FUE : Follicular Unit Extraction : technique is the latest and most advanced technique used for Hair Transplant by surgeons worldwide.
FUE is considered to be a procedure than a surgery due to its less invasive nature. Someone with thinning hair or balding who still has enough hair in donor area is an ideal candidate for a FUE hair transplant. The entire procedure is done under local anesthesia and is virtually painless. The procedure may take between 4-8 hours depending on the number of grafts to be implanted. Since it is a simple procedure, one can get back to his or her work from the very next day after the FUE Hair Transplant.
Direct Hair Transplant is a modified version of FUE Technique.
The main difference between DHT and FUE is that in DHT, the extraction of grafts is done right before the implantation. It makes the out of body time of graft almost nil which results increased survival rate of grafts. Each hair graft is extracted and immediately implanted in the scalp. This technique needs more surgical hands and takes more time than the FUE technique.
Sapphire Technique Hair Transplant is the advanced version of the popular FUE and DHT Techniques.
While in the latter procedures, the recipient area’s incisions are created using steel blades, while in the Sapphire Technique Hair transplant, the incisions are done using premium sapphire blades. A sapphire blade’s capacity to make smaller, and accurate channels results in more natural looking results than what is possible with a regular Techniques.
Due to the high level of precision and competence required for the Sapphire Hair Transplant, not all doctors are qualified to use Sapphire blades. It is more expensive than the regular techniques because it requires better skills and the cost of Sapphire blades is higher than the regular blade.
