Hair transplant methods to be performed on a client depend on the surgeon's skills in specific techniques, as there are five kinds of hair transplant methods to be performed, among which the FUT method is a relatively old surgical technique.
Direct Hair Implantation (DHI): The DHI method is well-celebrated in medical circles as one of the most popular hair transplantation practises. With DHI, hair follicles are transplanted under the scalp using a CHOI needle implanter pen that simultaneously opens the hair canal and pushes the extracted follicles under the skin while allowing them to stay there for a long time and mature to grow strong and healthy.
Robotic Hair Surgery: This method relies entirely on a robot to conduct the operation, i.e., to extract the hair follicles and widen the skin pores. Yet the implantation procedure is done manually.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): This method involves harvesting follicles from the donor area one by one using a micromotor and transplanting them into the affected area. The FUE technique is widespread in India and well preferred by Indian aesthetic surgeons because it is less painful and doesn’t leave scars as in the case of the FUT technique.
Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant: The sapphire transplant approach is the most famous and is termed one of the best hair transplant methods. The sapphire graphite stone tip pen is used to make microchannels to implant hair follicles that are precise and form in a V-shape that exactly accommodates each graft. This highly effective tool is known to help make super-precise incisions and is proven to reduce crusting around surgically induced cuts. Sapphire micro-FUE is done only in a few clinics in South India.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): Using the FUT technique, the medical expert takes a patch of tissue from the harvesting area and removes definite groups of hair units to be transplanted. The FUT has not been practised in India anymore due to the inconveniences it causes, and it is also considered outdated.
