Direct Hair Implantation is a highly skilled procedure that involves extracting single hair grafts from the back of the scalp (Donor Area) and implanted in the desired area. The Hairs are removed with minimally-invasive, custom-made, micro-surgical extractors with a diameter of 1mm or less. The extraction site will completely heal within a few days.
The implantation is done in a way that allows for the Direct Hair Implantation Doctor to choose the direction of hair growth as well as the density of follicles for each graft implanted, which is vital in ensuring a hair transplant that looks completely natural.
This procedure is entirely performed exclusively by highly trained certified Direct Hair Implantation Doctors, and in many cases, the process is done without shaving the head. This is very important in the case of female patients. The whole process can take a couple of hours to a maximum of two days, depending on the number of hairs implanted.
Benefits of Direct Hair Implantation Include:
- No slits or holes are made before the implantation in contrast to the traditional FUE or FUT procedures
- It allows for a natural look due to the ability to choose the direction in accordance with the natural flow of hair growth on the scalp
- Lower risk of infection as each procedure involves single-use tools for each patient
- Careful handling of hair follicles for optimum survival rate
- Minimal downtime
