Advantages of SmartGraft
SmartGraft at Defiage Med Spa in Houston is among the most advanced hair restoration systems available today, delivering impressive, natural-looking results without the hassle of other hair transplant procedures. There are several advantages of SmartGraft over traditional hair restoration methods that patients benefit from.
Minimally Invasive
Being a minimally invasive procedure, this does not require any incisions or stitches. There is less trauma to the scalp during graft extraction and transplantation, reducing the risk of scarring and infection.
Faster Recovery
Because SmartGraft is a minimally invasive procedure, the recovery is short, with much faster healing than traditional hair restoration methods. Patients can typically return to their normal activities within a few days.
Natural-Looking Results
This procedure is designed to provide natural-looking results that are virtually indistinguishable from natural hair. The hair transplant device allows us to extract the grafts during hair transplantation with precision, ensuring that the new hair grows in the same direction and at the same angle as the surrounding hair.
No Linear Scar
Unlike other hair restoration methods that leave a linear scar on the scalp, SmartGraft uses micro grafts, leaving only tiny, circular scars that are virtually invisible. This means that patients can wear their hair short or long without worrying about visible scarring.
Single visit
The entire process can be completed in a single session, which typically takes between 4 to 8 hours depending on the extent of the hair loss. The shorter procedure time minimizes the risk of poor growth quality.
Versatile
This can be used to restore hair loss in a variety of areas, including the hairline, crown, and eyebrows. This makes it a versatile solution for patients with different types and degrees of hair loss.
How does SmartGraft work?
SmartGraft is a revolutionary hair restoration system that uses advanced technology to harvest hair follicles from the donor site and implant them in the balding area. The SmartGraft device allows the surgeon to visualize and extract individual hair follicles with precision. This minimizes the trauma to the donor area, reduces the risk of scarring, and ensures a natural appearance.
The harvested hair follicles are then implanted into the balding areas using the implantation device. This device harvests the individual hair follicles and stores them in a safe environment, preserving the health for transplantation. The follicles are then carefully placed, ensuring that they are properly aligned and positioned for optimal growth.
SmartGraft vs Traditional procedures
SmartGraft is a form of follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant, using state-of-the-art technology to provide a minimally invasive hair restoration technique that differs from the inferior follicular unit transplantation (FUT).
Here are some of the key differences between SmartGraft FUE and FUT hair restoration procedures.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) with SmartGraft
This hair restoration procedure involves harvesting individual hair follicles or small groups of up to 4, for precise transplantation into areas of the scalp experiencing balding or thinning. By carefully placing each follicular unit graft with its original grouping, SmartGraft achieves a natural-looking hairline, and greater control during the implantation of micro hair grafts.
Compared to invasive procedures, SmartGraft is the least invasive hair transplant procedure and offers minimal scarring and discomfort with no incisions needed. You can enjoy amazing results in a comfortable procedure with a quick recovery time.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
FUT hair grafts, sometimes called strip harvesting, strip method, or the traditional strip harvest, involve the removal of a strip of skin tissue to extract follicles of hair for transplantation. This technique leaves linear scarring on the back of the head where the strips of hair were harvested. This will be visible, especially if you prefer shorter hairstyles.
Although FUT can be effective, the recovery time can be longer, and patients may experience increased pain and swelling at the incision site, with a noticeable scar.
Which is better?
SmartGraft FUE is a popular and unrivaled hair transplantation procedure because it offers all the advantages of FUE and combines them with the latest technology to make the process more efficient, accurate, and comfortable for patients.
Overall, SmartGraft is the superior choice due to its minimally invasive nature, precision, efficiency, natural-looking results, and versatility.
How long does SmartGraft take?
The entire process can be completed in a single session in our med spa in Houston TX, which typically takes between 4 to 8 hours depending on the extent of the hair loss. SmartGraft is an efficient and effective way to restore hair loss in less time.
