All hair transplantation surgeries, including follicular unit transplantation (FUT), follicular unit extraction (FUE), and robotic follicular unit extraction, are mainly based on the principle of “donor area advantage”. The concept of “supply area advantage” was first expounded by Dr. Norman Orentaich in his 1959 paper on supply area advantage. In his paper, he pointed out that since the genetic predisposition to hair loss exists in the hair follicles, no matter where it is transplanted to the scalp, the hair will maintain the characteristics of the donor area.
The historical evolution of hair transplantation technology
Over the years, hair transplantation surgery has undergone significant changes. In the early days, larger grafts were used in transplant surgeries, which would make patients look unnatural. But as time went by, the grafts became smaller and the surgery became more effective. In the technologically advanced 21st century, significant progress has been made in the field of hair transplantation. Nowadays, through a carefully designed surgical process, hair is transplanted as individual follicle units, which can create a complete and natural hairline for patients.
MedLinks’ expertise in FUT surgery
At MedLinks, our surgeons are highly skilled in follicular unit transplantation (FUT) surgery. This surgery was originally developed based on the research results of Dr. Bobby Limer. During the operation, doctors will extract hair from the donor band through stereomicroscopic technology. Although a tiny linear scar that is almost invisible may be left after the surgery, it remains one of the best and most cost-effective hair repair surgeries.
The birth of FUE technology and the innovation of MedLinks
Because FUT surgery has the drawback of leaving scars, Dr. Ray Woods from Australia invented a hair transplantation surgery that directly extracts individual hair follicle units from the scalp. Dr. Bernstein and Dr. Lasman further delved into this technique and introduced the follicular unit extraction (FUE) surgery in their publication.
MedLinks’ technical achievements in the field of hair transplantation
The surgeons at MedLinks are experts in performing follicular unit extraction (FUE) surgeries and have successfully completed nearly 240 operations. We have also pioneered the Perfect – i FUE hair transplantation technology, which is an extremely precise and advanced surgery that enables the immediate implantation of extracted hair follicles.
