Hair transplantation (FUE) is the newest ... and the tape is the fastest (scientific comparison) PDF Print E-mail Writer Administrator Wednesday, 16 May 2012 18:01 Hair transplantation operations go between tugging and pulling to placate the patient and reduce side complications and on the other hand Work on the success of the operation and the growth of the transplanted hair. What attracts many people interested in this agriculture is knowing the latest scientific findings and the advantages versus the negatives compared to the traditional process.
Among the most prominent of this is the process of hair transplantation by "picking". To make it simple for the reader. The traditional process in hair transplantation is to cut a strip of the donor area from the back of the head with a length of about twenty centimeters and a width of one to two centimeters, depending on the density of the hair and the softness of the skin, and then stitching the cut skin, which results in a longitudinal scar that may be evident in some patients if the head is shaved at zero This disturbs some patients and makes them look for a method that does not need to be cut and sutured, which is the method of extraction. This method is to take hair from the donor area, a hair and a bulb, which does not need stitching, and the maximum benefit in that is not to get that longitudinal scar. As for other than that, the two processes are similar in the rest of the steps in terms of hair follicle transplantation and distribution.

What are the rest of the negatives and positives between the two methods? In the traditional method, the number of follicles is usually more than the method of extraction, as the number may reach 3000. While picking up an average of 2000 follicles, and working is still serious about increasing this number with modern devices. The second difference is the time of the operation by the method of extraction, which is usually longer than the traditional method and more effort on the patient and the doctor, and recently devices have been invented to reduce time and effort. The third difference, which is the most important, is that the method of extraction in which some follicles are subjected to between 10% and 20% of shearing, i.e. cutting the root of the bulb, which reduces the chance of its growth and this does not usually happen with the traditional method and this is due to the nature of hair growth inside the skin, this is a brief presentation of the difference between the two methods and the person needs to visit a doctor A specialist to know more accurate details of the two methods and which is most suitable for him.
