Hair Transplant

Hair Transplantation

Hair transplantation can be done by strip harvesting or by FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). Strip harvesting is a popular option at Renewme Skin Clinic because the effects are better and scars are minimal. However, we make sure to take our patients’ concerns into consideration, and offer a customized hair transplantation treatment plan.

Hair Follicular Unit Transplantation

The hair on the scalp grows in follicular units comprised of 1~3 hair follicles in each opening. For far east Asians, 46% of hair is composed of single-hair follicle and 54% with 2~3 hair follicles; whereas Caucasians generally have 2~3 hair follicle units with only 5% of single hair follicle. With this in mind, Dr. J.C. Kim of KNHU developed the hair follicular unit transplantation technique in 1992.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

1. Asia non-incisional hair –transplant clinical education center –JP Plastic Surgery holds an Asia.
JP hair transplant seminar regularly to teach the technique of extraction to Asian surgeons. And we have performed many hair transplant procedures to doctors in Korea and abroad. JP Plastic Surgery is leading the field of FUE
 

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

1. The surgeon in JP Plastic Surgery is certified by American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery/ABHRS.
Know-how and skill is absolutely needed in hair transplantation. The chief surgeon, Dr. Choi has more than 10 years clinical experience in hair transplantation and will operate the whole process.
 

Lowering hair line(FUE or FUT)

1. The core technology of JP is naturalness.
I If front hair is as thick as hair in the back, the operation of creating a new hairline fails. JP Plastic Surgery uses fine hairs to create a new hair line so that it will look natural when you wear a hair lace or sweep hair up.
 

Male Pattern Baldness

In the case of male patients, it is desirable to prevent from progression of baldness as they age. The types of surgery and required number of hairs should be decided by considering estimated baldness status in the future rather than the current baldness. Transplantation needs to be processed in between existing hairs. Dr.Ahn takes into consideration the patient’s gender, age, hair density, and distribution of hair before the surgery. Dr.Ahn also has a customized consultation on a hair design with the patient, which increases the overall satisfaction with the most natural result. 

Female Pattern Hair Loss & Hairline

In the case of female hairline correction, natural-looking hair is possible only with the highest density of existing hair. Especially for the fringe area, designing is very important because of the angle and direction of the hair. It must be considered to have the forehead line fitted to the face shape of the patient in order to result in the most natural hairstyle.
