BALDNESS
Baldness is the first reason for consultation among men.
More than 50% of men over 40 are affected by more or less significant baldness. The cause is genetic and hormonal, we speak of Androgenetic alopecia.
Hair Transplant Techniques
FUE: FOLLICULAR UNIT EXTRACTION
It is a recent technique that allows hair transplantation follicle by follicle without scarring. on the sampling area.
Thanks to a mini forest (diameter < 1 mm) follicular micro-grafts are taken directly (from 1 to 2 hairs) without leaving practically any scar. The postoperative consequences are minor as well as the postoperative care.
The micro grafts obtained by FUE being very thin, they are practically invisible in the immediate post-operative period.
This intervention is carried out under local anesthesia, it remains longer because it is more meticulous than the technique by strip or FUT.
This is the ideal technique:
-
To correct beginner or average baldness in men.
-
To densify areas where hair already exists (as in baldness in women).
Unlike common practice in Turkey or North Africa, the FUE technique without complete shaving, also known as the “ French Technique ”, allows hair loss to be treated without requiring complete shaving of the head.
This method involves shaving only the sampling area, while leaving the hair in the implantation area at its normal length. Hair implants are thus more discreet, reducing social embarrassment. This allows an almost immediate resumption of daily activities, with minimal visual impact.

LA FUT: FOLLICULAR UNIT TRANSPLANTATION
The FUT or strip technique is performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon cuts a strip of scalp on the crown of about 1.5 cm then we will cut the grafts into 2 to 5 hairs according to the indication. The scar is fine and hidden in the hair, it is not necessary to shave the patient for this technique.
This is the ideal technique:
-
To correct the significant baldness of the tonsure because we obtain thicker grafts than with an FUE
In addition and to limit hair loss and stimulate la regrowth complementary treatments such as LED and / or PRP:find out more
