The Science of Hair Transplantation
Hair transplantation is a revolutionary procedure that harnesses the power of your own natural hair to restore growth in balding or thinning areas.
By relocating healthy hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back or sides of the scalp) to the affected areas, we can create a seamless, natural-looking result that lasts a lifetime.
At MAXIM Hair Restoration, we specialize in two primary hair transplant techniques:
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
FUE is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique that has gained popularity for its precision and natural-looking results. During an FUE procedure, individual follicular units are extracted one by one from the donor area using a specialized punch tool. These grafts are then meticulously transplanted into the recipient area, creating a natural-looking hairline and density that blends seamlessly with your existing hair.
Benefits of FUE:
- Minimally invasive procedure with faster recovery times
- No linear scar in the donor area
- Ability to extract grafts from other body areas, such as the chest or beard, for patients with limited scalp donor hair
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT):
FUT is a time-tested hair transplant technique that has helped countless patients achieve their hair restoration goals. During this procedure, a strip of skin containing healthy hair follicles is removed from the donor area and carefully dissected under a microscope to separate the individual follicular unit grafts. These grafts are then strategically transplanted into the balding or thinning areas, creating a natural-looking hairline and density.
Benefits of FUT:
- Allows for a large number of grafts to be transplanted in a single session
- Proven track record of long-term success and high graft survival rates
- Ideal for patients with extensive hair loss or limited donor hair
