Frequently Asked Question

F.U.E. technique

AUTOLOGOUS TRANSPLANT - A SIMPLE PRINCIPLE

This technique transplants samples of hair genetically programmed not to fall from a donor site (generally the back of the head) to the balding recipient site (generally the areas around the temples and the top of the head). There the transplants retain permanently the growth characterstics that they had at the donor site. Since the donor and the recipient are the same person, there is no risk of rejection.
The process is thus just a straightforward hair redistribution. The doctor will have a short-and long-term operating strategy designed to optimize the transplant as far as possible, based on the condition of the hair and the age of the transplant patient.

THE F.U.E TECHNIQUE - FOLLICULAR-UNIT EXTRACTION

Over the last few years, the technique of Follicular Unit Extraction (F.U.E.), or follicular-unit transplant (a follicular unit is a set of between 1 and 4 live hairs) has been adopted by increasing numbers of hair transplant specialists, since the hair density it produces is completely natural and in keeping with the rest of the hair. Above all, it has significant advantages over other transplantation techniques : no stitches, no scarring, no risk of infection or complications, and little if any post-operative pain. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the operation.

ADVANTAGES OF THE AUTOMATED TECHNIQUE

Less operating time
No Scar, No Stitches
Less Post operative pain
Excellent quality hair graft with higher success rate.

THE F.U.E TECHNIQUE - AUTOMATED

The french company medicamat, in collaboration with leading international specialists in hair transplant, has developed and patented a new piece of medical equipment, the punch hair Matic, based on an electrically-controlled flow of compressed air. This retains all the advantages of the F.U.E technique as practised manually, but removes its two main disadvantages for both the patient and the practitioner.

The automated Punch Hair Matic helps the practitioner optimize the quality and speed of his movements during the two most important stages in the micro-transplant : When taking micro-grafts. The practitioner uses a circular scalpel with a diameter of between 0.8 and 1.4 mm, the value selected based on various criteria such as the patient's age, skin type and hair quality in the donor area, etc. When the grafts are being re-implanted in the recipient area.

EXAMPLES OF MICRO TRANSPLANTS

Roughly 1,000 to 3,000 hairs Can be transplanted in 1 session

During the operation, you will be lying down comforably and may talk to the practitioner, listen to music, read or even watch a film. It is not a stressful operation. Lastly, do not be too impatient. As with any hair transplant procedure, the final apperance is only truly successful aesthetically after 5 or 6 months.
