 The key to the success of the new technique.
The latest advances in hair transplantation are possible because of the binocular stereoscopic dissecting microscope that allows us to harvest 20% more hair from the donor area. There are five reasons why the use of the stereoscopic microscope helps us to produce such a superior result:
1. The stereoscopic microscope gives us a greatly enlarged, and therefore completely clear view of the structure of your hair and the way it is placed in its natural state. This enables us to work with great precision between each follicular unit and preserve not only the hair but also its vital structures such as the sebaceous glands and the hair roots. Without the stereoscopic microscope, there is a danger that the surgeon could cut through some of the hair and the vital structures and damage them in the process.
2. Grafts transplanted with the stereoscopic microscope will be healthier and will grow more vigorously (because we have been better able to preserve the sebaceous glands and the dermal papillae). This means we not only harvest 20% more hair, but also that the hair we have transplanted will be healthier and therefore will grow more vigorously.
3. By using the stereoscopic microscope, we can also detect and use the very young hair that is in the early stages of regeneration and is not visible to the naked eye. At any stage of life, your hair includes about 13 to 17% of this very young hair. By using this, we provide more hair for the transplant and thus a greater density in the final result.
4. The hair at the back of your head is a finite resource; by using the stereoscopic microscope we use this precious resource more fully.
5. The advantages of the stereoscopic microscope are even more dramatic when we work with hair that is very fine, very dense, curly, or white. |
