Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia is the most common cause of hair loss in men, as the percentage of men who experience some male pattern hair loss reaches about 60%.
Hair loss can be a major concern to many, and hair transplantation surgery is the most common, at the same time the most effective procedure to handle this problem.
You may have run into a lot of products that are being marketed as a treatment for hair loss, such as, shampoos, some oils, or laser combs, however, all of these products haven’t been proven to be clinically effective in general, and thus hair transplantation is now the best treatment for those who complain of hair loss.
What causes male pattern balding?
The increase in androgenic hormones in men has a major effect on hair follicles that are genetically susceptible. As for women, the same applies to them, but female blood does not contain androgenic hormones with a high concentration.

After extracting the follicles, they are kept in a special solution, which is the same solution used to preserve organs during transplant procedures, to keep grafts healthy.
In DHI technique using Choi pens, fine slits are opened and the grafts implanted in the same step, while in the SAPPHIRE FUE technique, a sharp-headed tool made from sapphire stone is used to open the fine slits, and this tool has the advantage of opening the fine slits so smoothly causing no damage or scars, then the grafts are implanted into those fine slits.
In this step, the extracted follicles are Implanted into the opened slits, and given that the last couple steps are the most important ones, they require high skills, as the surgeon takes into consideration, the density, esthetic results, and natural hair growth.
