Bio FUE is a trademarked procedure of FUE hair transplant developed by our own team of doctors at AK Clinics. It is a long term customized plan of hair restoration for our patients. It takes into account the fact that hair loss is a progressive condition & different patients have different hair characteristics or different patterns of hair loss. In Bio FUE technique, the hair follicles or grafts are extracted by our special technique along with administration of growth factors into the scalp, making hair stronger, longer and healthier. There are 5 steps of Bio FUE and we shall now discuss the same.
Local Anesthesia is used to block the sensations of pain in the scalp or other body part which is going to be operated during hair transplantation. It can be administered either by applying topical anesthesia or by injecting into the skin directly.Routinely at other clinics, the area to be operated upon is made numb by injecting local anesthesia into the scalp and there is pain at the time of administration.
But at AK clinics, it is virtually pain free as we follow a special procedure to curb the pain sensation.
We firstly apply anesthetic gel to the base of the scalp 40 minutes before starting the anesthesia.
Then we use world’s thinnest needles and vibrator on the area to make it virtually pain free anesthesia.
Slit making is a process of creating space in the scalp where the grafts will be implanted. Routinely at other clinics, slits are made in the recipient area using needles after the extraction of grafts is over. The slits are variable in size and depth which leads to uneven level growth of hair.
But At AK clinics, it is different. Our experienced surgeons perform slit making before extraction so as to decrease the out of body time of grafts. (It is the time interval between the extraction and implantation for which the grafts keep on lying outside the body in the storage solution). They make the slits with the special CTS (cut to size) blades. The procedure for doing the same is as below:
Five test grafts are taken out from the patients scalp. The average length of the grafts is measured. Then, the length of the shaft of the blade is adjusted as per your hair length and then the slits are made at proper angle, direction and density.The use of imported CTS (cut to size) blades with guard on the holder ensures that the depth of each and every slit is as per the length of your graft which gives following benefits:
There is minimal chance of mechanical trauma to the underlying vessels.
The time spent by grafts outside the body is minimum which helps to keep your hair viable and gives better results.
