Why am I losing my hair?
Hair loss is often connected to hereditary factors and genetics.
Let’s talk about dihydrotestosterone and genetic hair loss. Di-what? Stay with us. Here’s what you should know:
- Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is an androgen hormone that’s derived from testosterone, and it’s strongly linked to hair loss. So if you find yourself noticing bald patches or frustrated at an undefined hairline, your genetic DHT levels may be to blame!
- Variations in our androgen receptor (AR) genes make some people more prone to DHT.
- DHT can bind to the receptors in hair follicles, shortening the growth cycle and shrinking hair follicles. This results in thinner, more fragile strands of hair that take longer to grow back in. Luckily, new innovative solutions for hair growth are here to offer real solutions, regardless of your genetic makeup.
Hair loss can also be linked to aging, medication, health issues, stress, thyroid issues, skin conditions, hormonal factors or nutrition. Most of us notice balding or patches of hair loss as we enter our 30s and 40s, for some people, balding starts during puberty. Hair loss usually starts at the crown of the head or the forehead.
A bright solution for lasting, long-term hair growth
Losing hair can affect confidence in all areas of life, and many solutions don’t offer the lasting, full results you’re looking for. We often see patients with concerns about hair loss who have been looking for a solution that goes beyond traditional hair plugs, regrowth serums, or products that don’t stand the test of time. Follicular Unit Extraction offers long-term results to move your hairline back to where it was, restoring a younger-looking, healthy hairline.
What is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)?
The cornerstone of our hair restoration program is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), during which hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (often the back and sides of the head) and implanted precisely where you need enhanced growth.
- Traditionally, this is a lengthy procedure performed by hand by a technician. By introducing innovative technology we remove the risk of human error and use machine intelligence to restore hair growth and rebuild a receding hairline.
- Dr. Brandt uses ARTAS Artificial Intelligence™ algorithms to identify healthy hair follicles on your scalp, protect the hair you have, and intelligently harvests existing hair to transplant it into thinning areas.
How does Follicular Unit Extraction work?
FUE or robotic hair restoration is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed in our Toronto clinic. Here’s what you can expect from start to finish:
Consultation and hairline assessment
- You’ll come in for a consultation with Dr. Brandt to undergo a scalp and hair assessment, have a conversation about your goals and concerns, and receive a customized hair growth plan unique to your needs.
- Dr. Brandt will discuss the number of grafts recommended, and the optimal hairline design to optimize your results.
Treatment, harvesting and restoring
- The high definition stereoscopic vision system utilizes ARTAS Artificial Intelligence™ algorithms to identify and select the best hair follicles for harvesting.
- Hair is intelligently harvested with robotic precision to preserve the natural look of your donor area (the area we take the healthy hair from). The ARTAS System provides robotic speed and accuracy unmatched by hand-held techniques.
- A customized hairline is designed with the help of the ARTAS System’s Recipient Site Making technology under physician supervision. This creates optimal site distribution for harvested hair follicles and avoids damaging healthy hair.
What does Follicular Unit Extraction feel like?
The FUE procedure is performed under local anesthesia only, so you can relax comfortably and listen to music or your favourite podcast, or watch Netflix. Healing time is short; you’ll be up and about the next day, back to work in 2-5 days, and fully healed within 2 weeks. Since a robotic hair transplant harvests individual follicles rather than a large area of scalp, there is minimal scarring.
What makes a robotic hair transplant superior?
We know a robotic hair transplant can sound intimidating, but the results are incredible and paired with a thoughtful specialist who will supervise your treatment. With state of the art robotics and AI technology, we’ve made incredible improvements to the speed, accuracy, and long-term results of your FUE hair transplant. Dr. Brandt brings a wealth of experience and expertise to each FUE procedure and partners with this modern technology to bring you the best results. He’s also successfully undergone this process himself.
- Precise, accurate hair follicle selection: Artificial Intelligence algorithms identify and select the healthiest, strongest hair follicles for harvesting, beyond what the human eye can see. A complete scan of your hair follicles let us identify with incredible accuracy and preserve all the hair you have already.
- Consistent, healthy-looking results: Robotic precision allows for perfectly randomized extraction and implantation, creating natural, undetectable results. Even the most skilled or highly-trained technician is subject to natural human error of fatigue, and since this process is incredibly meticulous, using this technology removes the risk.
- Improved survival rates for hair follicles: Because the follicles are transplanted so consistently, their survival rates greatly improve compared to hand-held work.
How much does follicular unit extraction cost?
The price of the procedure varies based on individual factors, but generally ranges from $10,000 -$15,000 for the full procedure. With FORM Face + Body, you get the added benefit of our advanced technology and natural-looking results.
