HAIR TRANSPLANTATION

Hair transplantation with the FUE method

FUE hair transplantation method is a manual medical procedure in which hair follicles are removed from the donor area – the back of the head, and transplanted into the areas that need to be thickened. This method of hair transplantation is widely used in the world to restore hair thickness and hairline, as well as to restore eyebrow thickness and to make corrections to beard and moustache areas. Hair transplantation is performed for both men and women, ensuring a high-quality visible, natural and reliable hair restoration result.

Hair transplant procedure

The manual FUE method (follicular unit extraction, explained as “removal of groups of hair follicles one by one”) is the most popular and newest in the world. During the procedure, with the help of a special micro-instrument, grafts (sets of hair follicles) are removed from the donor area – the lower part of patients back of the head. These grafts are then transplanted to the areas where it is needed – the transplant area. One hair graft can contain up to 3 or 4 hair follicles. Hair grafts are transplanted undivided as they are in the patient’s donor area to ensure natural hair fullness and density. Hair transplantation is performed using local anaesthesia and is a painless, scarless and sutureless procedure.

The process of hair transplantation takes place in four parts – first, the grafts are prepared for extraction and incisions are made around the hair follicles, next is the extraction of the follicle units, harvesting of the grafts, preparation for transplantation and finally the transplantation of the hair follicles.

During the procedure, the patient is awake, can read, watch TV or phone. After the operation, the patient returns to their daily life the very next day. Transplanted hair is not prone to shedding and the result is permanent for life.

What should be observed before hair transplant surgery?

Before the hair transplant operation in the morning, you should not use alcohol, aspirin-containing medicines, spicy foods such as chilli, garlic. It is recommended to refrain from coffee and fresh juices. The use of such products affects the speed of blood clotting. This can cause complications during the procedure.

Recovery period

After surgery, the pain is minimal and scars are almost invisible. The average recovery time is less than 7 days and the first results of hair growth are visible after 3-4 months, when the hair follicles enter a new phase of hair growth. As the new hair grows, it will push out the old ones – the ones transplanted. By falling out they will make room for the new hair to grow. The appearance of thickness and fullness will continue to develop and the final results of the hair transplant are visible within 12-18 months after the procedure. It is possible to return to daily activities after 24 hours. With the help of a hair transplant, it is possible to treat baldness, treat hair loss, restore the hairline, cover scars or injuries, and get thick and beautiful hair.
In the process of treating alopecia and hair loss, it is also possible to perform genetic tests. In this way, modern genetic testing capabilities are combined with specialist expertise in hair loss treatment, creating a revolutionary approach to solving hair loss problems.

Hair treatment with PRP plasma injections

PRP plasma therapy is an effective treatment method that treats hair loss in women and men. Using the regenerative properties of blood platelet, hair growth is stimulated and strengthened. The essence of the procedure is plasma injections, which consist of the unique composition of the patient’s own blood.

Blood is taken from the patient’s vein, which is then placed in a special apparatus – a centrifuge, which separates the plasma part of the blood together with platelets. These plasma platelets are activated during centrifugation and the active substance – growth factor is released. These growth factors stimulate the body’s own ability to produce collagen, which is responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin. Body tissue cells are able to produce special substances – growth factors, vitamins, amino acids, proteins and other biologically active substances that stimulate cell regeneration and are able to naturally increase the amount of collagen.

When do specialists recommend PRP plasma injections?

• In cases of increased hair loss in women.
• In cases of increased hair loss in men.
• In cases of alopecia.
• If the hair is weak, damaged, brittle.
• If the hair is thin.
• In cases of dandruff, seborrhea, oily scalp.
• As additional therapy after hair transplantation.
• If the hair is damaged by chemistry, colouring, straightening.

Results from PRP plasma injections

• It stops the dying process of hair follicles.
• Hair loss decreases (effectiveness in more than 70% of cases).
• Hair follicles are strengthened (hair begins to grow more intensively after 2-3 procedures).
• Stimulation of new hair growth (new hair grows strong and healthy).
• Hair becomes strong and flexible, hair fragility and splitting are reduced.
• The thickness, density and diameter of the hair increases.
• Dandruff disappears, metabolism normalises.
• Hair regenerates and acquires a natural shine.
• Long-lasting hair regeneration effect.
