In a hair transplant, after the graft harvesting stage, the grafts are carefully implanted in the recipient area. The implantation area can be a part of the scalp, the mustache, the beard, or the eyebrows, depending on the patient.
This is a crucial step in microsurgery, where precision and dexterity are important.
The doctor aims for a natural and aesthetic result, while taking into account the patient's reality and the future evolution of their baldness. Hair density is an important criterion that must be maximized in certain areas such as the front frontal part (Hair Line). Conversely, the doctor must sometimes know how to limit the number of grafts used to fill certain bald areas (vertex) in order to preserve the limited capital of the donor area.
This density criterion can vary from one patient to another depending on age, stage of baldness, ethnic origins, hair type, but also depending on the area of the scalp observed.
Important point : The number of grafts used is not necessarily the most important criterion. Their distribution and the harmonious and natural perception of the entire implantology work are paramount.
This term refers to the densification in follicular units (FU) of the recipient area (50 FU/cm2 or more).
This intervention, technically delicate and requiring grafts, should be reserved for specific areas in patients with stable baldness.
It is not recommended for young patients with incipient baldness.
The forceps technique: this is a two-step technique.
First, the practitioner makes microscopic incisions similar to pre-holes which will accommodate each of the grafts taken.
At the end of the procedure, a quality control check is performed and a final step called "Stick and Place" is carried out. This optimizes the distribution of the grafts, thus ensuring an optimal aesthetic result.
The implanter technique: this is a one-step technique.
The grafts are loaded by the assistant into an implanter (a sort of pen with a hollow needle), and the doctor places the grafts with great precision one after the other at the same time as the incision.
