What is a Smartgraft® Hair Transplant?

Hair loss can happen for many reasons, affecting men and women. While no solution works for everyone, many people benefit from the long-lasting results of a hair transplant. A Smartgraft® hair transplant restores healthy, natural-looking growth. 

What is a Smartgraft® Hair Transplant?

A Smartgraft® hair transplant is a form of FUE (follicular unit excision). Follicles are the tiny structures in your scalp that grow hair. They go through cycles of hair growth and resting but can enter a dormant state where they no longer grow hair. Smartgraft® transplants follicles from actively growing areas to thinning ones to restore growth. 

While a traditional hair transplant removes a strip of skin from a donor site on your head, leaving a scar, Smartgraft® transplants individual follicles. Since it does not require incisions, your scalp requires minimal post-treatment care. Smartgraft® is the most advanced form of FUE, streamlining the process of follicle transplantation.  

How Does a Smartgraft® Hair Transplant Work?

Smartgraft® is minimally invasive and requires only local anesthetic. The system allows your Coolspa expert to collect and sort these follicles. Unlike other types of FUE, it protects the follicles from damage during transplantation. When transplanted to thinning areas, these follicles will continue their growth cycle. Because Smartgraft® transplants individual follicles, the procedure requires no incisions and leaves no scars. 

What is Recovery Like After a Smartgraft® Hair Transplant?

Smartgraft® is much less invasive than a traditional hair transplant. As a result, you can return to most of your usual activities after treatment. You should avoid washing your hair for one to two days and limit strenuous activities for up to a week. You may have minor soreness in the donor area lasting a few days. 

How Long Does it Take to See Smartgraft® Results?

Your transplanted follicles will take time to begin growing new hairs. Most people see new growth after about three months. You will see your full results in six to twelve months, depending on how fast your hair grows. 

Smartgraft® results look more natural than a traditional hair transplant. The pattern of follicle placement mimics their natural distribution on your scalp. As a result, this hair looks like your own normal growth. The transplanted hairs blend seamlessly to restore thickness and fullness.
