Hair
Transplant today has moved a long way from the past
“pluggy” appearance; the movement of natural
genetic Follicular Units (FU/grafts) now allows for
the natural placement of the FU that mimics nature.
Dr
Bisanga feels a great part of a hair transplant result
is not just the medical ability of the doctor but the
amount of artistic understanding the doctor has when
designing a new head of hair; and this is vitally important
with hair line placement. At BHR we understand that
everyone is individual and that creativity is important
to personality with great importance placed on the aesthetic
quality of the result. In some ways the creation of
a head of hair is a work of art, and the art does not
need to be innovative to be good but it has to be natural.
We are dedicated to push the boundaries of excellence
in this area and mix with our medical and technical
prowess to achieve world renowned results.
Technical
ability then becomes important in being able to mimic
nature to create the look of fullness from the hair
at our disposal. To dense pack follicular units is an
art and skill in its own right; the closer the slits
are made the greater care has to be taken not to impair
adjacent slits or hair groups. This technique is imperative
to reaching a result in “one pass” and not
having to return to the area potentially causing unnecessary
trauma to the skin.
Slit
placement and angulations will change dependent on genre
and positioning on the scalp, especially in temple point
reconstruction and crown rebuilding; although there
can be some “poetic licence” nature has
to be followed especially when placing within existing
hair. In some case using a little creativity can expand
the coverage of an amount of grafts whilst still maintaining
the look of thickness and this is another reason when
judging results, never assume like for like, because
there is much more to a result than the simple placement
of the hair in the head.
The
term Mega Sessions is becoming more common in both
FUE & FUT Techniques, the ability to move mass
hair in one session. Dr Bisanga knows there is a fine
line between speed and quality, and the two do not
always mix. Paramount is the result and this must
always be in mind over numbers or speed. FUE is much
more labour intensive for the doctor as he should
be performing much of the procedure himself, punching,
extraction and slit placement, with the technicians
placing the grafts. If this is the case and a high
yield is expected consistently there will be a limit
to one man’s ability to constantly increase
the numbers. Strip/FUT is more reliant on the Medical
Team therefore much greater numbers can be placed
in one day, but this still relies on the Doctor controlling
and advising the Medical Team through the procedure,
like a well oiled machine, to ensure quality and numbers
go hand in hand.
A
hair transplant is not only about the result on the
top of your head, the donor area is just as important
and with technical improvements in tools size with
FUE and closure techniques for FUT, scarring is becoming
smaller and less detectable. FUE punch size has been
shown to be an important product in reducing the appearance
of scars, and in some cases make them invisible to
the eye. Dr Bisanga has been involved with FUE research
for many years and published research at International
Transplant meetings showing the effects the wrong
size tool can have on the donor area. The introduction
of the Tricophytic Closure, a technique used by BHR,
is used to minimise the look of the linear scar with
Strip procedures; this enables hair to grow back through
the line thus camouflaging the appearance more and
allowing the person to keep their hair shorter than
before.
When
combined, all of these aspects make for artistry and
medical ability coming together to produce a great result.
Our
mission is to bring to you the finest in H/T technology
and artistic design, along with the highest level of
care and attention. We pride ourselves on delivering
an all round service that will leave you with the most
natural head of hair possible with a service that offers
total transparency and your wellbeing is our paramount
concern.
Our
duty is to educate and provide you with the knowledge
