Purpose
Hair
Restoration. Surgical
correction of hairless
areas, or the enhancement of
thinning areas within the
scalp.
Methods
and procedures
Cold
Steel Method: Surgery for hair transplantation (also: Hair
Replacement) begins with the
preparation, dissection and
removal of the donor grafts
at the back of the
patient’s head. The donor
grafts are smallest groups
of hair follicles with 1-6
hair each (micro grafts with
1-3 hairs or mini grafts
with 3-6 hairs). The grafts
are then re-implanted into
the hairless area.
Hair
Transplantation with
CO2-Laser:
For
the re-implantation of the
grafts is used the CO2
Surgical Laser.
Tissue
Engineering, [Hair Follicle
Multiplication]:
Hair
Follicle multiplication [mistakenly
also called cloning] is an exciting concept
that is still in the early development
stage, and a not yet scientifically
accepted/approved procedure by the
International Society of Hair
Restoration Surgery [ISHRS].
Ultracut
Hair Transplantation:
This
technology comes from
Coherent in California with
the Ultracut System. Any risk of
necrosis is avoided and the hairs are
implanted in the natural
position/inclination with this unique
technology. Read more on
the
Aesthetia
Website.
Follicular
Unit Extraction Transplantation
is
among
the latest developments in the field
of hair transplantation.
The follicles are taken one by one
directly from the back of the head and
transplanted into the area to be
treated. No donor strip has to be
taken from the head and no scar is
left, than with other methods. It is
possible to selectively transplant
bigger follicles with 3-5 hairs for a
better covering or finer follicles of
1-3 hairs can be used on still hairy
areas just to get back to the natural
hair density.
Note:
"Follicular Unit
Transplantation" is a more
general term often used for different
versions of hair transplantation and
should not be confused with the
"Follicular Unit EXTRACTION Hair
Transplantation" !
Anesthesia
Local
anesthesia
Hospital
stay
Ambulatory.
The patient can leave the
hospital after 2-5 hours.
With older methods with
lower success rate usually a
second session is required. With use of Ultracut
or Follicular Unit
Extraction Hair
Transplantation usually for
a medium sized area one session is
sufficient.
Healing
duration
Post-operative
medication for one day.
Removal of the bandage after
2-3 days. Slight skin
swelling and skin redness
for several days. The slight
incrustation at the treated
area disappears within 10-14
days. The transplanted hair
regenerates within 2-3
months.
In the case of the follicular unit
hair transplantation no bandage is
applied. The patient is ready to leave
for home on the day after the
treatment.
Longevity
of
the Hair Restoration by
means of Hair Transplant:
The final result is always
permanent. The durability is
determined by the quality of
the procedure as well by the
quality of the transplanted
hair.
