HAIR TRANSPLANT

FUE TECHNIQUE

The modern and most sophisticated method for hair transplantation that surgeons use worldwide is called FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). An ideal candidate for a FUE hair transplant is someone who is balding or has thinning hair but still has enough hair in the donor area.

In FUE, the recipient area and the area from which the follicles will be extracted will first have their hair trimmed. In order to precisely place the grafts and distribute the extracted grafts, the desired hairline is drawn. Additionally, it leads to more comfortable hand movements, which help with improved graft extraction and implantation.

Next, each graft is removed one at a time from the donor site . The extracted grafts are kept in temperature-controlled cold chambers and are dipped in saline to ensure their survival. Fine needles or other similar instruments are used to make a series of tiny slits. This is regarded as the most crucial step in the process and needs to be completed precisely. Because these slits must be made at the proper angles and in the right directions to produce better density and a hair pattern that looks more natural, it takes specialised training and skills.

Finally, using forceps, the extracted grafts are inserted into these slits. Slitting and graft implantation are done concurrently to minimise graft out-of-body time and improve outcomes.

The entire process is almost painless and carried out under local anaesthesia. The total time for the treatment could range from 4 to 8 hours, depending on how many grafts need to be placed.

After a FUE hair transplant, a person can resume their routine the very following day.

DHT Technique

DHT TECHNIQUE

A modified form of the FUE Technique is called Direct Hair Transplantation Technique. The primary difference between FUE and DHT is that the latter involves graft extraction occurring immediately prior to implantation. It reduces the graft's out-of-body time to nearly zero, increasing the grafts' survival rate.

After being removed, each hair graft is put into the scalp right away. In comparison to the FUE technique, this method requires more surgical hands and requires more time.

The process is simple, each hair graft is extracted, and the harvested graft is implanted simultaneously with the formation of an incision or slit in the bald area of the scalp. Until the required hair density is reached, this process is repeated with each and every hair graft.

Despite their similarities, surgeons prefer both FUE and DHT because they are both are modern and advanced hair transplant procedures.

The DHT Technique costs a little bit more than the FUE Technique because it requires more surgical hands.

It is the least invasive hair transplant procedure available to restore hair, adjust the hairline, or increase hair volume.
