Hairline design at Prohairclinic – where artistic skills and experience meet
Where to start when designing a hairline?
First of
all we listen to our patients needs and desires, that is key to success in the
run.
Sabine,
member of Prohairclinic since 2004, has been doing 99% of all the hairline
designs at our institute, experience is guaranteed. She implements the artistic
skills along with the technical details in order to get that perfect hairline.
A perfect hairline however is very personal and also highly dependent on a lot
of other determining factors such as age, donor management, level of hair loss
and last but not least personal requests …
Drawing that hairline on the scalp
A hairline
design is ideally performed with outgrown existing hairs. This makes determining
the implant area easier. Furthermore the density assessment is easier with
existing hairs outgrown. Below the example of the design. The extra lines on the
forehead are used for symmetry measurement.
Mapping the treatment area
The next
step into hairline design and treatment preparation involves mapping the areas
that need to be treated. This is ideally performed using a clear plastic sheet,
copying the 3D model of the area. Attention, some patient try to measure their
own area by mapping on pictures. These are NOT correct measurements since they
do not consider that the head is a 3D object.
Using specialized hair transplantation planning software
The plastic
sheet with the mapping read by a scanner and imported in specialized software
for hair transplantation mapping and density calculation. This makes highly
precise measurements possible and the computer will output the exact numbers
required during the session.
After the
treatment the area look reddish, typical of a high density implantation.
In
this example 3244 grafts
where placed in an area of 64.88 cm2 at 50 grafts per cm2.
