Follicular Unit Transplantation
At Ziering Medical, the surgical hair restoration technique of Follicular Unit Transplantation is performed under local anesthesia.
A thin strip of donor hair is harvested from the donor area which is the region of hair on the back of the head in which the hair is genetically programmed not to fall out. These hairs are permanent.
The donor strip is then placed under the Ziering Scope which is designed specifically for hair restoration surgery and the strip is then dissected into microscopic grafts of individual follicular units, of one to four hairs. This all important step in hair restoration surgery must be precise in order to gain the best yield from your donor area.
These precious grafts are placed in a cold, tissue storage and until they are meticulously placed in the recipient sites created by your hair transplant surgeon.
Aesthetic and Artistic Density
Extreme attention is given to the exact angle and direction of each tiny recipient site in order to maximize the redistribution of your transplanted hair to achieve aesthetic and artistic density, in order to give the most natural looking result and the greatest illusion of more hair.
In most procedures, the 1- hair grafts are placed in the frontal hairline and temporal peeks, the 2-hair grafts immediately behind the hairline grafts and the 3 and 4 hair follicular units are placed through central and forelock zones. This may vary with Corrective Procedures where repair of “old plugs” requires more creative design to soften the “pluggy” appearance of older surgical hair restoration techniques.
With this advanced surgical hair restoration technique, patients are able to return home on the day of surgery without any bandages.
Since most patients are concerned about washing their newly transplanted hair for the first time, we encourage all of patients to come back the next day for a complimentary hair wash to learn how to care for their transplanted hair during the crucial first week of recovery. Additionally, surgical hair restoration patients are provided with a specific daily routine to follow for the first 10 days post-operatively.
After the procedure, if there is any discomfort related to the procedure it is normally treated with oral medications.
Transplanted hair goes through the same resting and growing phases of your normal hair. The hairs of the transplanted grafts will begin to grow at approximately 4 months after your procedure and continue through months 10 – 12 post operatively.
