An Open Technique in Hair Transplantation

FOLLICULAR UNIT TRANSPLANTATION

Hairline design is a combination of science and art. Our doctors will seek your opinion to draw a new hairline most suitable for your facial contour. Sedation will be given orally so that you will be relaxed and calm before local anesthetic is administered. After removing a piece of skin for grafts harvesting, we make very tiny incision [lateral slit] at the areas to be transplanted. These slits are oriented in the same direction and angle of your existing hair. We insert the hair in a purposefully random fashion along the hairline to look natural.

In this clinic we do exclusively follicular unit transplantation, nothing bigger. Follicular units (FUs) are the smallest hair groupings naturally occurring in the human scalp. FUs may contain 1-4 hairs. Our team is very meticulous in handling and inserting the grafts into the created slits. The follicular grafts are first contained in special ring holders designed by our clinic to prevent dessication. The holders also assist the transplanters to select the appropriate graft size for insertion. By selecting only skinny 1 hair grafts for the front, and coarse 2 to 3 hair grafts on the back, we can create very natural looking result.
