Facing Hair Loss Problems?

Over 40% of men have noticeable hair loss by age 35 and 65% by age 60. In the United States alone, hair loss affects about 40 million men and 20 million women. Hair loss occurs when the rate of shedding exceeds the rate of re-growth; when new hair is thinner than the hair shed or when the hair falls out in patches.

Patterns of Hair Loss
1. Male pattern baldness (also known as Androgenetic Alopecia) represents about 90% of all hair loss due to hormone Testosterone.
2. Telogen Effluvium, which occurs 2 – 4 months after childbirth or from acute illness, crash dieting, physical and emotional stress.
3. Alopecia Areata involves hair loss in one of more round spots on the scalp, caused by an abnormality in the immune system.

What is Hair Transplantation?
The most common and most reliable surgical treatment for hair loss is hair transplantation. Nearly 300,000 procedures are performed annually in United States. The basis for hair transplantation is that when hair is taken from donor areas where hair continues to be abundant, such as the back of the head and is planted in areas of hair loss, the transplanted hair will take on the characteristics of the donor area and will continue to grow. Now! OmnigraftTM Automated Hair Transplantation is the latest, fastest and less invasive surgery.

Omnigraft Automated Hair Transplantation
Omnigraft Automated Hair Transplantation is an Automated Follicular Unit Extraction (F.U.E) technique. It is a robot using micro-instruments to remove follicular units, which makes surgery simpler, faster, and less debilitating for the patient, with more convincing aesthetic results. The hairs taken are immediately sucked up into a sterile catheter and transferred to a small hand-piece that pushes the hair into a small reception orifice by simple pressure.

Advantages of Follicular Unit Extraction (F.U.E)
º Less invasive
º Reduces operating time
º No visible scars
º Little or no post-operative pain
º Patient can choose the number of hairs transplanted per session
º Quality of follicular units taken is guaranteed, together with optimal vascularisation & growth
º No general anaesthesia
º Suitable for males & females
º Hair transplantation results are permanent (grow for the rest of your life)
