During the hair transplantion

Steps before the hair transplantion

Before hair transplantation

1. Blood test:

We perform blood tests prior to the operation to verify that everything is correct. If you have Hepatitis B, C or AIDS, we will not be able to perform the operation due to hospital safety regulations.

2. Planning and design:

The hair transplant begins with the previous analysis and planning.Then the reception area is designed and then a calculation is made of the number of grafts needed to cover this area.

Finally, the front implantation line is designed in accordance with the wishes and expectations of the client. For a homogeneous and natural appearance. Single hair follicle grafts are used to cover the first line.

3. Local anesthesia:

First, the donor area is cooled and numbed with narcotic ether. As a result, the skin will be less sensitive, to allow the administration of local anesthesia with as little pain as possible. The effect of local anesthesia lasts about 12 hours.

Depending on the number of grafts, the intervention will last approximately between 5 and 7 hours. During the extraction of the grafts, the patient will be in position face down or sideways. During the placement of the grafts, the patient will be in a semi-sitting position.

The stages of hair transplantation

  1. Remove the grafts from the donor area.
  2. At the time they are extracted, counting and organizing the grafts.
  3. Make the incisions in the reception area.
  4. Place the grafts in the reception area (plant the grafts).

In order for the entire process to be successful, the intervention must be carried out by an experienced professional team.

Description of the process to follow in the Hair Graft

STAGE OF HAIR TRANSPLANTS

1. The extraction of the grafts from the donor area:

  • The roots of the hair are easily visible with an eye microscope (3x magnification).
  • First, extraction is performed with a motorized punch 0.8 mm in diameter, this is for double or triple grafts.
  • Then, the extraction of the individual grafts is carried out, with an even thinner motorized punch of 0.6 or 0.7 mm in diameter.

2. Count and organize the grafts:

  • This is done simultaneously with the extraction of the grafts.This task will be assigned to a team member.
  • The grafts are organized and count as individual, double or triple grafts.
  • The extraction and organization of the grafts will end at the same time.

After this phase, there will be a break to eat.

3. Opening of the incisions (channels) in the receiving area:

  • The opening of the incisions in the receiving area requires a lot of experience and technical skill , on which the success of the operation depends in large part.
  • The number of incisions should match the number of grafts.
  • The channels (incisions) will be opened using very thin sheets made to measure, with smaller diameters than that of the grafts. Then, the grafts will be blocked in the incisions and ensure contact between the grafts and their beds, this factor is important for the survival of the graft.
  • The incisions aligned with the direction of growth, of the hairs, will be opened in a particular region of the scalp.

When there is original hair in the receiving area, the incisions should be made in such a way that they do not damage these hairs.

4. Seeding (placement) of grafts:

  • The grafts should be placed in the right direction.
  • Grafts are very sensitive structures. For the transplant, techniques and instruments of microsurgery are used.
  • Our goal is always a 100% survival rate of the grafts
