Best TECHNIQUES USED IN HAIR TRANSPLANTATION

Seeing that there are lots of men in the search of a way for new hair growth, medical technology has come up with many hair transplant techniques. HEADFIRST CLINIC offers the most efficient techniques that provides satisfying outcomes in the treatment of thinning hair or loss of hair, which are:

• DHI Technique

With this technology, the follicles are picked out from the donor area via the Micro Motor and transplanted into the receiving area by opening fine channels in the bald areas with precise medical forceps. The operation takes around 6-8 hours, transplanting up to 4000 follicles.

• Sapphire FUE

FUE is considered one of the most important techniques that science has reached in the field of plastic surgery, this technique provides a 100% natural result compared to the previous technique.

This technique has evolved one step further using special pens made of sapphire stone.

This technique involves a Sapphire pen, which is used to create small cuts in the recipient area during the transplant procedure. Grafts will then be implanted, these are called fine slits ‘channels’.

The pen is thin and V-shaped, it is thin and pointed which allows the opening of channels with a high level of accuracy. There is a reduction in the risk of injury to adjacent follicles and scarring due to the small, controlled size of the cut.

What is the Hair transplant surgery procedure?

• Preparation For Hair Transplantation:

The patient’s hair is completely shaven; however, it is sometimes possible to do the procedure without shaving, then the scalp is washed with a sterile solution, and the scalp is injected with a local anaesthetic.

• Follicle Extractions:

At this stage, we use the micromotor device to extract the follicles from the donor area, without damaging the structure of the hair, which increases the amount of healthy extracted follicles, which can be successfully implanted.

• Graft Preservation:

After extracting the follicles, they are kept in a special solution, which is the same solution used to preserve organs during organ transplant procedures. This keeps grafts healthy

• Channels Opening:

The DHI technique uses a ‘Choi pen’. Fine slits (channels) are created and grafts implanted in the same step, while in the sapphire FUE technique involves a sharp-headed tool made from sapphire stone  to open fine slits which the grafts are then implanted. This method is advantageous as it smoothly opens the skin without damaging nearby tissue, then the grafts are implanted into those fine slits (channels).

• Grafting:

In this step, the extracted follicles are inserted into the open channels, the last couple of steps are the most important as it requires a high level of skill.
The surgeon needs to take into consideration the density of the hair and the aesthetic look that the patient requires.
