Latest technology used for hair transplant in Riyadh

The latest technologies for hair transplants in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, generally revolve around advancements of the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method, aiming for higher precision, better graft survival, and faster recovery.

The most prominent and advanced techniques available in Riyadh clinics often include:

1. Direct Hair Implantation (DHI):

• What it is: A specialized FUE technique where extracted hair follicles are implanted directly into the recipient area using a tool called a Choi Implanter Pen.
• 
  
• Advantage: This method allows the surgeon to control the depth, angle, and direction of the implanted hair more precisely, potentially leading to a denser and more natural-looking result, often without the need to shave the entire head.
• 
  

1. Sapphire FUE:

• What it is: An enhancement of the traditional FUE method. Instead of using classic steel blades, the surgeon uses special blades made from a sapphire gemstone to create the micro-incisions in the recipient area.
• 
  
• 
  
• Advantage: Sapphire blades are sharper and smoother, creating more precise, smaller micro-channels. This can lead to less tissue trauma, minimal scarring, faster healing, and the ability to achieve a higher density of hair.

1. Robotic Hair Transplant (e.g., ARTAS System):

• What it is: A sophisticated procedure where an AI-powered robotic system assists the surgeon, primarily in the extraction phase (FUE) and sometimes in recipient site creation.
• 
  
• Advantage: It offers high precision and consistency in graft extraction, reducing human error and fatigue, which can lead to a lower graft transection (damage) rate and potentially better graft survival.

1. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE):

• While FUE is the foundation, it remains the most common and minimally invasive method. Latest practices often utilize advanced instruments like micro-motors and finer punch sizes for extraction to ensure minimal scarring and quicker recovery.

Many clinics in Riyadh also incorporate Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy as a complementary treatment alongside these transplant procedures to promote faster healing and enhance the growth of transplanted and existing hair.
