Direct Hair Transplant Technique

The procedure in Pen implantation technique follows almost similar steps as any other, Doctor will first trim your hair to an appropriate length and local anaesthesia will be administered to numb your head to ensure your comfort throughout the process. Then the doctor will extract hair graft using an instrument called Choi pen and implant it onto the balding area one graft at a time. While implanting the graft into the scalp doctor has to consider many factors such as “hair growth direction” so it will grow up to give a natural look, “depth of the graft” so the roots will have sufficient blood supply; without proper blood supply follicles will fail to grow new hair, “the angle of the incision” so the hair grafts will grow out at a natural angle to the scalp and “the incision size” so the cut is not too small or too big for the implanted hair graft.

Direct Hair Transplant technique - PROCEDURE

Hair on the entire scalp or back of the head is completely trimmed.
Local numbness is administered on the donor area
The grafts are extracted one by one using micro motor assisted, punches of 1mm or less
The grafts are stored in a growth factor solution at a certain temperature.
Local numbness is administered on the recipient area. Incisions are created on the recipient area using micro blades according to the angle, direction and depth of the follicle.
Implantation is done using no root touch technique where the grafts are gently placed.
