OUR SURGICAL APPROACHES
Surgical Methods
SIGNATURE FOCUS
1DAY Non-Shaven FUE
Ideal for patients who want to return to work the next day with minimal visible signs of surgery. Because the donor area remains unshaven, the procedure is discreet, helping preserve your existing hairstyle during recovery.
FOLLICULAR UNIT EXTRACTION
Shaven FUE
Our physician uses a fine instrument, less than one millimeter in diameter, to harvest individual follicular units from your scalp. This tool creates a small circular incision around each unit, allowing for precise graft isolation. The grafts are then extracted with a tweezer-like instrument and meticulously prepared by our team of expert technicians. They ensure each follicular unit, containing 1-4 hairs, is in prime condition for transplantation. The strategic placement of these units by our Dream physicians is what delivers natural-looking results and showcases our artistic excellence.
STRIP HARVESTING
FUT / FUSS with KNP Closure
The Follicular Unit Strip Surgery (FUSS) technique involves extracting a strip of tissue from the back of the head, which serves as a rich source of donor hair follicles. Our expert team meticulously harvests the follicles from this strip, preparing them for individual transplantation. FUSS is often the method of choice for advanced hair loss, as it maximizes the use of the scalp area to meet patient expectations. This method generally allows for the largest number of grafts to be transplanted in one session, making it highly efficient.
COMBINED APPROACH
Hybrid Technique
Our clinic offers the best of both worlds with our hybrid hair transplant surgery. This innovative approach combines the high-volume graft benefits of FUSS and the precision and naturalness of FUE. By integrating these methods, we can maximize density, coverage, and the overall aesthetic of the transplanted area for superior results.

IMPLANTER PEN TECHNIQUE
Implanter Pen
Implanter Pen
Hair Transplantation
An implantation technique using a specialized pen-shaped instrument to place harvested follicular units into the recipient area.
ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE
How Does the Implanter Pen Technique Work?
The implanter pen technique involves loading harvested follicular units into a specialized implantation device and inserting them into the recipient scalp.
The instrument allows the surgeon to create an implantation opening and place the follicular unit as part of the same insertion process.
This approach may provide flexibility when adjusting the implantation angle, direction, and placement of individual grafts.
STEP BY STEP
3 Steps of Implanter Pen Transplantation
STEP 01
Loading the Follicular Unit
A harvested and prepared follicular unit is carefully loaded into the implanter pen.
STEP 02
Follicular Unit Implantation
The follicular unit is inserted into the recipient area while considering the planned hair direction and position.
STEP 03
Completing the Implantation
The instrument is withdrawn, leaving the follicular unit in place. Graft positioning is checked as needed.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
Individualized Implantation Planning
The implanter pen technique requires consideration of graft handling, instrument size, implantation depth, angle, and hair direction.
Its suitability for increasing density between existing hairs or limiting shaving depends on the patient's scalp condition, donor characteristics, and overall surgical plan.
