Hair Transplants

Haarklinikken Hair Transplant Method

Haarklinniken is recognized around the world as a leader in the forefront of Hair Transplantation technology.   Specializing in the Follicular Unit Extraction method of Hair Transplants, Haarklinikken offers effective Hair Restoration with hair transplants in both men and women.

We use a method of surgical hair extraction that has been developed and advanced over the past several decades. As instruments and techniques have evolved, the FUE method has become minimally invasive and preferred by a large majority of people seeking hair transplants. Not only that, the inclusion of blunt dissection for grafting has made it possible for the procedure to be performed with decreased damage to hair follicles as well. Because the FUE method does not leave linear scarring, our patients are able to wear their hair short if they so choose. Active people respond well to Haarklinikken hair transplants because they heal faster and can resume regular tasks and activities shortly after undergoing the procedure.

Follicular Unit Extraction

The FUE method, also known as follicular unit extraction, is a Hair Transplant method that involves extracting follicular units of hair (or units of 1 to 4 hairs) by making a tiny cut in the skin around each unit, thereby separating and extracting it from the scalp. This follicular unit of hair is harvested along with other units until the surgeon has collected all the units required for transplantation.

The process can be quite tedious as it has to be undertaken with the utmost care and precision. Typically, the wounds left by the extraction of the follicular units are about 1 millimeter each and will heal in a minimal amount of time or, on average, around a week to ten days. The small wounds usually form into tiny white scars at the sides and back of the scalp from where the donor hair is usually taken.

Traditional Hair Extraction
In traditional transplant procedures, hair transplant surgeons typically remove donor hair from the back of the scalp using a means of removal called follicular unit transplant, or FUT, for short. In this procedure, hair for transplant is taken in the form of one lengthy, slim strip all within a very short period of time. After removal, the strip of hair follicles is divided into single follicular units using an advanced microscope which allows each follicular unit extraction to be harvested without transection.
