What is Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT)?
FUT is the process where a single strip of hair is harvested from the back of the head. The hair there is most resistant to falling because the receptors for hormones are unique (that’s why even in severe male pattern hair loss, the back of your scalp called the occipital hairline is preserved).
The harvested donor site is then meticulously approximated to minimize scars. Hair follicles are harvested from the donor strip. This is a meticulous process that needs an expert team. The hair follicles are then dissected while preserving their units, which is a very technical process performed under special microscopes. Our physicians supervise all these steps to ensure the hair follicles are healthy and have the highest chances of survival. Only healthy and intact hair follicles count. That’s the treatment difference at Springs Hair Restoration.
The next sequence is extremely delicate, each hair follicle graft is transplanted into the desired area. Each graft is placed to create a natural look thus achieving an aesthetically pleasing hairline. Because this is as much an art as a science, understanding your hair texture, quality and orientation are invaluable. Understanding your hairline and an age-appropriate hairline is even more invaluable. We are experts who strive for the best outcome possible for you. At Springs Hair Restoration in Sandy Springs and Metro Atlanta you know you’re in professional hands when it comes to Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT).
What is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)?
FUE is a process where a single graft is harvested from the back of the scalp using a 1mm hand-held punch device. The harvested grafts are then transplanted to the desired area of the scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, or bread. FUE is a very meticulous surgery. Each hair follicle is uprooted and rehomed with extra care.
At Springs Hair Restoration we are experts in several techniques such as removing a portion of skin that bears hair from a donor area. This graft is then transplanted into the recipient area, which is punched out to accommodate the graft, this is known as the Punch Technique. Another technique that we use removes the hair follicles with a wand, it extracts them with suction. We then use a special tool that makes pinpoint incisions and implants the follicles at the same time.
FUE is a hair transplant method with many benefits:
Tools for FUE:
Tools for FUE NeoGraft include an automated Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). FUE is the only FDA Class 1 medical devise for hair restoration.
Benefits of FUE over the traditional strip method or linear harvesting for hair restoration:
It's Establish that FUE transplants can heal faster with much less discomfort than the linear harvesting techniques. With this method, you can go back to work in just a couple of days. Also, once you've completely healed, you can wear a very short hair cut without any worried, because there are no linear scars!
Not everyone is a candidate for FUT, especially people who like to wear their hair short. Not everyone is a candidate for FUE either as it depends on the hair density. Luckily at Springs Hair Restoration in Sandy Spring and Metro Atlanta, we specialize in both surgical options and can advise you on whether Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is right for you.
I saw Dr. Zach for a non-surgical treatment with the purpose of hair restoration. He showed great knowledge at the initial evaluation, gave realistic and expected outcomes for the procedure, and has a great bedside manner. I had the 3-series procedure with a great outcome. Additionally, he used a new local anesthesia approach that made the procedure pain-free. As a licensed healthcare provider, myself, I am a very educated consumer. And I would definitely recommend him to anyone without reservation!
I have a wonderful experience every time I come to this office. Dr. Zack is amazing and has completely exceeded my expectations with every Plama Growth Factor treatment. I was shocked at how amazing and quick the results were! He completely saved my hair, and it's a great experience every time!
Show moreI did my third hair restoration with Dr. Zack. I can say that by far this has been the best experience. It evens makes me regret wasting time and money with my other two procedures at different practices. My procedure and experience with Springs Hair was AMAZING. He cares for your hair as if it was his own. A few things to note: 1. Dr. Zack is extremely knowledgeable with the latest and great techniques available in hair restoration. 2. He is highly accessible and even gives you his cell number so you can text him questions and concerns (which I did every day before and after the procedure). 3. His price is very reasonable. My recovery has been so smooth compared to my 2 previous procedures. It was relatively painless and I already see that these results are going to be the best.
Exceeded my expectations. Recently, I underwent hair replacement in February 2021 with Springs Dermatology MD/ Springs Hair restoration by Dr. Zach Charkawi (Zach). Dr. Zach’s deep passion and knowledge made the process very comfortable. Zach thoroughly explained the process together with answering any questions I had. I was concerned about how effective the procedure would be and the extent of discomfort in the process. It is now 7 months later and the results are incredible. My wife loves it. The procedure itself takes all day, and Zach was hands on together with his two very impressive technicians. Although the process was a little uncomfortable, Zach made sure to address any discomforts thoroughly. After the procedure, I experienced some swelling that lasted about a week. Zach personally called me every day to see how the recovery process was going. It was well worth it. If you are considering hair replacement, I highly recommend you contact Springs Dermatology, for I cannot imagine any other organization doing a better job than Dr. Zach Charkawi and his highly professional staff. Five plus stars.
