SmartGraft Hair Restoration vs. Microblading

SmartGraft Hair Restoration vs. Microblading

SmartGraft Hair Restoration vs. Microblading | Beverly HillsMicroblading hair restoration is a temporary hair pigmentation technique that may work only in smaller areas such as eyebrows. However, the results may still not be natural looking or sustainable.

SmartGraft hair restoration med spa procedure, on the other hand, is a safe and minimally invasive technique to achieve significant, long-lasting results that look completely natural.

Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie provides SmartGraft hair restoration to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, CA, and surrounding locations.

 

How SmartGraft Works

SmartGraft device is based on an innovative technology to restore the lost or thinning hair without involving the use of a scalpel. The minimally invasive approach of SmartGraft procedure ensures that the patient remains comfortable during as well as after the treatment.

Compared to traditional hair restoration procedures, the recovery time with SmartGraft is cut down from several weeks to just one or two days.

Highly precise and gentle extraction of the hair from the donor sites is possible with SmartGraft med spa technique. Its automated process ensures swift and efficient counting, sorting, and moistening of the hair grafts.

These grafts are then stored immediately in a sterile, controlled environment to improve their survival rate. As a result, patients can achieve thicker, fuller and more natural looking hair re-growth.

 

SmartGraft for Eyebrow Hair Restoration

SmartGraft can be a much more effective, aesthetically appealing and long lasting procedure for eyebrow hair restoration compared to Microblading.

SmartGraft makes use of a highly precise follicle implantation technique, where the patient experiences nothing more than a pinprick. Therefore, it does not leave behind any facial scarring.

SmartGraft provides a safe way to restore thick and natural looking brows that may have thinned due to age-related hair loss or years of plucking and waxing. Unlike microblading, the results with SmartGraft are more real looking because the brow restoration is done using the patient’s own real hair.

The procedure of brow hair restoration with SmartGraft is similar to the scalp restoration procedure. The treatment provider will apply a local anesthetic, and the patient will remain awake through the treatment session.

The benefit is that the patient can interact with the staff during the procedure to ensure the eyebrows take the exact desired shape.

In about three months after the SmartGraft treatment, patients will begin to notice new hair growth in the brows. In about 12 months, full hair restoration will usually happen. Some patients may seek a second SmartGraft treatment over time in order to achieve even thicker eyebrows.

 

Basic Responsibilities

The patient should trim the new transplanted brow hair periodically in order to retain the natural brow shape. Patients should discuss both SmartGraft and microblading treatment options with their provider at the time of initial consultation. The provider will help them make the appropriate choice according to their needs.

Fight Hair Loss With These 5 Treatments

Fight Hair Loss With These 5 Treatments | Beverly Hills Hair loss and hair thinning can be a frustrating aesthetic problem for any man or woman. However, the good news is that it is possible to fight hair loss and hair thinning, provided the patient seeks professional help at a reputable hair restoration med spa.

A number of treatment options are available today for hair restoration. The treatment provider will determine the appropriate option or a combination of treatments based on the underlying cause and extent of hair loss.

Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie provides hair restoration treatments to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, CA, and surrounding locations.

 

Dietary Supplements

A wide range of nutraceuticals and other dietary supplements are now available for supporting hair re-growth. These supplements are formulated with minerals and vitamins to promote the hair growth cycle and support the scalp.

Some of these supplements have shown to maintain hair in their growth phase or extend the hair growth cycle (which could have become shorter due to aging or other factors.)

Certain men’s supplements focus on reducing male pattern hair loss by blocking targeted hormones, while women’s supplements may be designed to reduce stress and inflammation that could be causing hair loss.

 

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

Human cells require WBCs, growth factors and other proteins to maximize their functional capacity. These elements are present in abundance in the bloodstream.

PRP therapy involves separating these vital components from the blood, and injecting them directly into the balding areas of the scalp to stimulate and rejuvenate the hair follicles.

