High density hair restauration possible

Patients with minimal hair loss can go for "dense packing", a thickening technique that can achieve very high density.

Most men who are not troubled by hair loss, have approximately 90-120 hair 'grafts' per square centimetre, or 200 to 260 hairs. During a consultation we can determine your density by using an electronic microscope.
Depending on the hair loss, we can implant up to 60-70 'grafts' or 150 hairs per square centimetre. The density is also determined to a large extent by the:

• Diameter of the shaft
• Hair colour
• Colour of the skin
• Curls
• Cair style

Higher density at the hairline

We endeavour to achieve as high a density as possible in the forward part of the head. This are must have good coverage to get a good final result. Because we always try to achieve a high density, we generally need more hair roots than what other institutes recommend.

Mini instruments

To make high density possible, we have to use the smallest instruments available. To this end we use the 'lateral slit' technique developed in Canada and which received an award from the annual hair transplant conference in Vancouver.

The instruments are 0.70 mm blades whose length and angle are adapted for every patient.

No laser

Internationally, people abandoned making holes for the transplants with a laser years ago. The reason for this is that a laser burns the skin giving rise to burn wound tissue. This burnt tissue impedes the blood supply to the roots, so that their chances of survival are less.

Furthermore a laser cannot be used between existing hairs, because its energy will damage them.
