Hair plugs

Hair plugs is an older and obsolete form of hair transplantation that includes the removal of a piece of the scalp to obtain hair follicles. After that, the surgeon extracts hair follicles from that piece and insert them at the bald spot or hairline.

This leaves large scars on the donor area and makes your head vulnerable to numerous diseases. It is completely outdated treatment and not recommended by most surgeons around the world.

Hair Transplant

Hair transplant is the modern term for surgical hair restoration that involves moving hair follicles from one part of the scalp to another. The area from where the follicle is taken is called as “Donor area” while the area where they are transplanted is known as “recipient area”. There are two in-demand techniques of hair transplant including Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE).

Follicular Unit Transplant

Follicular unit transplant is one of the two most used techniques for hair transplantation. It is an updated form of hair plugs in which, instead of removing a chunk from the Donor Area, a small strip of hair follicles is removed.

Follicular Unit Extraction

FUE is the technique in which singular hair follicles are extracted from the donor area. It consumes a bit more time than FUT, but it leaves no scar on the scalp. No one will be able to judge your hair transplant surgery after an FUE procedure.

Stem Cell FUE hair transplant

Stem Cell FUE hair transplant is an advanced form of FUE in which hair follicles are extracted with the help of an automated tool. It increases the efficiency of the procedure by reducing the delay,  follicular damage and encourage new hair growth on the donor spots.
