About
What is PRP?
Follicular Unit Strip Surgery (FUSS) Hair Transplant is frequently referred to as the “strip” hair transplant procedure. FUSS is an older means of extracting donor hair, whereby a surgeon excises a linear strip of hair and tissue from the back of the scalp. This tissue is then dissected into individual follicular units, by surgical technicians, and then placed in thinning or balding recipient regions. Meanwhile, the wound is closed with the use of sutures.

What is Mesotherapy?
Serums with vitamins, antipigmentation agents, collagen inducers, enzymes and antioxidants are directly injected into your skin to help significantly with specific skin issues such as acne scarring, melasma, skin laxity etc. Regular mesotherapy can help your skin look more supple and younger even if you do not have any other skin concerns.
- Most patients that choose FUSS will need to keep their hair longer than they would need to with FUE to keep the linear scar hidden after the procedure. Here is an interesting article on how Rafael Nadal's Hair Transplant went.
About
What is COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY?
This is a way to stimulate your skin to produce more collagen. This can be done using dermapen combined with PRP or serums depending on what is most suitable for you. Dermapen is a hand held instrument which has many needles that penetrate your skin and cause microchannels. This allows for enhanced absorption of the serums or products and it also directly stimulates your collagen by causing these microscopic pricks. This procedure should be done by a practitioner who knows how to handle your skin type so that you can get the best results.
One week before the surgery

Two weeks before and after the surgery
Stop the intake of aspirin, thinner, & ibuprofen.
Three weeks before the surgery

About
Is Dermapen painful?
No. This is an absolutely painless procedure even though it involves needles because you are completely numbed before the procedure. This makes it comfortable and easy. Regular Collagen Induction Therapy will give you more youthful looking skin. In addition Dermapen therapy can also be used to treat acne scarring, pigmentation and other skin concerns. A consultation with the doctor will make you more aware if you are suitable for the procedure or not.
