In the world's leading clinics that specialize in hair transplantation for women, the following types of procedures are available:
Hair transplant without shaving - DHI (Direct Hair Transplant - direct hair transplant)
This is the most modern method that is used for hair transplantation for women. The advantage of DHI is that it does not require shaving the hair in the transplant area. Thanks to this, no one around you will notice that you underwent a transplant.
Grafts (groups of 1-4 follicles) are taken by a specialist with a special thin tube - punch. He performs implantation using Choi Implanter Pen. This is a tool that, according to the principle of operation, resembles an automatic writing pen: the doctor places follicles in it and, by pressing a button, introduces them into the skin.
Seamless hair transplant method - FUE (Follicular unit extraction - extraction of the follicular unit)
This technique is rarely resorted to, since it requires shaving off the hair in the area of \u200b\u200bloss. The procedure is suitable if you need to restore hair growth in a small area or you do not intend to hide that you have undergone transplantation.
Doctors perform a seamless hair transplant using a special rotating stamp (FUE machin), which removes the grafts. After that, the doctor makes micro-incisions or punctures and implants the follicles into them with the help of tweezers.
In some centers, a new type of sutureless transplantation is available - Sapphire FUE . During this procedure, the doctor makes incisions on the thinned area with an ultra-thin scalpel with a sapphire tip. It allows for smaller punctures, so recovery is faster than traditional FUE. The result of such an intervention is more natural, since doctors can plant the area more densely and it is easier for them to set the hairs in the right direction.
The strip method (FUT patchwork hair transplant) is no longer used by leading clinics in the world, since the procedure is traumatic and leaves a scar on the donor area.
