Micrografts / Minigrafts - Hair Restoration Delhi

Hair transplant procedures have changed in the decades since they were first done. The earlier methods of using hair plugs were not satisfactory. People looked like they had doll's heads, with hair sticking out of their hair in clumps. Now hair transplants are more natural looking because of a procedure called micro grafting. Most hair transplant surgeries today involve micro grafting to some degree. Micro grafts hold about three or four hair follicles. Older style hair grafts often held more like a dozen hair roots. These new micro grafts are only possible because skilled surgeons have refined the methods of extracting them. Micro grafts are useful in hair transplant surgery because they can give the hair a quite natural appearance. The hair emerges from the scalp in the most natural way, with the same number of hairs that nature intended. If the procedure is done correctly, no one can tell the difference. However unnoticeable and natural micro grafts appear, they do not give you a full, thick head of hair. For that, many hair transplant surgeons will use micro grafts for the hairline and the front and edges of the hair. Then, they will use mini grafts farther back on the scalp. If a person had this arrangement after a hair transplant and then shaved the micro grafts, the mini grafts would look decidedly unnatural. However, with the micro grafts on the leading edges, they blend in and give the hair fullness. They serve an important function. Previously, when hair plugs were used, doctors did the hair transplant surgeries much differently. They used an instrument called a trephine to cut circular grafts from 2mm to 5mm in diameter. These plugs were inserted into the balding area. Now, a multi-bladed knife can be used to cut long thin strips of donor tissue. The strip of scalp will be about an inch wide and five inches long. Then, the hair transplant doctor pulls the skin together where this was taken out, and stitches it together. 

In this most recent and popular procedure, grafts of hair are transplanted from the back and sides of the head in groups of one to four with the help of Robot that assists perfect graft yield. Since it mimics how human hair actually grows, the procedure delivers results that look more natural. Another advantage that this procedure has over the others is that it does not involve any ‘Human Touch' as it involves suction assisted harvesting of grafts which ensures that no hair root is cut or damaged in the process and ensures maximum graft yield. Unlike other methods there are no major and deep cuttings. Thus, the recovery time is shorter and the scars that arise are minimal. Robotic FUE is a breakthrough technology introduced by Medicamat, France by the name of S.A.F.E.R (Suction Assisted Follicular Extraction and Re-implantation) Robot and known as Neograft in the western world. This patented robot adds a new dimension to the conventional manual hair transplant techniques by increasing efficiency and promising better results. It provides dramatic improvements to conventional graft harvesting techniques by performing controlled suction so that the hair root is undamaged. It also uses controlled pressure re-implantation as compared to the manual direct hair transplantation.

In this procedure, a strip of hair from the donor region is taken and the hair grafts are then dissected from it and implanted on the thinning or balding area. Sutures are then used to close the donor area. The area takes several days to heal. This procedure is best for average to extreme balding cases since it allows several grafts to be transplanted in a single session. Even though it leaves a scar, one must understand that this scar will not be visible unless the person shaves his head. The major disadvantage of this method is the poorer graft yield and a longer healing time while also having advantages such as it is much faster and cheaper than Follicular Unit Extraction method.   At Berkowits we can transplant upto 2000 hair grafts through How Trichophytic Closure is performed?   a) o o   b)       STEP-2 o        After the follicular unit has been extracted then the integral part of the process is the extraction of intact follicular grafts. o        The harvested follicular units are then dissected with great care under fibre optic equipped microscopes to avoid the application of heat that may harm the hair follicles. o        Once separated, these follicular units are preserved in a special saline solution at the correct temperature waiting to be placed in the recipient area, which is the bald or thinning area on the scalp. c)       STEP-3 o        The surgeon then first prepares recipient sites on the patient. o        The final step of the surgery is the follicular unit placement. The grafts are placed with due care and attention one by one with forceps by expert hair transplant technician.

We value the faith of our patients on us. With the help of “Graft Counter” you can monitor the number of grafts at the time of procedure. While in other clinics you will find the difference of 10-20% in the number of grafts promised and implanted. f)       Transection Rate: Transection rate is the rate of graft destroyed during extraction. Robotic DHT offers you the minimum transection rate i.e 3% where as in Traditional FUE this varies between 15-20%.

At RENAISSANCE, our incredibly hard working team and their high level of experience can transplant a maximum of 6000 grafts within a single session of surgical hair replacement. Putting this into retrospect, a high percentage of clinics in INDIA and around the world quote a maximum of between 2000 – 2500 grafts which is almost 4000 grafts less then RENAISSANCE A one day procedure that obtains between 4000 and 6000 grafts is what we at RENAISSANCE call a Mammoth-Session. These procedures will treat a much larger surface area and provide a more dense coverage than a smaller sized procedure (of say 2000 grafts) would. Growth rates of between 90-100% are achieved in 98.6% of our FUG patients. In the unlikely event that your growth level is below 90% we will replace any grafts that did not grow for free! If you are someone that is extensively bald who requires as much hair as possible, come to RENAISSANCE for a free initial consultation to find out if you are a suitable candidate for a "mammoth-session." Simply choose to BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT NOW! Feel free to browse through our BEFORE & AFTER gallery to view examples of patients that obtained over 4000 grafts within one surgery
