Biofibre (Biocompatible Artificial hair) hair implantation is a procedure where natural looking hair are implanted in the scalp one by one exactly matching the existing original hair. These hairs can be styled in any way and give excellent cosmetic appearance. These are made of polyamide fibers and are available in different length (from 15-45 cm), colours, shades and straight, wavy as well as curly so depending upon patient’s hair colour & type- they can be chosen. So you don’t have to wait for these hair to grow unlike natural hair transplant.

These hairs look exactly like natural hairs & it is almost impossible to differentiate between the two. These hairs can be washed & combed like natural hairs. Number of hair required in a patient depends upon the size of bald area & the desirable density. After the implant the Patient resumes his/her social life, with the desired look and psychological wellness.

This procedure is a boon for patients who don’t have enough donor area or time left for natural hair transplant or who don’t want natural hair transplant at all. The procedure is very simple and in a few hours you get natural looking hair. It is an absolutely painless procedure.

Instant Procedure

It is particularly the procedure of choice for our overseas patients as just in a single session they can get the entire job done. The procedure saves a lot of time & travel expenses. Unlike a wig, this is very natural as the hair are fixed to the scalp and are absolutely natural looking.

Advantages of Biofibre hair implantation:

• No downtime: results are instant & patients don’t have to wait for these hair to grow unlike natural hair transplant. In case of emergencies or some important event coming at a short notice (like marriage), it is a very good option. Later on natural hair transplantation procedure can also be done after removing these hairs.
• Excellent cosmetic acceptance: they look exactly like natural hairs & it is really very difficult to differentiate these hairs from the natural ones.
• Limited donor area: patients who have limited donor area or who have exhausted the donor area, this is a good option.

Disadvantages of Biofibre Hair Implantation:

• Not permanent: This is just a temporary solution for baldness as there is 10-20% hair loss per year. It needs some small re-implants to maintain the aesthetic result.
• Regular cleaning: There is formation of sebum plug at the root of these hairs. This has to be cleaned on regular basis (Once in 2-3 months). Failure to do so increases chances of infection & fall of these hairs. Cleaning is a simple procedure & anybody can do it after a little bit of training.
• Test patch: We have to do a test patch of 100-200 hairs before going for a large session of synthetic hairs. As these hairs are not the part of your body, they can cause foreign body reactions. These types of reactions can be seen in 1-2 % of the cases. Once cut these hairs would not grow unlike natural hairs, so one has to be very careful while styling them.
• Regular maintenance: It needs a suitable hygiene of the scalp and respect of after care.
• Contraindication: it is not recommended on sensitive patient and patient suffering from other scalp diseases.

Still in spite of these limitations, Synthetic hair transplant has proven to be a good solution for baldness in patients with limited donor supply or having shortage of time.
