Everyone, regardless of their age, wishes to look their best. Whatever you call it, modern lifestyle or increased pollution, we see that people are losing their hair faster at younger ages. Even you can see people around you who have receded hairlines or bald spots in their 30s. Fortunately, modern and less complicated methods such as micrograft hair transplantation have been invented today, which is an advanced type of the former hair transplantation method and, in other words, the newest method of hair transplantation in the UAE.
Although there have been various solutions for the past several decades, mainly aimed at covering bald spots using wigs or artificial hair extensions, as medical science advances, the focus is not only on covering the hairline but also on new hair growth. Therefore, hair transplantation is good news for those who are looking for a solution to their hair loss.
In the meantime, the micrograft method of hair transplantation, when performed by a skilled and experienced doctor, looks completely natural, and within a few months, you will see the growth of your transplanted hair, and the best part of this hair restoration method, as we said, is its natural look, and no one will be able to tell that you’ve had a hair transplant at all. In this article, we will introduce one of the most popular and up-to-date methods in UAE, Micrograft hair transplantation, which was performed for the first time in the Helia Dermatology Clinic.
What Is Meant by Micrograft Hair Transplant?
The Micrograft hair transplant method is one of the newest and best transplant methods in UAE, which was performed for the first time in this country by Dr. Hamidreza Khorasani at Helia Dermatology Clinic, which treats hair loss. The principles of this method are based on extracting the hair strands and surrounding skin tissue and transplanting them into the hairless areas, and since all the stages of extraction and transplantation are done without the intervention of hands and with the help of electric tools, therefore, the least amount of pain, injury and bleeding there will be and the highest accuracy and elegance will be achieved.
Since all the steps are done automatically, there is less damage to the surrounding tissues and also to the grafts during extraction, and for this reason, the amount of human error is greatly reduced, and on the other hand, the results of implantation appear very natural and, of course, more successful than other methods.
That is why, to achieve the highest density for hair transplant surgery, doctors and beauty experts use the new method of hair transplantation which is micrograft. Because according to the experience of the applicants, all the follicles implanted with this technique are not destroyed and grow.
What Are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Hair Transplantation by Micrograft Method?
Of course, each method has some advantages and disadvantages, and according to the increasing progress of technology, the amount of disadvantages of hair transplant methods is gradually reduced, and according to the emergence of new hair transplant methods, the amount of advantages of new methods is increased. Although there are usually similar advantages and disadvantages in all techniques that are performed with automatic punching, micrograft hair transplantation offers the best results with less injury, pain, and side effects.
And if we want to point out the most important features of this hair transplant technique, it is better to state the following:
In the micrograft method of hair transplantation, because the distance between the grafts can be reduced, a high density of hair can be placed at small distances. In addition, since in the micrograft technique, as the name suggests, hair transplantation is done in mini and micro sizes, so the number of healthy grafts that are extracted increases and the distances between the grafts are greatly reduced, and for this reason, the density of the transplanted hair is high.
Due to the lack of strip cutting and only the extraction of micro-sized hairs one by one, the number of wounds caused by them and the time required for healing will be much less, and the possibility of infection or the loss of implanted grafts is very less.
Since in hair transplantation by micrograft method, special devices are used to extract and implant hair follicles, the speed of operation in this method of hair transplantation is high, and in a short period of time, a large number of grafts can be planted in one session.
Due to the lack of direct involvement of hands in the extraction of grafts in this method, as well as the use of modern techniques for preserving and maintaining the extracted follicles and also, the higher speed, the quality of the grafts and the results of their implantation are higher than other methods. In the new micrograft hair transplant method, as high-precision devices are used, the growth direction of the transplanted hair is better and each one does not grow in a different direction.
About the disadvantages of this method, it is also not bad to know that very minor and common side effects such as mild pain at the implant area, itching, tingling, bruising, or slight swelling have been reported, which over time and by following the health and care recommendations of the doctor will be resolved in the shortest possible time.
How Is Micrograft Hair Transplantation Done?
It can be said that all hair transplant methods follow the same principles and processes, such as extracting and transplanting hair. But what tools or techniques are used in each stage is different. In the stage of hair extraction, after the anesthesia of the donor area, by using automatic micromotors for hair transplantation by micrograft method, micron-sized grafts are extracted with high precision and delicacy. During this process, you may only experience mild pain, which of course varies from person to person and can be controlled using the doctor’s advice.
Sometimes it may be necessary to remove a combined micrograft from the hair donor area due to the excessive baldness of the transplant applicant, which uses Scarlett Trichophyte Plastic Surgery to remove the hair flap.
In the preparation stage, in order to strengthen the hair follicles in the future, they are kept in the stem cells extracted from the person himself, then they are ready to be arranged in special hair transplant devices. Finally, with the help of a micro-implanter device, grafts are implanted in the bald areas.
