The surgery : is carried out in the operating theatre under local anesthesia with a sedative, under proper monitoring and the supervision of an anesthesia specialist.
The technique is safe as the patient's own hair is used (auto-transplantation) to eliminate any rejection risks.
Step 1 : Hair removal from the "donor area" using the strip technique. The strips are taken from the back of the head where hairs do not fall (genetically programmed to last a lifetime). The incision is then closed with stitches that would fall out within 10 days, leaving a discreet scar easilly concealed by surrounding hair. The session lasts around 45 minutes.
Step 2 : The strip is cut into tiny grafts (micro-grafts).The grafts differ by size and shape depending on the area to be covered , the patient's goal, hair color and and texture from donor site. In the meantime (2 hours), the patient is resting in his/her room.

Step 3 : Grafts are transplanted into thinning areas, taking great care to ensure the transplanted hair will grow in a natural direction. Micro-grafts (follicular implants) may contain 1 to 3 hairs.
With Beauty Travel , all three stages are carried out by the surgeon himself in order to avoid any waste of grafts and achieve optimal hair transplantation. We therefore do not perform more than one micro-graft a day.
Duration totals 6 hours for the surgeon and 3 for the patient. |
