OUR HAIR TRANSPLANT TECHNIQUES
Dr Faraz Akhtar
Unshaven FUE?
an innovative technique known as the Unshaven Hair Transplant, also referred to as U-FUE, offers an undetectable solution for patients who are unwilling to shave their hair completely for the treatment. This minimally-invasive and effective treatment is intricate and far more delicate than traditional FUE hair transplant methods, however our expert surgeons at HairAge have many years’ experience in providing this complex method.
PRP uses extra strength of Synthetic Growth Factors which increases PRP effects 5 times and additional use of Zinc and Biotin in this further enhance its effects on hair structure. Also less sessions are required in PRP than conventional PRP with a long gap in between.
Hair Transplant Results (Before-After)
What about low-cost clinics?
Does the surgeon have an extensive experience of FUE surgery?
FUE surgery requires expert skills and while any doctor can learn how to do it, they must practice for years under the guidance of an experienced specialist. Doctors working in ultra-low cost clinics may or may not have the required background and may even have no specialization at all.
Is the surgery performed by the surgeon himself?
FUE surgery is a time-consuming procedure and doctors need to put in long hours themselves. In most ultra-low cost clinics, several surgeries are done at the same time, and medical doctors are only checking patients for a few minutes, then leave the assistants to do the work.
Do they give you all the information you need?
Hair Transplant Surgery requires an understanding of the patient’s desires as well as the ability to give advice on what can be realistically achieved depending on each case. A good FUE surgeon is not selling dreams, but should instead transform them into reality and explain what is possible.
Is the surgeon a qualified hair transplant surgeon?
A good analysis of the scalp properties and donor area health is required, something which can only be adequately performed by a specialist. Other medical doctors may or may not have the extensive knowledge and experience required.
Do they perform natural pattern grafting?
During the procedure, the distribution of grafts is extremely important. Ultra-low cost clinics perform the same distribution and implantation angles on everyone, resulting in linear patterns which look totally unnatural -you hairdresser will be too polite to tell you- poor graft survival rate and possible complications after surgery.
Do they optimize graft survival?
How the grafts are handled after they have been harvested is extremely important. Depending on the way they are handled, the survival rate can be divided by 2! What matters is actually not how many grafts you get, but how many remain alive after the procedure.
How many days do you need to stay in Pakistan for the procedure?
The patient should arrive 1 day before the surgery for a comprehensive consultation session. The surgery happens the next day and takes a full day 8-10 hours from 08:00 to about 18:00. You cannot travel back the same day after the surgery; you need to have a post op consultation with the doctor the following day after surgery. In this session the doctor checks up the healing process of the patient, the nurses do the washing and afterwards, the doctor gives you detailed post op care instructions. You are free to travel back afterwards. Therefore, you need a total of at least 4 days; travel dates included.