Care Before and After the Micrograft Hair Transplant Method
Taking care before and after micrograft hair transplantation is one of the necessities that will directly affect your beauty technique. So, if you want to use the micrograft hair transplant method, consider the following:
- The use of any aspirin, Advil, anti-inflammatory or painkillers, vitamin B and E, blood thinners and herbal medicines, cortisone creams, or any steroids is prohibited for about 10 days before the implantation, because it may increase the risk of bleeding.
- Naturally, alcohol consumption, smoking, and excessive caffeine consumption are also prohibited during this period.
- Stay away from stress, have enough sleep and a balanced diet.
- Be sure to take the medicines prescribed by the doctor and, if allowed by the doctor, the medicines related to other diseases such as diabetes.
- Avoid exercising, running, jogging or doing any vigorous activity.
Regarding care after hair transplantation, it is also necessary to observe the following:
- Take painkillers, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory pills prescribed by the doctor regularly.
- Avoid contact with the implantation site as well as the hair extraction site.
- Two days after the operation, you should take a bath and clean the donor area, but be careful not to rub the area and use a soft towel to dry it.
- After the second day, the person should wash the recipient area twice daily using an antimicrobial shampoo and conditioner recommended by the doctor. This is an important step in hair transplant care and ensures that the scalp peeling is resolved and does not cause any infection.
- Sports and heavy physical activities, consumption of alcohol, smoking and painkillers are prohibited after hair transplant for at least one month.
- Keep the head in a high position while sleeping. For this, you can put several pillows or a towel under your head.
- Avoid swimming, going to the sauna and Jacuzzi, as well as being exposed to heat and sun.
Final Results After the Micrograft Hair Transplant Method
Achieving the final result of micrograft hair transplant, like other techniques, requires time, and it is not like this technique has many advantages over other techniques, so the results will be visible immediately. Usually, the hairs in the implanted hair follicles fall out immediately after implantation, and you will see new hair growing from the transplanted follicles only 3-4 months after the transplant, and the reason for this is that in the hair implant, the follicles usually enter the resting phase or telogen so that they can be adapted with the blood supply system and then resume their growth and the hair growth process continues until the next 5 years when the hairs enter the resting phase again. Finally, you can see the final and natural results of your hair growth after one year of hair transplantation by the micrograft method.
The cost of the micrograft hair transplant method depends on what factors?
The cost of the micrograft method of hair transplantation, like other hair transplant techniques, depends on various factors, one of which is the extent of the part of the head where the hair is to be transplanted, and therefore the number of grafts required for hair transplantation. Of course, some conditions of the patient himself, the experience and skill of the doctor and the selected clinic are also effective in determining the final price of the micrograft hair transplant method.
Among the factors affecting the price of hair implants, the following can be mentioned:
Geographical area and the services that can be provided in your chosen clinic: the higher the area and the more advanced the facilities, the higher the cost of the clinic.
Surgeon’s salary: Of course, well-known and specialized doctors with high experience and skill will receive a higher fee than ordinary doctors with little experience.
The condition of the individual hair bank: the more suitable it is, the less time and energy it takes from the doctor and his staff, and therefore the lower will be the price.
The extent of baldness and the number of grafts needed to cover it: the balder a person is, the more grafts he needs, so the cost will be higher.
The micrograft technique also has a relatively higher cost compared to other methods due to its high accuracy and delicacy, as well as the use of electronic tools and performing all steps automatically, but if you choose a well-known and skilled doctor, it is definitely worth the cost. because the result of planting will be excellent.
What is the difference between the micrograft method and other methods?
If we want to mention the difference between hair transplantation by micrograft method and other methods, the first and most important one is the non-interference of hands in each of the stages of extracting and transplanting hair, which has greatly reduced the amount of human error and increased the positive result and efficiency.
The micrograft method is one of the newest methods of hair transplantation. It provides the possibility of providing high-density hair transplantation because the intervals between the extracted and implanted grafts are very small due to the use of micro-sized devices.
Not leaving a scar line, not having a very long recovery period, doing it without any kind of pain and bleeding, and finishing it in just one session are some of the advantages of this method over other techniques.
Micrograft, the Newest Method of Hair Transplantation
Several hair transplant methods have been invented in the past, each of which has some advantages and disadvantages, but with the progress of science, this method is definitely moving in the direction of having the least amount of side effects and the most efficiency. Micrograft hair transplantation is one of the modern techniques in which electronic and automatic instruments are used to extract or plant hair in the bald area, hence the number of complications, including the creation of deep wounds for extracting grafts or planting them in the bald area has been reduced and on the other hand, the success rate has increased due to not using hands in this process.
Whether this technique is suitable for the client or the best choice or not is up to the person’s own decision and the doctor’s discretion. After conducting the necessary examinations and checking the hair bank and the general health of the person, the doctor will choose whether to use this technique for hair transplantation or not.
