Advanced Surgical Techniques in Hair Restoration with My Hair UK

The Evolution of Hair Restoration Surgery

Hair restoration surgery has evolved significantly over the past few decades, moving from rudimentary techniques to highly advanced surgical methods. These advancements have made it possible to achieve natural-looking results with minimal scarring and a faster recovery time. At My Hair UK, we focus exclusively on the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique, a method that stands out for its precision, safety, and effectiveness in restoring hair.

The FUE technique involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area, usually the back or sides of the scalp, and transplanting them to the thinning or balding areas. Unlike older techniques that used larger grafts, FUE allows for the placement of individual follicular units, leading to a more natural hairline and density. This method also eliminates the need for linear incisions, significantly reducing the risk of visible scarring.

The Science Behind FUE: Precision and Minimally Invasive Approach

FUE is a minimally invasive surgical technique that requires a highly skilled surgeon and advanced tools. During the procedure, a specialised punch tool, typically less than 1 mm in diameter, is used to harvest individual follicular units. The surgeon then creates tiny incisions in the recipient area and meticulously implants each follicle to match the natural growth pattern of your hair.

This technique offers several benefits, including:

Reduced scarring, allowing for shorter hairstyles

Faster recovery times compared to older methods

Minimal discomfort during and after the procedure

Natural-looking results with a high survival rate of transplanted grafts

According to a study published in the Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery, FUE has shown graft survival rates of up to 90-95%, demonstrating its effectiveness in achieving long-lasting results (source).

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: Enhancing Surgical Outcomes

My Hair UK integrates Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy with hair transplant procedures to enhance the healing process and promote hair growth. PRP involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting it into the scalp. Platelets contain growth factors that stimulate cell regeneration and improve the health of hair follicles.

Studies have shown that combining PRP with FUE surgery can lead to faster healing, improved graft survival, and increased hair density (source). This dual approach not only optimises the surgical outcome but also supports the growth of both transplanted and existing hair.
