Here at Hair By Dr. Max, we strive to not only achieve excellence with surgical and nonsurgical treatments for hair loss, but also educate other doctors about the newest methods of harvesting and implantation. That is why we created a training facility for Direct Graft Implantation.
Direct Graft Implantation is one of the most advanced methods to implant hair. This procedure can be done robotically or manually using implanters. For this purpose, Dr. Max has developed his own system that will:
- Simplify the loading of grafts
- Mitigate any chance of hair graft injury, thus maximizing survival rate
- Provide ergonomic methods during the entire procedure
- Transplant over 1000 grafts per hour
- Provide the proprietary technology to increase density during Direct Graft Implantation
Our facility delivers full training that covers everything from the basics, to more advanced stages of Direct Graft
The Direct Graft Implantation refers to the graft insertion technique used during a hair transplant procedure. Traditionally, grafts were implanted into premade incisions with the use of forceps. However, there is an issue that arises with this traditional method of graft implantation. Due to the fact that in this approach, grafts are handled by forceps and need to be placed into premade incisions, there is more chance of mechanical injury to the delicate structures of the graft. This can result in significant damage, preventing proper growth.
As opposed to the traditional method, Direct Graft Implantation involves the grafts being loaded into special implants, and then inserted directly into the treated area. As seen in the video, the Direct Graft Implantation method eliminates any possibility of graft injury during insertion. Other advantages of said approach include a more natural appearance since there is no incision being made in order to insert the graft. Additionally, angles of insertion and optimal graft distribution can be easily maintained, resulting in a more natural appearance of the hairline. Dr. Max dedicates significant time into research and development of the most advanced hair implantation techniques.
In the DGI Hair Transplant technique, a patented tool is used to plant each hair follicle, one by one, right into the scalp without making any slits. Aside from the use of this tool, an automatic hair transplant system can also be used – a robotic system that calculates the depth and angle required for every hair follicle. Here at Hair By Dr. Max, we take pride in knowing we offer the latest technology in hair loss solutions, the Artas iX Robotic Hair Restoration System.
ADVANTAGES OF DIRECT GRAFT IMPLANTATION
The advantages of DGI Hair Transplant include:
- No Scarring: Incisions are practically associated with scaring. For that reason, the DGI hair transplant method utilizes a sharp implanter method. Thus, the need for incisions is eliminated, therefore reducing the risk of scarring.
- Consistent Results: As a modernized technique, the DGI implanter controls the angle, depth, and trend of the planted hair follicles. This control allows the new hairs to grow just like your natural hair. When the hair tissues and roots are allocated to the operation area, the growth angle, colours, and the hair’s natural direction are taken into account. This results in natural results in all sensitive regions of the scalp, including temples and hairline. Again, there are no scars or stitches with the DGI transplant, meaning you’ll recover quickly.
- No Grooving Or Suture Is Performed: This results in no traces of scarring after the operation. So you are able to return to your daily activities within a short time.
- Compatibility With Celebrity or No-Shave Hair Transplant: Because there is no need to make incisions prior to placing, the DGI method allows proper blending into the patient’s existing hairline. In turn, the newly implanted hair perfectly matches the density, angles, and natural appearance.
