Latest advances in FUE

Here are some of the latest updates on FUE hair transplants:

  1. Robotic FUE Hair Transplants: Robotic FUE hair transplants have recently gained popularity. This method involves using a robotic arm to extract hair follicles and implant them in the recipient area. The procedure is highly accurate and minimally invasive, and it can be a good option for patients who want to minimise scarring and downtime.

The issue is that this machine is costly, and the clinic using it still needs to know how to use it optimally.

It cannot be used for certain patients, e.g., scars in the area, or certain types of hair required, e.g., beard.
In addition, if the machine stops working, can the doctor at the clinic take over and continue the rest of the hair transplant? Has the doctor got the skills?
The machine head also needs to be moved manually to a different area.

Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP therapy is a non-surgical hair restoration treatment that injects the patient's blood plasma into the scalp to promote hair growth. In recent years, PRP therapy has become increasingly popular as an adjunct to FUE hair transplants to enhance the growth and survival of transplanted hair.

PRP must be done with optimal technology; otherwise, there is no tangible result. Our PRP technology is from Emcyte.

  1. Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI technology is used to analyse large volumes of patient data to help doctors and hair restoration specialists identify patterns and optimise treatment plans. This technology can help doctors to personalise treatment plans for each patient and achieve better results.

Dr. Wayne uses AI assessment Crisalix to assist his patients with planning their cosmetic facial procedures.

Exosomes and other transepidermal therapy... more research is required.

  1. Advancements in Hair Cloning: Hair cloning is an experimental procedure involving hair follicles to create new hair growth. While this technology is still in the experimental stages, researchers are making progress in developing new techniques and methods for hair cloning that could revolutionise the field of hair restoration.

Cloning of hair follicles will be years away, and then the use of it in actual patients will be even more.

So expect many years of wait for this.

These are some of the latest updates on FUE hair transplants. As the field of hair restoration continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more advancements and innovations in the years to come.
