Hair transplantation operation is a non-surgical procedure, in which hair follicles are transferred from the donor area, i.e. the back of the scalp, to the receiving area; i.e. the bald areas to be treated.
With this technology, the follicles are picked out from the donor area via the Micro Motor and transplanted into the receiving area by opening fine channels in the bald areas with precise medical forceps. The operation takes around (6-8) hours, transplanting up to (4000) follicles.
Mega FUE is undergone over two sessions during two consecutive days, transplanting a maximum of (8000) follicles, and giving the hair more density.(Ultimate FUE)
Ultimate FUE differs from FUE in terms of the medical scalpel which is made of fine blue sapphire that prevents damage to the scalp during the picking process.
The doctor opens channels in the areas of baldness that are due to being treated with Choi Pen Implanters, then he implants the extracted follicles which are up to
(3500). He does all this simultaneously with one click.
The whole process takes around (6-8) hours.
(Mega DHI) technology technique is performed over two
sessions during two consecutive days, using the Choipens. However, with (Mega DHI), a maximum of (7000)follicles are transplanted, giving the hair more density and attractiveness.
Extremely DHI Technology goes through the same stages as the DHI technique, however, it enables the doctor to transplant up to 5000 follicles during 12-15 hours over only a session.
There are some important tips that one should stick to before undergoing the hair transplantation process:- Avoid smoking for at least two weeks before the procedure, as it affects the growth of the follicles and affects the results of the process.- Avoid drinking green tea, for it is a blood thinner that causes severe bleeding during and after the operation and leads directly to the failure of the transplantation.
– Avoid coffee and stimulants in general for at least four days before the transplantation, because they are stimulants that affect the anesthesia process.- It is recommended to eat healthy and balanced food well before the operation, to avoid any complications that occur during or after the operation.- Stop taking medications that cause blood thinning, such as Aspirin and ibuprofen combinations.
– If you are having certain medications for a particular disease, such as hypertension, diabetes or other diseases, your healthcare professional who is following your health condition must be aware of and approve the hair transplantation process.
There are a set of tips after the hair transplantation process that must be followed:-
A headband must be worn for 48 hours, to avoid the swelling of the head.
– Avoid bending your head as much as possible, and keep a parallel line between your chin and the ground for three days, in order to avoid swelling in the areas of the forehead and around the eyes.
– Never wash your hair before the 72 hours period after the operation is over.- You must sleep in a semi vertical position, relying on two pillows to lift your head for five days, in order to avoid swelling.
– Avoid swimming in the sea for three months, and avoid swimming in a pool for two months.
– Stay away from sunlight, heat, and high humidity for at least a month and you should wear a medical hat when you go out
– Be careful when putting on or taking off the clothes, so as not to pressure directly on the scalp.
– Avoid smoking for at least two months after the operation, because it impedes the growth of follicles leading to their fall.
– Use medical shampoo when washing your hair, do not rely on chemical shampoo.
– Stay away from Turkish bath or sauna for a month.
– Keep on having necessary treatments and medications prescribed by your doctor, which help to heal wounds quickly, and to increase the growth of the hair follicles.
– Avoid standing directly under rain or dust, so as not to cause harm to the follicles implanted.
– Avoid intercourse (marital relationship) for a week.
– Plasma PRP needles are recommended to be used, as they strengthen the implanted follicles.
– It is recommended to undergo cold laser sessions that stimulate blood circulation and thus strengthen the transplanted follicles.
– It is also preferred to have some vitamins that help enhance the growth of follicles.
The density of the donor area, the area to be implanted and the number of follicles to be picked out is determined. The front line is drawn.
The patient undergoes the necessary tests and checkups, which are blood tests and some dermatology examinations.
In this stage, the entire hair is shaved, in the case of hair transplantation was to be conducted with (FUE) technique. If the DHI technique or Robot technique was to be used, then only the donor area is shaved, in order to facilitate the process of picking the follicles out. The patient then is anesthetized with local anesthesia.
In this stage, the doctor picks out the follicles from the donor area via the Micro Motor, and they are placed in saline called Hypothermosol, in order to keep the follicles alive out of the body as long as possible.
This is the stage of hair transplantation. If (FUE) technique is used, the channels are opened, then the extracted follicles are transplanted into those channels using medical forceps. If (DHI) technique is used, the follicles are placed in Choi pens, and with one click the channels are opened and the follicles are implanted at the same time.
