Hair transplantation is a pain free surgical technique that removes hair follicles from one part of the body, called the 'donor site', to a bald or balding part of the body known as the 'recipient site'. In this minimally invasive procedure, grafts containing hair follicles that are genetically resistant to balding (like the back of the head) are transplanted to the bald scalp. Hair transplantation can also be used to restore eyelashes, eyebrows, beard hair, chest hair, pubic hair and to fill in scars caused by accidents or surgery such as face-lifts and previous hair transplants.
Since hair naturally grows in groupings of 1 to 4 hairs, current techniques harvest and transplant hair ``follicular units`` in their natural groupings. Thus, modern hair transplantation can achieve a natural appearance by mimicking original hair orientation.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a method of hair transplant. Sapphire hair transplant refers to extracting hair follicles from the donor area using an FUE method and implanting hair follicles into micro incisions using the sapphire blades. Instead of using steel blades, recipient areas are targeted with sapphire blades made from synthetic sapphire. These blades contain a single crystal of sapphire, which is considerably sharper and durable than steel. Sapphire blades are designed to minimize scab formation and to accelerate healing process by creating smaller recipient sites
Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is an advanced method of FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). It’s an innovative technique that involves fewer steps than Follicular Unit Extraction hair transplantation. The biggest difference with FUE is that in DHI hair transplantation, it is not necessary to open the canal to the balding area before transplanting the hair follicles. The DHI hair transplant is also known as the pen technique, the pen consists of implanting the grafts one by one on the scalp with a pen-shaped implant device.
Both hair transplant is performed under local anesthesia and it takes around 5 to 8 hours so there is no need to stay at the hospital.
