Hair Transplant

• HDI Technology: The follicles are picked up in a very simple way from the donor area, to be implanted directly one by one, through a device called Choi Pen. Implanter Choi Pen helps give high intensity as the follicles are grown close together.
• Robot Technology: One of the latest techniques used in hair transplantation, where the robot helps the doctor in hair transplantation, by providing a proactive three-dimensional image of hair transplantation, where the donor area is identified and the best follicles selected for transplanting, they are then transplanted into the area that suffers from hair loss or baldness, using a double-cavity needle.

• Women who suffer from severe hair loss or partial baldness. 
• Women who have a strong donor area.
• Women over 25 years of age.
• Women who do not suffer from hormonal disorders and diseases, such as; hypertension, hepatitis C disease, acute anemia, leukemia, heart diseases, diabetes, thyroid diseases, and immunodeficiency disease (HIV).

• First stage – Clinical examination: The doctor examines the areas affected with baldness or hair loss, as well as examining the donor area. Then he determines the number of follicles needed for implantation.
• Second Stage – Conducting the Necessary Tests: Blood tests are done to identify blood sugar levels in addition to skin tests to see if something hinders the process of hair transplantation.
• Third Stage – Picking Out the Follicles: At first, the donor area is shaved, the hair is shortened, the doctor then picks out the follicles from the area using either the Micro Motor in the case of relying on DHI technology or the robot device in the case of relying on robot technology.
• Fourth Stage – Hair Transplantation: In the case of choosing DHI technology, the doctor implants the follicles using Choi Pens, where the channels are opened, and the follicles are implanted simultaneously with one click. In the case of choosing Robot Technology, the robot helps the doctor determine how the follicles are distributed in the area of baldness or hair loss. Then the extracted follicles are implanted using micro needles with double-cavity. Once the hair transplantation is completed, a band is worn around the head to prevent the fluids from falling into the face and reduces swelling.

• Avoid smoking for a month, as it affects blood oxygen levels.
• Avoid having blood thinners, such as; green tea or multivitamins, for they contain vitamin E. 
• Avoid stimulants such as caffeine and Arabic coffee, as they cause difficulty in responding to anesthesia.
• Have healthy and balanced food to avoid complications.
• Avoid having medications that cause blood thinning, such as aspirin and ibuprofen combinations.
