FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT
Hair transplants have a lengthy history, but it wasn’t until the mid-1990s that they were perfected using techniques that are still used today all around the world.
Hair transplants using the FUT technique were phased out in the 1990s in favor of the FUE method, which was developed in the early 2000s and released in 2005.
Although the technology has been improved over time, the fundamental principles of FUE remain the same. The method is still regarded the gold standard of hair transplant surgery today. The FUE technique is the most advanced in hair transplantation. People who have lost their hair can now regain a natural appearance using the FUE method.
The main advantage of the FUE procedure for hair transplantation is that it leaves no scars and heals faster. The success of the surgeries has also grown as medical devices used in the FUE technique have advanced.
The FUE technique can be performed with a variety of different medical instruments. As a result, it is known by some different names, such as:
- Classic FUE (via micro motor)
- Robotized FUE
- DHI Technique (FUE carried out with Choi Implanters)
- Sapphire FUE (FUE carried out with Sapphire Blades)
FUE hair transplants with sapphire blades, a newer technology, produce the best outcomes.
In general, this occurs because incisions made using scalpels equipped with sapphire crystal blades heal faster and leave only a scarcely noticeable scar.
