What is Hair Transplant?
Hair transplant is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring hair growth in areas where it has been lost or thinned out. Skin Experts Polyclinic employs advanced techniques like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), No Shave FUE and the Strip technique to achieve natural-looking results.
Am I a Good Candidate?
- Good candidates for hair transplant procedures would typically include individuals who experience hair loss or thinning in areas like the scalp, eyebrows, beard, mustache, or scarred areas.
- Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and the Strip technique are suitable for individuals with sufficient donor hair at the back of the scalp.
- FUE offers a less invasive option with minimal scarring, while the Strip technique may be preferred by those with longer hair who don’t want to shave their heads.
- No Shave FUE is an option for individuals with smaller transplant cases who want to maintain longer hair without a full shave.
- Consultation with a specialist at Skin Experts polyclinic is recommended for personalized assessment and recommendation based on individual circumstances.
Benefits:
- Natural-looking results achieved through advanced techniques like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and micrografting.

More Details:
At the Skin Experts polyclinic, we use the most refined transplantation techniques to provide superb results for even the most challenging cases and areas including eyebrows, beard, and moustache or scarred areas.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is the ideal technique whereby hair is removed from the donor back area of the scalp using a very small punch. The donor area heals with no linear scar, and only small white points remain, that are covered with hair 1 mm or longer. The hairs are then prepared and separated under the microscope and reimplanted into the balding areas in the form of micrografts. Dr. Touma specializes in micrografting, which is the implantation of single hairs one at a time to obtain the most naturally looking hairline. The whole procedure is done under local anesthesia and with very little inconvenience post-operatively. One or two sessions are generally enough for most people. The hallmark of Dr. Touma’s work is his signature hairline, with results that look extremely natural for life.
The Strip technique is the traditional method of hair transplantation that involves removing a strip of permanent hair-bearing skin from the donor site in the back of the head. The strip is closed in a refined way with sutures and heals as a very thin line of approximately 1 mm that is covered by hair 3 mm or longer. Strip hair implants are recommended for women and men with long hair to avoid shaving their hair prior to transplantation.
No shave FUE is a technique that allows patients to have FUE’s without shaving their head. Small areas of the scalp less than 1cm in size are shaved and are scattered throughout the donor area in the sides and back of the head. The FUE’s are delicately removed, and the long unshaved hair covers those areas. Up to 800-1000 grafts can be removed this way, which is sufficient for smaller transplant cases. For larger cases, the no-shave FUE technique can be repeated monthly over time to achieve a large number of transplanted hairs.
Restore your hair the right way the first time!
Many commercial hair transplantation centers advertise heavily, promoting very cheap fees. Patients often travel to these countries and return with unsatisfactory results, due to poor technique or wrong hairline placement or both, leading to a ’transplanted look’, or a depleted donor area with visible hair loss caused by over harvesting or removing way too many grafts period. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. A hair transplant is a lifetime decision, and will last forever. Dr. Touma has not only perfected the technical and medical aspect of personalized hair restoration, he has a keen sense of elegance that will guarantee you a very natural hair transplant, at fees that are very reasonable compared to other world class practices. Patients are usually looking so natural, even hair transplant surgeons cannot guess they had any work done and this is priceless!
