FUE
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are taken from a donor area, typically the sides and back of the head, and transplanted to thinning regions like the hairline or crown. This method ensures that donor areas are not over-harvested or left uneven. FUE is minimally invasive and, when performed correctly, yields fuller, thicker, and natural-looking results that are intended to last a lifetime. The procedure is known for its lack of visible scarring and quick recovery time, making it a highly regarded hair transplant method.
During the process, individual follicles are removed under local anaesthesia. The extraction procedure utilises a micro surgical extraction instrument, between 0.6mm and 1.0mm in diameter, to remove the follicles with only minimal trauma. Follicles are then re-implanted into the areas strategically, paying attention to angles, hairline designs and directions to achieve the desired patient results. To ensure natural results, the surgical team pays special attention to area, directions, and density throughout the process.
When done correctly, the area will not have any further need for transplants. This necessitates a high skill level, patience, and a desire to do great work. It is normal to experience very mild discomfort until the anaesthesia takes effect during the procedure and numbs the scalp. This advanced technology allows the anaesthetist to numb the scalp before any injections, ensuring that you do not feel any further discomfort and that your scalp is fully numb before the hair transplant begins
Areas
HAIRLINE
Hairline transplantation focuses on restoring a receding hairline by moving hair follicles from a dense area (usually the back or sides of the head) to the front. This procedure helps create a natural-looking hairline, improving facial aesthetics and boosting confidence.
CROWN
Crown hair transplantation targets the vertex or crown area of the scalp, which often experiences thinning or baldness in a circular pattern. This procedure involves transplanting hair follicles to the crown, following the natural swirl pattern to ensure a natural appearance.
FULL HEAD
A full head hair transplant aims to cover extensive areas of hair loss across the entire scalp. This involves transplanting a high density of hair grafts to achieve a fuller look. It is ideal for individuals with significant hair loss who desire comprehensive coverage.
BEARD
Beard transplantation involves harvesting hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back of the head) and implanting them into the beard area. This procedure helps create a thicker, fuller beard, correcting patchy growth or enhancing facial hair density.
EYEBROWS
Eyebrow transplantation is a cosmetic procedure where hair grafts are taken from the scalp and transplanted to the eyebrow area. This helps fill in sparse or thin eyebrows, creating a fuller and more defined look. The transplanted hairs grow naturally, reducing the need for makeup.
FOREHEAD LOWERING
Forehead lowering, also known as hairline lowering or scalp advancement, involves moving the hairline forward to reduce the height of the forehead. This surgical procedure can create more balanced facial proportions and a fuller hairline, often combined with hair transplants for optimal results
DENSITY BOOST
Density boost hair transplantation focuses on increasing the thickness and density of hair in areas where it has thinned. This involves implanting hair grafts at a high density to create the illusion of thicker hair, enhancing overall hair volume and appearance.
Options
NO SHAVE OPTION
Have you thought about getting a hair transplant but are concerned about the downtime and the need for a much shorter haircut or “buzzcut” associated with minimally invasive FUE procedures? Imagine being able to see the results of your hair transplant immediately after the procedure, with an instant “preview” that helps camouflage the healing process.
This innovative NO-SHAVE minimally invasive hair transplant procedure offers all the benefits of traditional minimally invasive FUE, such as no staples, no stitches, no linear scar, and a more comfortable and less restricted recovery compared to the outdated invasive linear FUT “strip” harvesting. It is the only transplant method that does not require any trimming or shaving of the donor area, meaning there is no dramatic change in your hairstyle with the VIP|FUE hair transplant. Additionally, the No Shave FUE technique provides the unique advantage of a “Long-Hair Preview,” allowing you to see the results of your transplant immediately after the procedure, making it the ultimate experience in minimally invasive hair transplantation.
With the addition of a state-of-the-art extraction tool and advanced microsurgical techniques, the surgical team can now extract hair follicles directly from the donor area without trimming or shaving. This is a significant benefit for patients who want to discreetly treat their hair loss without changing their hairstyle. Suitable for both men and women, the No Shave FUE technique, combined with renowned artistic skill, ensures that both the process and the results of your hair transplant remain undetectably natural.
Everything you need to know about our Hair Transplants
Creating a natural undetectable hairline is the most noticeable and important part of a good hair restoration surgery. It’s either a dead giveaway to bad hair transplant or a work of art that sells the restoration as a beautiful, natural thick head of hair. As such, it remains crucial to ensure suitable skill & experience is employed, together with selection of the most suited method per each patient profile. Finally, the housing of the graphs before re-implanting them is a step often overlooked due to its cost and time implications.
We incorporate Bio Ultrasonic Ozon therapy. Bio Ultrasonic Ozon therapy is the application of an active oxygen molecule containing ozone together with a formulation of essential vitamins such as Biotin-E-B1-B2-B3-B5-B6-B7-B12 which are vital for hair grafts at their early stages of settling in the scalp through evaporation process with the help of an Ultrasonic device to the hair grafts extracted from the donor area.
The Maximus FUE technique is an advanced, virtually pain-free hair transplant method inspired by the Vitruvian Man. It emphasizes maximum graft survival, high regrowth and density, and minimal transgression rates, combining Swiss medical technology with American standards.
In natural hair growth, follicular units align horizontally or perpendicularly to the hair’s direction. This arrangement, where follicles lie side by side rather than behind one another, results in thicker hair as the hair behind supports it. This random pattern prevents light from shining through the scalp, as it is blocked by the hair behind it.
The key to successful graft placement is matching the angle of the grafts to the natural hair. This is achieved by creating slits at the correct angle, allowing the graft to follow. Unlike vertical slits, which can vary from 90 to 10 degrees, horizontal or lateral slits ensure that grafts grow at the precise angle of the blade’s insertion. This precise angling results in natural-looking hair growth, with the new hair growing in the same orientation as natural hair.
The Maximus technique involves densely packing the patient’s follicles, leading to faster healing times and unrivalled density. Surface-level scabs fall off within days. Although dense packing requires more time and care, the results are worth the effort. The blades used are narrower, typically 0.7mm for single hair follicular grafts and 0.9mm for multi-hair follicular grafts. These measurements are tested under magnification for exact precision, unlike other offices that use 1.5mm to 2.0mm blades for easier and quicker graft placement.
Choosing to undergo a hair transplant is a long-term decision with lifelong consequences. To ensure optimal results, the donor area is thoroughly analysed, checking the number and characteristics of hairs. The number of donor hairs can vary from 4,000 to 9,000 follicular units, influencing the post-treatment appearance in terms of colour, curliness, growth direction, and hair diameter. Additionally, the extent of the area affected by hair loss and potential future hair loss must be assessed. Each patient is unique, with varying age, hair loss intensity, hereditary factors, and other considerations. Therefore, a personalized diagnosis and treatment plan is essential. Accurate determination of donor and recipient areas is a crucial part of the consultation, allowing for a precise assessment of the hair transplant’s potential.
Every patient has unique circumstances and expectations regarding a hair transplant. Some patients may simply want to make their hair loss less noticeable, while others may have different goals. Understanding and addressing these individual expectations is a key part of the treatment process.
Hair transplantation operation success rate, the lifetime of the hair grafts in the external environment and hair retention rate all significantly increased thanks to this method. The retention rate is 98%-99% which is a huge increase compared to the regular FUE method where the retention rate is around 80%-85%
