Hair Transplant
Hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves moving hair follicles from one part of the body (usually the back or sides of the scalp) to another (typically the balding or thinning areas of the scalp).
The procedure is primarily used to treat male and female pattern baldness, but can also be used to restore hair in other areas of the body, such as the beard, mustache or eyebrows.
There are two primary methods of hair transplantation: follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE).

Hair Transplant Surgery Steps
Transplantation Test
These tests and evaluations are designed to help the surgeon develop an individualized treatment plan that is tailored to the patient’s specific needs and goals, to ensure the best possible outcome from the hair transplant surgery.
Patients should be open and honest with their surgeon during these evaluations and provide any necessary information to help the surgeon make informed decisions about their care.
Local Anesthesia
Before the surgery begins, the surgeon will administer local anesthesia to the donor and recipient areas to numb the scalp and minimize discomfort. The donor area is usually the back or sides of the scalp, where hair follicles are harvested for transplantation.
Removing Grafts
The surgeon will use one of two primary techniques to harvest hair follicles: follicular unit transplantation (FUT) or follicular unit extraction (FUE). In FUT, a strip of skin is removed from the donor area, and the individual follicular units are dissected under a microscope before being transplanted to the recipient area.
In FUE, individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area using a specialized instrument and then transplanted to the recipient area.
Channel Opening
After the hair follicles have been harvested, the surgeon will create recipient sites in the balding or thinning areas of the scalp where the hair will be transplanted. The sites are carefully placed to ensure a natural-looking hairline and overall result.
Transplantation Procedure
The hair follicles are then transplanted into the recipient sites, either individually or as small groups of follicular units. The surgeon will carefully place the follicles at the correct angle and direction to ensure a natural-looking result.
Result
After the hair transplant surgery is complete, the surgeon will provide detailed instructions for post-operative care, including how to clean and care for the scalp, when to resume normal activities, and what to expect during the recovery period.
FUE TECHNIQUE
FUE, or Follicular Unit Extraction, is a hair transplant technique in which individual hair follicles are harvested from the donor area of the scalp and then transplanted to the recipient area where hair loss or thinning has occurred.
Compared to other hair transplantation techniques such as FUT, FUE typically results in less noticeable scarring and a quicker recovery time, as there is no need for a large incision to be made in the donor area.
FUE also allows for a more targeted approach to hair transplantation, as individual follicles can be harvested and transplanted, making it a popular choice for patients with limited hair loss or those looking to fill in specific areas of the scalp.
WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE FUE TECHNIQUE?
- This is the latest technique used since 2004,
- No visible scars,
- Minimally invasive,
- Natural-looking results,
- No downtime,
- Versatile.
DHI TECHNIQUE
DHI, or Direct Hair Implantation, is a hair transplantation technique that is similar to FUE, but with some key differences in the way the follicles are extracted and transplanted.
DHI is a popular choice for patients looking for a minimally invasive hair transplant technique that results in minimal scarring, as the Choi implanter eliminates the need for creating incisions or holes in the scalp.
Additionally, because the follicles are transplanted immediately after extraction, there is less time for the follicles to become damaged or dehydrated, which can increase the success rate of the procedure.
WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE DHI TECHNIQUE?
- No visible scars,
- Minimally invasive,
- Natural-looking results,
- More precise control,
- Higher survival rate of hair follicles.
SAPPHIRE TECHNIQUE
Sapphire FUE is a hair transplant technique that is similar to traditional FUE but uses specialized sapphire blades for the incisions in the recipient area.
Sapphire FUE is a relatively new hair transplant technique that is gaining popularity among hair transplant surgeons and patients alike. The use of sapphire blades in the recipient site creation process allows for a smoother healing process and more precise incisions, which can result in a more natural-looking hairline and overall result.
Additionally, because the sapphire blades are less likely to cause trauma to the scalp, the recovery period can be shorter than traditional FUE techniques.
WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE SAPPHIRE TECHNIQUE?
- Smaller incisions,
- Faster healing,
- Less trauma,
- Higher density,
- Versatile.