The med spa treatment provider may recommend three monthly treatments initially. Additional PRP therapy sessions may be scheduled every quarter, but this will depend on the patient’s hair loss pattern and their individual response to the treatment.

 

SmartGraft

Traditional hair transplant surgery leaves a significant scar in the back of the scalp, and also involves extended downtime. SmartGraft hair restoration is an advanced and automated follicular unit extraction (FUE) technique that enables discreet moving of donor hair to the balding sites of the scalp without any scarring.

SmartGraft procedure ensures that the hair grafts remain sufficiently cooled and hydrated in order to improve their preservation rate during transplantation.

The result is thicker and more natural looking hair in a minimally invasive way. Patients can start experiencing new hair growth in about three months, and will obtain full results in 12 to 14 months.

 

Laser Therapy for Hair Re-growth

Advanced low-level laser therapy may be used individually or in combination with other treatments to promote hair re-growth. The low level laser device will deliver focused beams of laser energy to the scalp in a precise manner.

The laser heat will gently activate proteins and encourage scalp oxygenation to stimulate blood supply and deliver nutrition to the thinning or weak hair follicles.

 

Topical and Oral Medications

Over the counter Minoxidil (Rogaine) medication and prescription-based Finasteride (Propecia) may be recommended for hair loss and hair thinning for appropriate male and female candidates.

However, the limitation with these oral and topical treatments is that the hair re-growth is not permanent and the hair begins to fall again once the treatment is stopped. The patient should discuss with their treatment provider for the best options in their case.

Understanding Your Hair Restoration Options

Understanding Your Hair Restoration Options | Beverly Hills Treatment for hair loss will often depend on the underlying causes for the patient’s condition. An experienced med spa treatment provider will first try to determine the precise cause, and then recommend an appropriate hair restoration treatment option.

Sometimes, the provider may order blood tests to determine whether the endocrine system is functioning properly.

In rare cases, a scalp biopsy may be done. Once the hair loss cause is confirmed, the provider will discuss the hair transplant strategy with the patient.

Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT)

The FUT or the follicular unit transplant procedure involves removal of a strip of the scalp in the back of the head. The location for the stripping procedure is under the crown and between the ears.

After stripping, a microscope will be used to harvest the follicular units individually. These units will then be transplanted to the balding sites in the head.  

Incision in the donor site will be closed with sutures. The procedure is fairly invasive, and the patient will go through a considerable post-treatment recovery process. The FUT procedure also entails risks of extended numbness and significantly scarring in the back of the head.

 

Traditional Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

Follicular unit extraction or FUE is a more sophisticated hair transplant technique. It involves harvesting of follicular units from the same donor site one by one without the need for a major incision.

The process becomes very cumbersome and time consuming step because it must be performed meticulously in order to minimize the risk of damaging the delicate hair follicles.

 

SmartGraft

SmartGraft is a unique and innovative med spa hair restoration technique that is based on the vacuum-assisted FUE technology. It automates the extraction process to a great extent while allowing the provider to maintain control. In that sense, SmartGraft has the advantages of automation as well as physical control and management of the treatment provider for best results.

A major benefit of SmartGraft is its refrigerated receptacle, which keeps the grafts moist and cool after they have been harvested with minimal manipulation. This efficient, automated process optimizes the graft survival rate for best outcomes during the transplant procedure.

The SmartGraft procedure typically takes a few hours during a treatment session. As many as 2,000 grafts (containing one to four hairs each) can be performed during a single session.

 

No Real Schedule Impediment

Unlike FUT, there is very little downtime associated with the SmartGraft hair restoration procedure. Most patients can expect to be back to their regular work within a few days. Patients who receive the procedure on a Thursday may expect to return to their workplace on Monday, for instance.

 

Timing Facts

Results of SmartGraft treatment will begin showing in a few weeks, and will become more noticeable at around six months. Full results are usually visible in about 12 to 14 months. A few patients may require a second SmartGraft procedure at six months following the initial treatment.

An experienced provider will be able to customize the SmartGraft treatment for each patient according to their specific type of hair loss and their personal aesthetic goals.
