FUE "Follicular Unit Extraction", Strip Surgery, Trico Closure, Coverage, Hair Density, Donor Area ............. Where do you start?
Educate yourself to the principles of a hair transplant before you have a hair transplant.
A hair transplant is the placement of hair from one area of the scalp to another area. Because of genetics it will not suffer from Male Pattern Baldness............... Does this mean it is suitable for everyone?

BHR Clinic International is dedicated to educating and informing potential Hair Transplantation patients, we believe it is the best way to ensure your short and long term well being
Although technically / medically almost all people can have a Hair Transplant this does not mean the procedure is suitable for all; factors such as age, hair loss stage, potential for future loss, donor management and patient desires are evaluated. Every person is individual and has his or her own objectives, be it cosmetic or psychological these have to be taken into consideration to ensure long-term happiness.
Follicular Unit Extraction "FUE" and Strip Surgery "FUT" are the two recognised scalp to scalp hair transplant techniques; but factors such as donor hair density, hair characteristic, hair calibre, age, goals and expectations are vital to deciding the best technique. "FUT" Strip Surgery using the Tricophytic Closure will minimise the look of the scar line on virgin scalps whereas with FUE the punch size can be small enough for the scarring to be non visible to the eye.
FUE & FUT hair transplant surgery can be combined under the correct circumstances to maximise the donor area and provide the most follicular units to be harvested in one procedure. This could benefit those in an advanced Norwood Scale of hair loss and looking to achieve the best coverage and density in one hair transplant session.
Follicular units (FU - grafts), FU’s are natural genetic groups of hair; each unit contains anything from one to four hairs, usually in the donor area they average out at 2.2 hairs per FU.
The original density of follicular units prior to hair loss can be anywhere from 60 and 110 groups per square centimetre, dependent on genetic makeup, ethic background and natural hair characteristics. Then the person's natural hair characteristics have an important part to play, such as hair colour, curliness of the hair, coarsness; all will add to how the hair transplant will be performed and the result that can be achieved.
Some individuals have “homerun” hair, essentially allowing them to treat any degree of hair loss; other individuals may not be able to treat the entire area of hair loss and will have to settle for less coverage. We find that we do not need to match the density you were born with to give you the illusion of a healthy coverage and density; only 60% density is required to block the transmission of light.
