Fue
What is FUE and how does it work?
FUE is a hair transplant method in which hair follicles are harvested from the donor area using a small hollow drill. Channels are then made in the receiving area, after which the hairs can be placed in the receiving area using specially designed tweezers.
What is the difference between the FUT and FUE technique?
The big advantage of the FUE technique over the outdated FUT technique has to do with the scar. With the FUT technique, a strip is removed from your scalp, leaving a scar on your donor area. Fortunately, this is not the case with the FUE technique, so Hair Clinic Wolf has chosen to no longer offer the FUT technique.
What is the difference with DHI?
In the DHI method, implant pins (Choi pins) are used. The graft is harvested in the same way as with FUE, however, upon placement, the graft is transplanted directly into the scalp.
What are the benefits of FUE?
The FUE treatment is less time consuming than DHI, so more grafts can be implanted and the treatment is cheaper.
What are the disadvantages of FUE?
Because channels are made, a less high density can be achieved compared to the DHI method. Furthermore, the recovery process is longer and your scalp needs to be shaved.
DHI
What is DHI and how does it work?
DHI is a hair transplant method that uses implantation pins (Choi pins). The graft is harvested from the donor area using a small hollow drill. The graft is then placed in the Choi pen and transplanted directly into the scalp.
What is the difference with FUE?
With the FUE method, channels are made in the scalp into which the hairs are later transplanted. This is not necessary with the DHI method, since the hairs are transplanted directly into the scalp.
What are the benefits of DHI?
By using the DHI method, a higher density can be achieved. An additional advantage is that with DHI there is little or no bleeding during implantation. It is also possible to shave only your donor area.
What are the disadvantages of DHI?
The DHI hair transplant treatment takes more time and requires a different technique from the treatment team, which means that more costs are charged for this treatment.
PRP
What is PRP and how does it work?
PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. This means that the blood plasma contains many red platelets. Before the PRP treatment, your blood will be drawn and the plasma will be separated from the other blood cells by means of a centrifuge. The plasma is then injected into your scalp with a thin needle.
Why is PRP performed?
By administering PRP, the hair follicles receive the right nutrients, which improves the quality of the hair follicles. Additional benefits are that hair growth is stimulated, the life of the hair is extended, the hair quality is improved and PRP ensures faster wound healing after a hair transplant.
What does a PRP treatment cost?
At Hair Clinic Wolf, the PRP treatment is included in the price for your hair transplant, so no extra costs will be charged.
