What is Hair Patch Treatment?

A hair patch is a customized, non-surgical hair replacement system. It is designed using natural or synthetic hair and fixed onto the bald area using medical-grade adhesives, tapes, or clips.

Unlike traditional wigs, hair patches are lightweight, breathable, and blend naturally with existing hair, providing instant results.

✅ Benefits of Hair Patch Treatment

• Non-surgical & painless – no needles or anesthesia

• Instant results – immediate coverage of bald areas

• Affordable – lower cost than surgical treatments

• Customizable – can be cut, styled, and colored

• Suitable for almost everyone, even patients unfit for surgery
 

❌ Limitations of Hair Patch Treatment

• Temporary – requires replacement every 8–12 months

• Needs regular salon visits for adjustments

• May cause skin irritation or allergies due to adhesives

• Not a permanent solution like transplantation

What is Hair Transplant?

A hair transplant is a minor surgical procedure where healthy hair follicles are extracted from the donor site (usually the back of the scalp) and transplanted to bald or thinning areas.

Techniques Offered at Adorn Clinic

• FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Individual follicle extraction and transplantation

• FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): Strip method where grafts are divided and transplanted

• IGHT (InstaGraft Hair Transplant): Simultaneous extraction and implantation for higher graft survival

• Beard & Moustache Transplant: Correct patchy beard growth for a fuller look

• Eyebrow Transplant: Restore thin or missing eyebrows naturally

Over time, the transplanted follicles grow into permanent, natural hair.

✅ Benefits of Hair Transplant

• Permanent, lifelong solution

• Natural-looking results that match your hair density & texture

• Low maintenance after growth

• Improves self-image & confidence

❌ Limitations of Hair Transplant

• Surgical procedure – requires local anesthesia

• Results take 6–12 months to be fully visible

• Higher upfront cost compared to hair patch

• Not suitable for patients with poor donor hair density
