Men Hair Restoration
Male hair loss, also known as male-pattern baldness, can impact men at any age, with some experiencing it from the onset of puberty. However, it can also occur later in life and is prevalent among 80% of men by the age of 80, causing them to suffer from varying degrees of hair loss.
What is FUE?
Follicular unit excision (FUE), formerly known as follicular unit extraction, has become the go-to procedure for hair surgery over the last five years. It involves harvesting individual hair bundles with tiny punches, which are less than a millimeter in size, carefully selected by the surgeon to yield optimal transplant results while minimizing damage to the donor area from where those grafts were taken. Traditionally, there is also a strip method for harvesting hairs from the back of one’s head, also referred to as FUT. However, this technique pales in comparison to what can be achieved through FUE due to its superior precision and ability to protect surrounding areas on the scalp.
IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR FUE
You are a good candidate for FUE if you meet the following criteria:
- Men diagnosed with male-pattern hair loss and experience thinning, receding hairlines, and baldness
- Men who experience a gradual consistent progression of hair loss
- Men who have sparse donor hair or hair with an obtuse growth angle (such as certain types of Asian hair) wear short hairstyles and face difficulty in hiding a linear scar
- Men who are comfortable with shaving their heads as part of the procedure
Advantages of FUE
FUE offers the significant advantages of an FUE hair transplant is the absence of a linear scar, which allows for closer shaving of the hair. This procedure also offers a psychological benefit since it doesn’t leave a linear incision on the back of the head, boosting the patient’s confidence
Artas
The ARTAS System is an advanced medical robot that utilizes computer technology to enhance hair follicle harvesting quality. Although it has some limitations, such as inability to harvest from certain areas, it’s one of the most efficient methods for follicular unit extraction. Using a combination of hand and robotic technology can provide the best results, and Me4Men excels in both techniques, providing unmatched expertise
BENEFITS
- The ARTAS hair restoration procedure renews hair growth by replacing dormant hair follicles with new ones
- No linear scar
- The ARTAS system examines crucial hair follicle characteristics that lead to more effective outcomes within a shorter time frame
- An Improved method for placing grafts at proper angles and orientation with increased accuracy
- Faster healing time
- By providing different densities of needle slits on the top or front of the scalp, the robot can inject grafts with greater accuracy and appropriate hair density
ALTERNATIVES
- Strip harvesting technique
- Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique performed manually
FUE-BOT
FUE-BOT is a state of the art exclusion hair transplant procedure that combines ARTAS robotic and FUE manual extractions. The procedure allows for mega-sessions and speeds up the hair transplant timeline. This advanced technology is a specialized procedure that is rarely seen in the hair transplant industry and is exclusive for ME4Men patients only.
BENEFITS
Accurate and precise extraction: FUE-BOT utilizes advanced robotic technology to extract hair follicles with greater accuracy and precision along with FUE manual extractions for hard to reach areas behind the ears and outlying areas on the sides and back of the scalp where ARTAS cant reach.
Reduced procedure time: With the assistance of FUE-BOT, the extraction process can be completed much faster for mega sessions than just FUE procedures. This leads to a shorter procedure time and faster recovery for the patient with no linear scarring.
