We, a team from Care well Medical Centre. have been ln Hair Transplantation for last 10 years. Initially FUT or Strip method was used. From last 4 years FUE is gaining popularity. We started FUE in 2010 and were doing 1000 grafts in one sitting. With advent of new technologies , refinement in techniques of surgery our results have improved drastically. We are able to remove 3000-4000 grafts in one sitting depending on density of donor area.

Our techniques have been inspired by eminent Hair transplant doctors as Dr. James Harris who is founder of Powered FUE – S.A.F.E technology. We are using a modified version of it. With this technique the graft transaction and injury rate has decreased from 30% to less than 10%.

The new techniques which we use to improve the results are following.

We are using minimal fluid for anesthesia about 1cc per sq cm .This reduces post operative swelling and facial edema.

We are using blunt burrs in dissection instead of sharp burrs so the transaction rate decreases.

In extraction technique we strictly follow protocol of Axis Orientation, Engagement, Advancement and Extraction. To assist in axis orientation we use Magnification of 6X . This avoids improper axis orientation. We keep in mind to keep the centre of Burr in alignment with direction of hair follicle.

For Engagement we allow the leading edge of instrument perpendicular to skin.

Once engaged we make it sure that that advancement is at slower than initial speed and the burr moves effortlessly.

We are very careful about transections and Burials and adjust the angle of burr, and speed if we face graft injury.

The proper dissection is indicated by graft elevation by 1-2mm. This allows easy extraction of grafts.

All these steps help to increase the number of grafts extracted without any damage.

We are very careful about storage of grafts and keep them at 2-8degree Centi.

This improves our graft survival.

In graft implantation we use 40-50 grafts per sq.cm which improves the results of hair density in recipient area.

So if you think that getting Hair transplantation from any place does not matter think twice. It is experience, technique, team and dedication which can change results from no hair to dense hair.
