Hair Transplant

Hair Transplant

At our clinic, we offer advanced hair transplant techniques designed to restore your hairline and boost your confidence. Understanding the different methods available can help you choose the one that best suits your needs.

1. Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

FUT, commonly known as the “strip method,” involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area, usually at the back of the head. This strip is then divided into individual follicular units, which are transplanted into the thinning or balding areas. Advantages:

• Can yield a large number of grafts in a single session.
• Ideal for patients with extensive hair loss.
• Often results in a more natural-looking hairline when performed by an experienced surgeon.

Considerations:

• Leaves a linear scar at the donor site, which may be noticeable if hair is worn short.
• Recovery time may be longer compared to other methods.

2. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

FUE is a minimally invasive technique that involves extracting individual hair follicles directly from the donor area using a specialized punch tool. These follicles are then implanted into the recipient area. Advantages:

• No linear scar, resulting in less visible scarring post-surgery.
• Faster recovery time, allowing patients to return to normal activities sooner.
• Suitable for patients with various hair loss patterns and those seeking to wear their hair short.

Considerations:

• May require more time in the operating room due to the meticulous nature of the extraction process.
• Can be more expensive compared to FUT, depending on the number of grafts needed.

3. Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)

DHI is an advanced form of FUE where hair follicles are extracted and immediately implanted without the need for recipient site incisions. This technique uses a specialized pen-like instrument to implant the follicles directly into the scalp. Advantages:

• Provides precise control over the angle, depth, and direction of each hair follicle, resulting in a more natural appearance.
• Minimizes handling of grafts, reducing the risk of damage.
• No need for incisions, leading to quicker recovery times and less bleeding.

Considerations:

• Requires a highly skilled surgeon experienced in this technique.
• May be more costly compared to traditional FUE due to the advanced technology and expertise involved.

4. Robotic Hair Transplantation

This is an innovative approach that utilizes robotic technology to assist in the FUE process. A robotic system helps identify and extract the best hair follicles for transplantation, enhancing precision and reducing human error. Advantages:

• Increased accuracy in follicle extraction, minimizing damage and maximizing graft viability.
• Can improve overall efficiency and consistency during the procedure.
• Ideal for patients seeking a highly precise and minimally invasive option.

Considerations:

• Limited availability as not all clinics have robotic systems.
• The cost may be higher due to the use of advanced technology.
