Uni-Strand® makes all the difference
Most people are not aware that a revolution has been transforming the practice of hair transplantation. Doctors now have a much more sophisticated understanding of how hair grows. The introduction of high-power microscopes has allowed doctors to dissect and transplant hair in a fashion that perfectly mimics mother nature.
Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation
These naturally occurring follicular units are the anatomical root systems of the hair beneath the scalp. Hair transplantation relocates these same follicular root units to produce perfectly natural appearing hair growth through the scalp skin layer; if done correctly, the final result is a virtually undetectable hair transplant.
Oftentimes, not even an “up close” inspection by your stylist or barber will yield any tell-tale signs. The genetically DHT immune hair graft will grow forever like it has been growing elsewhere on your scalp before the transplantation process.
The “Uni Strand®” FUT Hair Transplant
We will only leave an area of approximately 1 centimetre wide by 6 to 30 centimetres in length, depending on how many grafts are required by the size of the session booked by the client.
We will only trim the hair in the unclipped area of the scalp. The remainder of the hair will not be trimmed, cut or changed in any manner, allowing you to sport a normal hairstyle after your hair transplant session is complete. We also ensure that hair above the donor covers your sutures well so that the donor area goes undetected after it’s healed; you can style your hair in whatever way you desire.
After thoroughly freezing the donor area with a local anaesthetic, we remove the strip of hair. Afterwards, we suture the area where the strip was removed using single-stitch threading. The actual incision time is less than two minutes, and the preparation time can take up to twenty minutes to ensure the area is numb, and the anaesthetic has done its job well.
It’s important to note that as a part of our Uni-Strand® set of surgical techniques, we use an advanced method of donor area closure known as trichophytic (pronounced “trick-o-fitic “) closure, this closure technique allows the skin to heal with hair growing right through the scar. This helps conceal the scar to the most significant degree, making it very easy to sport a short hairstyle without the scar ever being noticeable.
In order to remove Follicular Units from the back of the scalp with the least amount of damage to the Follicular Units, the donor strip must be removed in one continuous piece and is also part of the Uni-Strand® proprietary set of surgical procedures we practice.
The individual Follicular Units are then dissected under a powerful microscope to create the ideal “Uni-Strand Graft®” which must be singular hair follicular units. These singular hair grafts are stored in a special preserving solution and refrigerated while awaiting placement in the recipient area (bald or thinning areas of the scalp). We are now ready to implant the new uni-grafts® into the recipient area.
One year post-op hair transplant.
As the photo shows, using a trichophytic closure technique leaves a virtually undetectable scar because the hair grows through the scar, not around it.
