Hybrid Hair Transplant - Abu Dhabi
Hybrid hair transplant, also known as a combination hair transplant, is a technique that combines two different methods of hair transplantation: follicular unit extraction (FUE) and follicular unit transplantation (FUT).
FUE involves harvesting individual hair follicles from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the head) using a small punch tool. On the other hand, FUT involves removing a strip of skin from the donor area and then dissecting it into individual hair grafts.
In a hybrid hair transplant, the surgeon utilizes both techniques to extract the hair follicles. The FUE method is typically employed for the extraction of hair follicles from specific areas where precision and control are essential, such as the hairline or temples. Meanwhile, the FUT method is used to obtain a higher number of grafts in a shorter amount of time. This combination allows for a more customized and effective hair restoration procedure.
The harvested hair follicles are then transplanted into the recipient area, where the patient is experiencing hair loss or thinning. The surgeon carefully places the grafts, considering the natural direction and angle of hair growth to achieve a natural-looking result.
Hybrid hair transplant techniques aim to optimize the benefits of both FUE and FUT methods. FUE provides the advantage of minimal scarring and a quicker recovery time, while FUT allows for the extraction of a larger number of grafts. By combining these techniques, surgeons can tailor the procedure to meet the specific needs and goals of each patient.
It's important to note that the suitability of a hybrid hair transplant depends on various factors, including the individual's hair loss pattern, donor area condition, and overall hair restoration goals. Consulting with a qualified hair transplant surgeon is crucial to determine the most appropriate technique for your specific case.
