Advanatges of the Automated F.U.E. Hair Transplant Technique

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Over the last few years, the technique of Follicular Unit Extraction (F.U.E.), or follicular-unit transplant (a follicular unit is a set of between 1 and 4 live hairs) has been adopted by increasing numbers of hair-transplant specialists, since the hair density it produces is completely natural and in keeping with the rest of the hair. Above all, it has significant advantages over other hair transplantation techniques:

  • No stitches
  • No scarring
  • No risk of infection or complications
  • Little if any post-operative pain
  • Resume normal activities immediately after the procedure

Advantages of the Automated Technique for Patients:

  • The procedure takes less time (operating time at least halved) and is thus less difficult for the patient
  • Fewer staff are needed during the procedure, so that its cost is less
  • The grafts removed are of excellent quality, they are handled less and their re-implantation is automated, so that a greater percentage of follicles are successfully grafted
  • Little if any post-operative pain; the patients cna resume normal activities immediately after the operation; no visible scarring
  • The patient can arrange for multiple short sessions to suit himself

Advantages of the Automated Technique for the Practioner:

  • The procedure takes less time, so the meticulous work required is less tiring for the doctor. Hand and eye strain is reduced
  • Far fewer staff are required, so managing the episode is less onerous

The Bald Truth: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Hair Transplant

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

On Tuesday’s (14 July 2009) edition of “My Paper” (pg 1 & 2), it was reported that “1.1 million Singaporeans suffer from hair loss”. Out of which, seven in ten men and three are women. With such trends, it is not difficult to spot big hair treatment adverts in the papers and many famous treatment centres (e.g. Beijing 101, Yun Nam Hair Care, Trichokare) all over Singapore.

To meet the demands of this growing group of individuals suffering from hair loss, NeuGlow The Aesthetics Doctors is pleased to provide hair transplantation. NeuGlow will treat hair problems using a method called, “Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)”. The FUE hair transplant technique is a permanent solution to hair loss. It is also the least invasive procedure amongst other permanent hair loss solutions.

The FUE Treatment Process:
1. Hair grafts are taken from donor areas (where hair still grows in abundance, usually at the back of the head)
2. Once grafts have been extracted & harvested, the doctor makes tiny micro-holes for implantation (at bald sites of the scalp or eyebrows)

Benefits of the FUE Technique:
- No stitching required (skin closes on its own)
- Quick procedure (1 week for full healing compared to about 3 weeks with traditional menthods)
- Return to normal life (e.g. work) the very next day afer treatment
- Able to wash hair after 2 days

Facing Hair Loss Problems?

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

Over 40% of men have noticeable hair loss by age 35 and 65% by age 60. In the United States alone, hair loss affects about 40 million men and 20 million women. Hair loss occurs when the rate of shedding exceeds the rate of re-growth; when new hair is thinner than the hair shed or when the hair falls out in patches.

Patterns of Hair Loss
1. Male pattern baldness (also known as Androgenetic Alopecia) represents about 90% of all hair loss due to hormone Testosterone.
2. Telogen Effluvium, which occurs 2 – 4 months after childbirth or from acute illness, crash dieting, physical and emotional stress.
3. Alopecia Areata involves hair loss in one of more round spots on the scalp, caused by an abnormality in the immune system.

What is Hair Transplantation?
The most common and most reliable surgical treatment for hair loss is hair transplantation. Nearly 300,000 procedures are performed annually in United States. The basis for hair transplantation is that when hair is taken from donor areas where hair continues to be abundant, such as the back of the head and is planted in areas of hair loss, the transplanted hair will take on the characteristics of the donor area and will continue to grow. Now! OmnigraftTM Automated Hair Transplantation is the latest, fastest and less invasive surgery.

Omnigraft Automated Hair Transplantation
Omnigraft Automated Hair Transplantation is an Automated Follicular Unit Extraction (F.U.E) technique. It is a robot using micro-instruments to remove follicular units, which makes surgery simpler, faster, and less debilitating for the patient, with more convincing aesthetic results. The hairs taken are immediately sucked up into a sterile catheter and transferred to a small hand-piece that pushes the hair into a small reception orifice by simple pressure.

Advantages of Follicular Unit Extraction (F.U.E)
º Less invasive
º Reduces operating time
º No visible scars
º Little or no post-operative pain
º Patient can choose the number of hairs transplanted per session
º Quality of follicular units taken is guaranteed, together with optimal vascularisation & growth
º No general anaesthesia
º Suitable for males & females
º Hair transplantation results are permanent (grow for the rest of your life)

The Omnigraft Automated Hair Transplantation will be available soon at NeuGlow The Aesthetics Doctors. For more information, please look for:
