Hair Cloning
Hair cloning is an emerging technique in hair restoration that aims to multiply hair follicle cells in a laboratory before reimplanting them into the scalp. Unlike traditional hair transplants, which redistribute existing hair, cloning has the potential to create an unlimited number of new hair follicles. The process involves extracting dermal papilla cells from a […]
Hair Flaps
Hair flap surgery is an older hair restoration technique that involves lifting a strip of hair-bearing scalp, rotating it, and placing it into a bald area while simultaneously removing the balding skin. This method was developed before the advancement of modern hair transplant procedures like FUE and FUT. Hair flaps were primarily used to create […]
Hair Follicle
A hair follicle is a small, tube-like structure embedded in the scalp that produces and grows individual strands of hair. It consists of several key components, including the bulb (where hair growth begins), the sebaceous gland (which produces natural oils to keep hair hydrated), and the dermal papilla (which supplies nutrients to the follicle). Hair […]
Hair Grafts
A hair graft refers to a small unit of hair-bearing skin taken from the donor area—typically the back or sides of the scalp—for transplantation into a balding or thinning area. Each graft contains one to four hair follicles, depending on the extraction method used. There are two main ways to harvest hair grafts: Follicular Unit […]
Hair Growth Stages
Understanding the Phases of Hair Growth Hair growth occurs in a cycle consisting of three main stages: anagen, catagen, and telogen. Understanding these stages is key to diagnosing and treating hair loss. The Three Stages Anagen (Growth Phase): Active hair growth, lasting 2-7 years. Catagen (Transition Phase): The follicle shrinks, lasting 2-3 weeks. Telogen (Resting […]
Hair Transplantation
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves the extraction of hair follicles from a designated donor site, followed by their subsequent transplantation into a recipient site, typically targeting regions characterized by hair thinning or absence.
Post-Op Care
Ensuring Long-Term Success Post-operative care is essential for protecting grafts and optimizing the results of a hair transplant. Following proper instructions minimizes complications and enhances graft survival. Critical Elements of Care Gentle Washing: Avoid aggressive washing to protect grafts. Sleeping Position: Elevate the head to reduce swelling. Avoiding Direct Sunlight: Protects healing grafts from damage. […]
Regenera Activa
A Revolutionary Non-Surgical Treatment Regenera Activa is a cutting-edge regenerative therapy used to combat hair thinning and promote natural regrowth. It utilizes micrografts containing stem cells to stimulate the scalp’s regenerative processes. How It Works A small sample of tissue is extracted from the patient’s scalp, processed, and injected into areas experiencing thinning. The micrografts […]
Sapphire Blade
A Modern Innovation in Hair Transplants The sapphire blade is an advanced tool used to create precise incisions during hair transplantation. Made from durable sapphire crystal, it offers greater accuracy and less tissue trauma compared to traditional steel blades. Why Sapphire Blades Matter Sapphire blades create V-shaped incisions that are smaller and cleaner, allowing for […]
Sedation
Ensuring Comfort During Hair Transplants Sedation is used in hair transplantation to help patients remain calm and comfortable throughout the procedure. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who experience anxiety or discomfort during medical treatments. Types of Sedation Local Anesthesia with Sedatives: Most commonly used. Oral or IV Sedation: Administered based on patient needs. Benefits […]
