What is the most successful hair transplant procedure?

There are two main types of hair transplant procedures, and .

The main between them is the method of extracting the hair follicles which has a big impact on:

A FUT procedure a thin strip of healthy skin is removed from the donor area at the back of the scalp before the being closed. Hair grafts are then taken from this strip and placed into a chilled solution until they are ready to be implanted into the areas being . are then usually made in the recipient area and the new hair are into the incisions using minuscule .

An FUE hair transplant is a more minimally invasive that uses a specialised punch device which ranges in diameter from 0.6mm – 0.9mm. The device is used to extract the follicular units from the donor area complete with the necessary glands. This method separates the tissue from the follicular unit which means minimal trauma to the donor area and better results.

When the grafts are ready to be implanted, hair transplant will either make small incisions for the hair grafts to be implanted into or they may use DHI implanter pens which inject the hair into the scalp which is a great for implanting large numbers of grafts into a area such as the or hairline. Implanter pens are also able to safely implant grafts between existing hair which means patients do not always need to fully shave their head before a hair transplant procedure.

At The Private Clinic, our Hair Restoration have in treating Male Pattern Baldness with the minimally invasive, no linear scar, no stitch technique known as FUE ( Unit Extraction) Hair Transplantation, and we believe this to be the most successful hair transplant procedure with risk of trauma to the donor area.
