µGraft FUE Hair Transplant System and Its Advantages
Of all the achievements in medical science, FUE hair transplantation is one of the most impressive procedures. Follicular Unit Extraction hair transplant surgery provides natural and optimal results without the linear scar that Follicular Unit Strip Surgery (FUSS) produces. However, like any other surgical technique, FUE also comes with its own list of advantages and disadvantages.
But today, many FUE practitioners have innovated new tools and techniques to create more benefits and offer larger sessions with optimal results. The µGraft is one of many advanced extraction devices that can be used during the FUE hair transplant procedure.
What Is A µGraft Method?
The µGraft was innovated by recommended hair restoration surgeon and FUE specialist Dr Sanusi Umar. The µGraft device aims to improve on the existing benefits of FUE tools by making the extraction process easier and more efficient.
Benefits Of µGraft FUE Hair Transplant Method:
Advance punching technique
According to Dr Umar, the µGraft device incorporates many unique features. Unlike traditional practice that uses straight punches, µGraft employs an advanced cutting axis away from the graft to create a gentle pulling action on follicle. This minimizes the risk of any damage to the grafts. This gentle pulling action also offers advantages to beard and body hair transplants where hair follicles curve beneath the skin.
Irrigation System
Another outstanding advantage of the µGraft is its irrigation system. Some of the important benefits of the system are listed below.
First, the impacted grafts get gently removed from the punch without damaging the skin, while other methods using tweezers could potentially cause trauma.
Second, the irrigation system leaves a thin film of chilled physiologic fluid after every punch that helps the graft survive between the time of the scoring and the actual extraction (a critical time interval crucial to FUE hair growth yield).
Third, the film lubricates the area to be grafted and reduces the time it takes in punching.
Finally, it creates a seal that helps in removing grafts from the tissue attachment through a simple pulling action.
Bottom line:
Dr Umar favors the µGraft method that he has been using for several years on patients quite successfully as he has a proven track record of producing outstanding results. He also believes that it is the most superior of all the other existing punching systems present in the industry. Though, he asks patient to remain unbiased and select the experienced and proficient hair restoration surgeon rather than giving stress to the tools and techniques used by them.
