Folligraft - Non-Surgical Hair Graft Asia

Hair Transplantation is a technique used to treat male pattern baldness. It is a minimally invasive procedure. If you have seen any bald person, you will notice that they will never lose the hair on the sides and at the back of head. It is because hair in these areas are resistant to falling. They are also called as resistant hair. Hair Transplantation involves relocation of these resistant hair to bald area. As these hairs are resistant to falling, they can be used to cover the baldness. Transplanted hairs grow like natural hair. This help patients achieve a natural appearance.  The hair transplant procedure involves following steps1. Taking out roots from the back and sides of head (donor areas) :- Hair roots or grafts are taken out from the back of head. This can be done by two methods. First is FUT (Follicular Unit Transfer) in which a strip of skin containing thousands of follicles is removed from backside of head. Second method is FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) in which single single follicles are removed with the help of motorized machine. 2. Implantation of roots:- This is the second step of hair transplantation process. It is same in both FUT and FUE. Implantation of follicles at the bald area can be achieved by either Stick and Place technique or Lateral Slit technique. Our doctors at Prime Hair Studio use “Stick and Place technique” In this technique hair transplant physician makes a small incision and immediately places the graft into it, thus minimizing bleeding to almost nil.

FUE  Hair Transplant  (Follicular Unit Extraction ) is a latest method of hair transplant. It does not leave visible scar at the back the head.  In FUE, a small instrument is used to take out the hair root unit (graft) one by one from donor area. It does not involve cutting out strip of skin as in FUT hair transplant.FUE is minimally invasive procedure resulting in less post-operative pain and restrictions in movement.Advantages of FUE Hair TransplantFUE is good for patients who want to keep their hair very short after transplant. Recovery after FUE is faster. Patient can resume their activities soon after the procedure.For patients having a very tight scalp, FUE hair transplant is recommended because stitching of FUT becomes difficult.FUE hair transplant also allows the surgeon to remove hair from other parts of the body such as the beard, chest, back,legs etc. This is very helpful in people who do not have sufficient donor hair at the back of the head.FUE can be used to cover the scar of previous hair transplant surgery.
