Hair loss can be a distressing experience, impacting not only one’s appearance but also their self-esteem.

Fortunately, with advancements in hair restoration technology, there are a variety of hair implant techniques available to address this issue. Charles Medical Group stands at the forefront of these cutting-edge solutions, offering a range of options tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the different types of hair implants provided by Charles Medical Group, helping you understand which method may be the best fit for your hair restoration journey.

Follicular Unit Excision (FUE)

FUE is a state-of-the-art hair transplantation technique that involves the extraction of individual hair follicles from a donor area, typically at the back of the head where hair is more resistant to balding. This method is known for its precision and the ability to leave minimal scarring, making it a popular choice for patients who prefer a less invasive approach. Charles Medical Group utilizes advanced FUE technology to ensure precise grafting, resulting in a natural and undetectable finish. Suitable candidates for FUE are those with sufficient donor hair and who prefer short hairstyles, as the technique does not leave a linear scar.

Follicular Unit Grafting (FUG)/Transplantation (FUT)

FUG, also known as FUT, is a traditional method of hair transplantation that involves removing a strip of hair-bearing skin from the donor area. The strip is then meticulously dissected into individual grafts, which are implanted into the balding regions. This technique allows for a significant number of hairs to be transplanted in a single session and is generally more cost-effective than FUE. Ideal candidates for FUG are patients who require substantial coverage and are comfortable with longer hair that can conceal the linear scar left by the procedure.

WAW FUE System

The WAW FUE System is an innovative approach that utilizes a specialized, trumpet-shaped punch to extract follicular units. This design minimizes trauma to the scalp and allows for a more efficient healing process. Charles Medical Group has adopted this system to offer patients a less painful experience with faster recovery times. The WAW FUE System is particularly beneficial for those who are looking for a minimally invasive procedure with reduced healing time.

ARTAS® Robotic Assisted FUE

The ARTAS® Robotic System represents the pinnacle of FUE technology, enhancing the precision and consistency of the hair transplantation process. With its robotic assistance, ARTAS® selects the best donor hairs and harvests them with unparalleled accuracy, reducing the risk of human error. This system is ideal for individuals seeking a high-tech solution that offers a high number of quality grafts with minimal downtime and discomfort.

SmartGraft

SmartGraft is a closed harvesting system that provides a more refined approach to hair transplantation. It ensures a more natural-looking hairline without the visible linear scar associated with traditional methods. The technology allows for the careful preservation and implantation of hair grafts, promoting a high survival rate and effective results. SmartGraft is suitable for patients desiring a discreet and advanced hair restoration option.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)

SMP is a non-surgical treatment that creates the illusion of a full head of hair by tattooing tiny, hair-like impressions onto the scalp. This technique is excellent for individuals who may not be candidates for traditional hair transplants or who prefer a low-maintenance solution. SMP can also be used to camouflage existing scars from previous hair transplants, offering a versatile and transformative solution.
