Hair loss is a prevalent issue affecting individuals across all demographics, regardless of age or gender. As it progresses, the condition often leads to diminished self-esteem and increased social withdrawal due to its psychological and social ramifications. Despite the variety of treatments available, hair transplantation remains the preferred choice for many experiencing hair loss.
Hair transplantation has evolved significantly from its initial invasive techniques to the advanced Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) methods used today. Unlike earlier methods that required surgical scalpels, FUE techniques avoid incisions and sutures. Recent innovations, including robotic-assisted hair transplantation, have further enhanced the procedure’s efficiency, allowing for large-scale transplants in a single session.
The FUE technique involves the precise extraction of individual hair follicles, which are then implanted into areas suffering from hair loss. This minimally invasive approach reduces tissue damage, thus improving the survival rate of transplanted follicles. It also eliminates scarring and facilitates a quicker recovery, enabling patients to resume their normal activities sooner. However, FUE is not ideal for individuals with extensive hair loss due to the limited number of grafts that can be transplanted in one session.
A recent breakthrough from Motion Clinic has demonstrated the capability to perform mass hair transplantation, with over 4,000 follicles successfully transplanted in a single session using the FUE method.
A spokesperson from Motion Clinic highlighted their achievement: “We have completed over 26,000 FUE hair transplants, totaling more than 50,000,000 follicles. This marks a significant clinical milestone for our clinic and underscores the effectiveness and safety of our procedures.” The clinic employs the i-direct system, which facilitates the transplantation of up to 4,000 follicles per day using the FUE technique. This system is particularly beneficial for patients needing corrective surgeries and those who prefer not to shave their heads prior to the procedure, as it ensures a prompt return to daily activities without visible signs of surgery.
Dr. Song Woon-hyun, director of Motion Clinic, emphasized the importance of selecting the appropriate hair transplant technique: “While advancements in hair transplant technology offer promising solutions, it is crucial for patients to choose a procedure based on their specific needs. The expertise of the medical team and the clinical outcomes should be primary considerations when selecting a clinic, rather than focusing solely on the benefits of a particular technique.”
