Understanding Alopecia and Available Treatments

What Is Alopecia?

Alopecia refers to hair loss resulting from various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, or autoimmune conditions. It manifests in different forms, such as male and female pattern baldness, alopecia areata, and scarring alopecias.

Treatment Options at DrUzmaIrfan.com

1. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

FUE is a minimally invasive technique where individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area and transplanted to thinning or balding regions. This method offers natural-looking results with minimal scarring and a quicker recovery time.

2. Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

Also known as strip harvesting, FUT involves removing a strip of hair-bearing skin from the donor area, dissecting it into individual grafts, and transplanting them to the recipient site. This technique is suitable for patients requiring a larger number of grafts.

3. Irfan Follicular Implant (IFI)

Developed by Dr. Rana Irfan, IFI is an advanced form of FUT that minimizes graft wastage and enhances hair density. It involves a unique skin separation method to harvest grafts, reducing donor site scarring and improving overall results.

4. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP therapy utilizes the patient’s own blood to extract growth factors that stimulate hair follicles, promoting natural hair growth. It’s often used as a complementary treatment to enhance the outcomes of hair transplant procedures.
