness for 3-4 days. But once they get used to it, they admire the natural and dense hair look.

Surgical and Permanent Hair Loss Solution: DHI^TM – Direct Hair Implantation:

The surgical option to get a permanent solution for hair loss is a DHI Hair Transplant procedure. In a hair transplant treatment, the hair loss problem is solved permanently. The hair transplant surgeon surgically transplants the hair from the donor area to the impacted/bald area. It provides a natural appearance, and the transplanted hair grows naturally and is easy to maintain. Hair transplant can be done following different techniques, including FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), and DHI^TM (Direct Hair Implantation).

The DHI is the most advanced technique and offers a painless procedure and 100% natural results every time with maximum density. There are no scars and scalpels. The end-to-end procedure is performed by the surgeon. No technician or nurse touches the patient scalp. The hair transplant surgeon will suggest the best surgical technique after diagnosing your hair loss problem.

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is a patented technique performed at DHI Clinics only by doctors trained and certified at DHI academy. It is a virtually painless procedure where follicles are implanted directly in the scalp. It is the most advanced form of the FUE technique, where the extracted grafts are implanted in the bald area.

In this procedure, the head is shaved off or unshaven, and local anesthesia is administered to the affected area. With the help of surgical tools with a fine tip, the hair follicles are extracted from the back side of the head. They are stored in a unique solution and at a specific temperature. The exacted follicles are then implanted into the recipient area using specially designed patented tools. This technique can be used to restore hair on the scalp, beard, or eyebrows.

This advanced hair transplant technique aims to offer a permanent and natural hair loss solution for people suffering from Androgenic Alopecia.

Both men and women are eligible for this treatment. Whenever you have to find the best solution for your hair loss problem, visit the DHI hair transplant clinic which has a team of the best surgeons, that offers the overall scalp diagnostic and has a trustworthy past client portfolio and reviews.

What makes Direct Hair Implantation at DHI India different from surgical techniques offered at other clinics?

• Master Surgeons: DHI has a team of master surgeons who follow global protocols. It helps them ensure preciseness throughout the process. It helps them to offer a more than 90% graft survival rate. The entire procedure is performed by DHI surgeons from start to end.
• Strict Quality Control System: DHI follows a strict quality control system authorized by international authorities, including the international system organization (ISO) and UK CQC, to ensure the best results from the hair transplant. Each transplant is performed with patented titanium-coated single-use instruments.
• More than 90% survival rate: DHI technique performed at DHI International Medical Group offers a 90% graft survival rate. At the same time, the survival rate of transplanted hair is less than 50% of other clinics. Many candidates also choose DHI to repair the results of past hair transplant techniques from other clinics. Around 37% of all the performed techniques at DHI are repair cases.
• Cost Transparency: Unlike other clinics, DHI India has specific guidelines to calculate hair transplant costs. Following the number of grafts to be transplanted to offer the denser look, DHI calculates the entire cost. During the diagnosis of the scalp, the DHI specialist gives an estimated cost of the hair transplant to the candidate, which can differ from person to person.

Which one is better: A non-surgical or surgical Hair Loss Solution?

At DHI India, both non-surgical and surgical hair loss solutions are available. DHF and DHI, both can solve different problems for different people. If you don’t have enough donor hair on your scalp or are looking for instant results, choose DHF. Otherwise, a DHI hair transplant is the best way to get a permanent and lifetime solution for hair loss problems. It is a one-time solution that doesn’t require much maintenance in the long run.

Another thing to consider, the costs of both techniques are different. A Hair Transplant is a surgical procedure, so it costs a bit higher. However, it offers permanent results that non-surgical techniques can’t. On the other hand, non-surgical solutions, including cosmetic hair patches or direct hair fusion, or hair weaving, require regular maintenance, and you would have to replace them after a decided period. Always discuss your requirements with the hair restoration specialists to find the best solution for your problem and within your budget.

DHI Medical Group has been a global leader offering hair loss solutions since 1970. It has the largest chain of hair restoration clinics worldwide, with 75+ clinics in 45 countries. By following the gold standards designed by the robust research advisory board, world-class facilities, and Europe and US patent equipment, DHI can maintain the best global reputation.
