Hair Transplantation Process
The AdGroHair percutaneous FUE hair transplant is carried out in the following stages:
EXTRACTING THE GRAFTS
At this stage, the follicles will be extracted from the backside of the head (called the donor area). The advantage of this area is that it is not affected by the hormone responsible for hair loss in the rest of the head. Now, let’s see some technical considerations when using the AdGroHair percutaneous FUE technique.
The excision stage begins with using local anesthesia in the posterior region of the head, which is the hair bank; the procedure continues for 5 minutes and there is only a slight pain due to the use of needles. This process is performed with an extractor that produces micro holes (0.7-0.8 mm), which is the main advantage of the FUE method, as it produces very small and invisible holes. These quickly heal the next day without leaving any disturbing effects.
At this stage, the client is lying on their face on a special bed to perform the hair transplant, but without feeling any pain. This stage takes 2 – 2.5 hours, depending on the number of grafts to be picked up. After the extraction, the area is sterilized and covered.
The number of follicles that can be obtained is proportional to the intensity of the hair bank (donor area). The more plentiful the donor area is, the bigger the number of follicles extracted. At the end of this stage, we obtain the bulbs required for the hair transplantation process and it´s determined if they are single, double, or triple; then the follicles are placed in a nutritious solution to keep them in the appropriate environment until they are implanted.
