1. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Hair Transplantation
FUE hair transplantation is a technique that eliminates the need for large tissue excision. The procedure involves transplanting individual hair follicle grafts from the donor area, typically the back of the head, and implanting them into the recipient area.
2. Micrograft FUE Hair Transplantation
Micrograft FUE is a refined version of the traditional FUE technique. It employs extremely small punches, typically ranging from 0.8 to 1.2 millimeters, to meticulously extract individual follicular units.
The extracted grafts are then carefully implanted into the recipient area, creating a natural and aesthetically pleasing hairline. This technique is widely considered a gold standard in hair transplantation, offering patients a natural-looking solution to hair loss.
3. DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) Hair Transplantation
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is an advanced hair transplantation technique that utilizes a specialized Implanter Pen. This tool allows for direct implantation of hair follicles into the scalp, eliminating the need for pre-made incisions.
This technique involves using an Implanter Pen for direct implantation, resulting in smaller wounds and denser hair. It utilizes fewer grafts but can yield 4-5 times more hair through graft splitting. The transplanted hair will grow naturally with fine, beautiful strands, resembling natural hair.
Micrografts and DHI both yield similar results: fine, dense, and closely packed hairlines. Post-procedure, the scalp appears very clean, with no visible scalp, resembling purely implanted hair.
The results of all three techniques are similar, with a graft survival rate of approximately 70-95%. The differences lie in the graft preparation process and the refinement of the grafts. "Micrograft" and "DHI" both enhance refinement and density, hence the price differences.
Shaving is necessary in the donor area (usually the back of the head), where hair follicles are extracted for transplantation. The size of the shaved area depends on the number of grafts needed. Individuals with longer hair can often conceal the shaved area with their existing hair.
The number of grafts used depends on the area where the hair transplant is to be performed. In an area of 1 square centimeter,
about 40-70 grafts can be transplanted, which is enough to create natural-looking hair density and is also suitable for transplanting.
In addition, the clinic has a special promotion for a fixed price per area. You can transplant hair according to the actual amount needed at a fixed price.
Since each time a hair follicle is inserted into the skin, the needle occupies its own volume, if the implants are packed too tightly, the volume of the needles within that area can cause the grafts to 'pop' out. This can result in failed grafts or dried and dead grafts. Therefore, doctors recommend that patients undergo hair transplantation with the actual number of grafts needed, which will yield the best and most suitable results for the patient.
Transplanted hair will begin to grow and lengthen like normal hair after 3-4 months. It will have a growth rate of approximately 1-1.5 centimeters per month, which is the normal growth rate for hair.
