An Overview of Hair Transplantation

Other than investing in a hairpiece or deciding to always wear a hat - surgical hair transplantation is presently the only long lasting solution for balding or thinning hair. Dr. Ahmed's transplant techniques can restore, reshape and add density to your lost hair and hairline, by utilizing your own, natural, growing hair.  Those newly transplanted hairs need no more care than ordinary washing, styling and trimming as you have always done.  Dr Ahmed Chaudhry has perfected this latest technique so well, that even your hairstylist will have a hard time determining whether you have actually had a transplant. By taking advantage of nature’s own building blocks, The Ahmed Chaudhry hair transplant technique provides results so natural that the transplanted hair is virtually undetectable from your own naturally growing non-transplanted hair. The end result is your own natural hair growing the way nature created hair to look, feel and grow.

The Exciting Growth of Hair Transplant Technologies

In the last few years groundbreaking advances that were perfected by Dr. Ahmed Chaudhry, have dramatically improved hair transplant effectiveness and appearances. Virtually undetectable hair grafts have replaced the obvious and unsightly hair “plugs” from years ago or the recent micro/mini grafting.  At Cosmoderma Clinique, Hair Transplant & Laser Cosmetic Surgery Center, Lahore, Pakistan, we have gone even further and are currently performing the ultra-refined follicular unit transplantation.

Microscopic dissection process

The most modern of the technologies, the gold standard, is Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation and the Ultra-Refined Follicular Unit Transplantation. This process involves the precise dissection of the donor strip, into individual grafts while maintaining all of the components that provide strength and vitality. This state-of-the-art process optimally ensures survival and growth of the transplanted hair.

During the Micro-Follicular Unit Restoration Process - thousands of tiny living hairs are dissected into grafts "Follicular Units" each containing 1, 2 or 3 hairs. The intact follicular units are placed closely together on the scalp in an irregular pattern – mimicking natural hair growth. They can be precisely inserted into areas of hair loss in such a manner that the outcome is incredibly natural looking.  The density of the newly placed grafts can vary depending on individual needs and goals.  We like to dense pack the hairline in densities varying from 60-100 grafts per cm/2 .  We use follicular unit grafting exclusively.

 

No two patients are alike and therefore we tailor the treatment accordingly. Hence, When deciding on the level of density for a specific patient we look at that patient’s characteristics, such as donor density, age, hair quality, hair color and ultimately the patient goals.

Ahmed Chaudhry’s Micro-Dissection Process

The Ahmed Chaudhry Hair Transplant Institute, it’s not just the artistry we use to place hair grafts, it’s the amazing care and the extra effort we take to ensure the highest performance of the hair we are using for the transplant.

Stereoscopic microscope

Conventional, naked eye method of hair dissection can damage many tender follicles - due to poor visualization and undue stress on the grafts. However, to reduce follicle damage, Dr. Ahmed Chaudhry uses the Micro-Dissection Process - where each and every graft is meticulously sculpted under a powerful stereoscopic microscope that magnifies the work being done.

This leading-edge process helps to save up to 20% more of the hairs that could have been damaged using less sophisticated methods.

Ultimately the Micro-Dissection Process allows us to better identify each hair during the dissection giving our patients more hair over other non-microscopic dissection techniques. Using this precise process allows the Ahmed Chaudhry Hair Transplant Institute staff to place thousands of grafts closer together to create a fuller, more natural looking hair transplant. It is this intense preparation of the grafts that allows us to dense pack the recipient area to allow a single pass surgery.
