 Basics of hair transplantation 

The patient's own hair from the donor region is transplanted to the bald or sparse part of the scalp. Only own hair can be transplanted as hair from other individual will be rejected by immunological reasons.

The basic of hair transplant surgery is the fact, that hair follicules at the occipital and fringe regions are not sensitive against hormons so those who are going to be bald even in great extension have their remaining hair at that areas. According to the principle of the so called  „ donor dominance” follicules transplantated from this areas bring and maintain this feature at the recipient site so from the transplantated follicules hair grow normally and does not shed later. 
The contemporary microsurgical method of  transplantation with follicular units (FUT method -follicular unit transplantation, strip technique or FUE method, individual extraction methods) gives much more: entirely natural appearence, no more „brush like” disturbing hair knots or heavy scars. Our method gives acceptable density and even from short distance no one can see that the new hair is transplanted.

FUE (follicular unit extraction) techique means the removal of the follicular units each by each, by the use of micro punch knife (usually diamater 0.75-1 mm), and leaving several dots of minimal scars on the donor area instead of the thin linear scar of the strip.  These very small scars are not visible. We provide the state-of-art powered FUE harvesting technique With this technique we can achieve cc. 800 -2500 FU grafts/surgery/day. We can repeat the surgery on the next consecutive day, so in one seat we can provide 1600-3000 Fu grafts or more in average. Transplantation (implantation or planting of grafts) is done by 1-2 hairs FU grafts at the frontal hairline with ultrarefined technique, while the rest of the scalp are covered with mixtured type ( 1-4 hairs) follicular grafts. No scar formation is detectable nearby the transplanted grafts, direction and mood of hair growing is natural by the utilization of the correct so called " lateral slit" technique. 

FUE technique can be recommended to :

• For anyone, who prefers this method
• Patients who like to wear their hair very short in the donor zone or might consider shaving off all their hair.
• Patients who require a small hair transplant, for example to hide the scars of a face lift or an eyebrow transplant.
• Patients with a donor zone with limited hair (female hair loss)
• Patients who wish to hide the scar of a previous hair transplant intervention.

FUT (Strip harvesting) method

Donor area is the occipital region of the scalp. By the regular "strip" donor harvsting method we remove in horizontal direction a long, narrow strip from ear to ear of the hair-bearing skin. The edges of this wound are closed, so there is no lack of hair, only a narrow, soft scar line what is invisible in the hair. This scar is closed with the special " trichophytic suture", which by means hair are growing through the scar, so it would not be seen in a short 0.5 cm hair even.

This strip are sliced into slivers, and from this very small skin islands are cut, containing only 1-2, or 3-4 hair follicules ( follicular units). These are called follicular unit grafts, formally called the 1- 2 hairs micro, 3- 4 hairs  minigrafts. Preparation and cutting of the grafts is an extremely precise and meticulous work, survive of the grafts are greatly upon the technique utilized. We make small incisions with special instruments at the recipient area, and the grafts are positioned in them one by one.
 Incisions and implantation is the same as with FUE technique. 

Hair transplant for women is also succesful!

Central type female alopecia, covered by FUT transplant surgery

 For women , we can provide as good result with hair transplant surgery as in men.

Indications for hair transplant for women:

• We can increase the density in sparse areas,
• we can lower the high hairline,
• we can hide scars of the forhead-temple after cosmetic surgical intervention as face lift.
• Eyebrow or eyelash transplants are effective as well.
