Donor hair follicles are usually removed from the back and sides of your head (or rarely from other parts of the body.)<\/p>\n<p>At the CHTC we excel at both the art and science of hair transplantation. The art is to move the follicles to create a perfectly natural look and to gain the most cosmetic benefit from each graft that is transplanted. The science is to ensure the maximum survival of the transplanted grafts and the minimum disruption of the donor area.<br \/>\n<a name=\"planning\"><\/a><\/p>\n<hr style=\"border: 2px solid #5a9f2a;\" \/>\n<h6><strong><span style=\"color: #5a9f2a;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2680 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/chtc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Dr._Simmons_planning.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"150\" \/>Planning Your Hair Transplant<\/span><\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><em>Things that we consider in planning and designing your hair transplant include:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your current pattern and degree of loss.<\/li>\n<li>Your potential for future loss based on current signs, your age, and your family history.<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2683 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/chtc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Ready_to_go.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"150\" \/>Your hair density and hair qualities.<\/li>\n<li>How important certain areas are to you, and how dense you need the hair to be in those areas.<\/li>\n<li>The shape of your face and head (to determine the level and shape of your new hairline).<\/li>\n<li>How you will look when you get older.<\/li>\n<li>Your natural hair direction.<\/li>\n<li>Your hair styling preferences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We also have to figure out how many procedures you may wish to have (and how many you can afford) in your lifetime.<a name=\"techniques\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>For more details about planning for men, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/chtc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Planning_For_Men.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>click here to download a PDF file<\/u><\/a><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>For more details about planning for women, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/chtc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Planning_For_Women.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>click here to download a PDF file<\/u><\/a><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr style=\"border: 2px solid #5a9f2a;\" \/>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #5a9f2a;\"><strong>Our Techniques<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2702\" src=\"https:\/\/chtc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Staff_readying_transplants.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"133\" \/>At the Canadian Hair Transplant Centre, we believe that Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation (FUT) gives the best and most natural results for most patients.<\/p>\n<p>Follicular units are natural bundles of 1 to 3 or more hair follicles. We are consistently meticulous about our technique so that you can get the best possible results.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2703 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/chtc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Dr._Simmons_planting.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"132\" height=\"198\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are two ways to get follicular units for transplantation: <strong><span style=\"color: #5a9f2a;\">FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation, or &#8216;strip harvesting&#8217;)<\/span><\/strong> and <strong><span style=\"color: #5a9f2a;\">FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #5a9f2a;\">FUT<\/span><\/strong> is reliable, efficient, and less expensive than FUE. FUE may have certain advantages in specific situations and is the recognized gold standard method. After you are completely numb, a narrow, long, shallow strip of skin is removed from your donor area. The resulting gap is closed by suturing the skin edges together.<\/p>\n<p>A narrow 1-2 mm scar will result but it can be easily hidden-even by short hair. The harvested strip is then dissected into follicular unit grafts using microscopes to aid in visualization. Microscopic visualization is essential to ensure that follicles are not damaged, and that ideal grafts are prepared to ensure excellent survival. Tiny holes are made in the numb recipient area, then the grafts are placed into the holes. No visible scarring will be seen in the recipient area and, after the hair grows, you will have natural-looking hair.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #5a9f2a;\">FUE<\/span><\/strong> is a newer method that involves removing individual follicular units from the donor area and leaving the tiny holes to close and heal by themselves. If you have very short hair, the tiny resulting scars will be less noticeable than the long, narrow scar from FUT. The follicular unit grafts will be checked and trimmed under microscopic visualization before being placed into tiny holes in the recipient area.<\/p>\n<p>We may perform other techniques for a few patients for specific reasons.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more details about techniques, <a href=\"https:\/\/chtc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Techniques.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><u>click here to download a PDF file<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr style=\"border: 2px solid #5a9f2a;\" \/>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #5a9f2a;\"><strong>Concerns<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #6f3807;\">Risks<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nHair transplantation is inherently a very safe procedure.
