Hair transplant
For the majority of people, it has always been important to have healthy hair for a better appearance and greater self-confidence, as it has an impact on them and their social lives.
Several factors affect hair growth and strength and cause hair loss at an early age. For example, according to recent research, 25% of men begin to experience hair loss by the age of 20.
Hair transplantation is a microsurgical procedure that must be performed in a hospital environment by specialists in the domain.
Should I get a hair transplant?
For men, it is normal to lose their hair because of, for hormonal reasons, hair roots that cannot get adequate nutrition are lost and cause baldness over time, usually starting from the forehead and continuing to the top, or only on the top.
For women, hair transplantation can be performed to replicate dilated hair or to refine upside-down hair that usually appears in the middle of the frontal part of the head.
Baldness in women can be caused by stress, age, various diseases, seasonal changes and hormonal changes such as pregnancy, menopause and childbirth.
After the checkup, the specialist can determine whether or not the person can have this procedure and the technique to be applied because of the hair structure and genetic characteristics.
What to do before the transplant operation?
Before the procedure, the doctor will determine the number of follicles needed to obtain a decent result and the natural appearance. Some tests are also included and specific questions will be asked to determine if your case is suitable for a hair transplant and to identify the donor area. The donor area is the main source of supply for transplants. This area is typically the posterior part of the hair.
We advise you to follow a few instructions before the transplant operation:
- If you are on medication, you must inform the doctor.
- Wash your hair before the operation
- Avoid painkillers two days before the operation.
- Do not take aspirin pills and blood thinners for two days before the operation.
- Do not drink alcohol one week before the hair transplant.
- Minimize cigarettes as much as possible if you are a smoker.
- Avoid drinking coffee and green tea on the day of the operation.
- Wear simple clothing such as a shirt on the day of the operation.
- Do not apply lotion or hairspray to the hair before the hair transplant.
We master the best transplantation techniques
Hair transplant Sapphire FUE
It is a technique based on the extraction one by one of the hair follicles from the back of the head (donor area) and their transplantation into the bald areas.
The Sapphire FUE technique is performed with a micro-grafting procedure of the hair follicle. It can treat the problem of alopecia in both men and women, and is also designed for patients of all ages.
Sapphire FUE technology uses special sapphire blades, instead of ordinary steel blades, during the process of creating incisions on the scalp.
The use of the sapphire stone as the blade material influences the shape of the blades and therefore the final result, allowing for much more precise incisions ensuring smaller channels are opened and thus eliminating the risk of irritation to neighbouring hair follicles and scars.
Stages of the Sapphire FUE transplant
This technique consists mainly of 5 steps:
- The shortening of the hair in the donor area to 1 mm.
- Local anesthesia of the donor and recipient area.
- Separation of the follicle in a cylindrical manner by micromotors.
- Extraction of follicles from the scalp with micro forceps
- Transplantation of follicles into open canals in the target area
Since the patient is his own donor (autologous), the result of the process using the Sapphire FUE technique is 100% natural, by implanting his own hair.
Advantages of the Sapphire FUE transplant
Hair transplant DHI
The DHI technique is a new method of hair transplantation that has recently been widely used in hair restoration. This technique was invented in South Korea by a group of doctors and then spread around the world. This technique is very similar to a direct hair transplant.
The DHI grafting technique uses a unique transplant instrument, the “CHOI PEN”, consisting of several sharp iron heads with a thickness varying from 0.6 mm to 1 mm and an empty body in the middle where we place the grafts. This unique structure ensures simultaneous extraction and implantation.
The steps of the DHI transplant
The extraction phase
First, your doctor focuses on the donor area at the back of the skull.
One by one, each follicle will be gently and precisely inserted into the hollow needle, which is positioned at the end of the CHOI PEN.
Follicle classification
The follicles, which can contain up to 9 hairs (the average is 2.2 hairs), are sorted one by one, without ever being altered or divided.
They are meticulously divided, by number, into a preservative solution called HypoThermosol, which is generally used in organ transplants. In this way, their trauma is reduced to a minimum and their quality is preserved.
This meticulous classification makes the doctor’s work easier in order to recreate harmonious and natural hair.
The implementation phase
In this last step, the doctor will inject, by hand, each follicle directly onto your scalp, on the areas that need it, using the DHI hair injector.
This true precision tool allows him to control the angle, depth and direction of implantation for completely natural hair.
