Head and Beard Hair to head transplant – 4500 Grafts

Head and Beard Hair to head transplant – 4500 Grafts : This patient’s hair loss had progressed to a Norwood 6 level, which is in the range of severe baldness. Initially, he placed his hope in a strip surgery performed at a different clinic. However, the final growth which manifested ended up being a disappointment with minimal yield, pluggy strands, obvious signs of continued hair loss and a noticeable strip scar.

Through conventional forms of hair transplantation, his chances of attaining a full head of hair would have been considered unrealistic. This is because traditional donor graft sources are derived exclusively from the head.

However, Dr. U recognized that this limitation is only due to the design of standard Follicular Unit Extraction punches. This insight led him to rethink the basic structure and capabilities of FUE hair transplant punches and invent a different form of instrumentation that could successfully extract body hair.

Straight cylindrical punches are best suited for removing scalp hair which grows close to 90 degrees.

In trying to improve upon this concept, Dr. U designed UGraft, his Advanced Follicular Unit Extraction technology with a cutting axis that is curved away from the hair follicle and enables the safe removal of non-traditional body and beard hair which grows at much sharper angles.

UGraft therefore allows surgeons to reliably remove large volumes of hair transplant grafts from alternate sources on the face and the rest of the body.
