Hair transplant:how does it work?

What are the methods used for hair transplantation?

Before considering a hair transplant to regain hair worthy of the name, it is important to have knowledge of the different methods used by surgeons. We find the following processes:

• The FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) method :this is the direct extraction of follicular units. The follicles are then removed using a small circular punch. The surgeon then makes incisions in the recipient area before placing the grafts there. . The advantage of this method is that it leaves no scars , a point on which patients are increasingly demanding. Doctor Cinik also uses the Saphir FUE method, an innovation which consists of the use of sapphire blades and which allows even more precise work on the scalp .
• The DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) method :this is an advanced and non-invasive form of FUE. Using a special pin, the individual grafts are removed from the donor area located at the back of the head. They are then implanted in the recipient area allowing the surgeon to better control the angle, depth and direction of implantation of the hair follicles. This method also leaves no scars and offers a natural and dense result.

Know that for all people who are afraid of needles and pain, it is also possible to perform needle-free anesthesia , a method used in the context of a DHI or an advanced FUE. During the entire procedure, the patient then feels neither the discomfort nor the apprehension caused by the use of a needle.
