The Benefits of Hair Transplantation
Hair transplantation offers numerous benefits for individuals seeking a permanent solution to hair loss:
- Natural-looking results: Hair transplants use your own hair, ensuring a seamless blend with your existing hair.
- Permanent solution: Transplanted hair follicles continue to grow naturally, providing a long-lasting solution to hair loss.
- Improved self-confidence: Restoring your hair can significantly boost your self-esteem and overall confidence.
- Versatility: Hair transplants can address various types of hair loss, including male and female pattern baldness, as well as hair loss due to injury or scarring.
- Minimal downtime: Most patients can return to their daily activities within a few days of the procedure.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) at MAXIM Hair Restoration
FUT, or the strip method, is a tried-and-true hair transplantation technique that has helped countless individuals achieve fuller, thicker hair. At MAXIM Hair Restoration, our skilled surgeons perform FUT with precision and artistry to ensure optimal results.
The FUT procedure involves the following steps:
- A thin strip of hair-bearing skin is removed from the back of the scalp.
- The strip is carefully dissected into individual follicular units under a microscope.
- The recipient sites are created in the balding or thinning areas using fine needles.
- The follicular units are meticulously transplanted into the recipient sites, creating a natural-looking hairline and increasing hair density.
FUT allows for the transplantation of a large number of grafts in a single session, making it an efficient option for those with extensive hair loss. While FUT does result in a linear scar at the donor site, this scar is easily concealed by the surrounding hair.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) with the European WAW FUE System
FUE has gained popularity in recent years due to its minimally invasive nature and ability to achieve natural-looking results with minimal scarring. At MAXIM Hair Restoration, we utilize the advanced European WAW FUE System to ensure the highest quality grafts and optimal graft survival.
The FUE procedure involves the following steps:
- Individual hair follicles are extracted directly from the donor area using a specialized punch tool.
- The extracted follicles are carefully sorted and prepared for transplantation.
- The recipient sites are created in the balding or thinning areas using fine needles.
- The individual follicles are transplanted into the recipient sites, creating a natural-looking hairline and increasing hair density.
FUE allows for greater precision in graft placement and leaves only tiny, barely noticeable scars at the donor site. This technique is ideal for patients who prefer to wear their hair short or those who want to avoid a linear scar.
