The Bay Area Is Very “Techie” – And That Includes FUE for Hair Loss
We are very fortunate in the Bay Area to be surrounded by a lot of technology. We have Silicon Valley and San Francisco. We have the start-up and investor capital scene in and around Stanford University. And also, among the cool technologies is FUE – Follicular Unit Extraction – for hair loss.
Indeed, if you are suffering from hair loss, an FUE transplant in the Bay Area is available at Silicon Valley Hair Institute which is based in Foster City. An FUE transplant in the Bay area has so many advantages over and above a traditional transplant, which is an FUT transplant.
An FUT transplant is carried out manually by a skilled surgeon, and it involves removing a strip of hair from the back of the head which will be used by being cut into tiny follicular units of between one and four hairs. These are then transplanted by hand into the recipient site. This can be quite a long procedure, as you might imagine, as it involves very tiny follicular units being transplanted one at a time. This takes time in order to cover the bald areas of the head.
Now it follows that even the most highly skilled surgeon will gradually tire, and there are therefore likely to be small errors in the placement of the follicular units. This can result in the hair growing at a different angle or direction to existing hairs in the area. An FUT transplant will also leave a scar at the back of the head which is OK if you wear your hair fairly long, but if you want to cut it short, then the scar will become visible.
The 21st Century Alternative
An FUE transplant in the Bay Area is the 21st century alternative. It still requires hairs to be removed from one part of the head and transplanted to the balding areas, but the actual work is done by a robot!
Instead of removing a strip of hair from the back of the head, this clever robot removes tiny groups of one to four hairs individually and transplants them one by one. This means that there will be no visible scar whatsoever.
Furthermore, the robot plants the follicular units so that the hairs are at exactly the same angle, direction, and height of any existing hairs in the area. The procedure involves less pain and discomfort, and there is also less down time: you can go back to playing sport in a couple of days if you wish. Furthermore, the robot never gets tired! Robotic hair transplantation is definitely something you should consider.
