The light is used to stimulate hair follicles in the affected areas by increasing protein production and metabolism. Most patients are put on a hair restoration treatment schedule which would consist of having two or three half-hour sessions per week for eight weeks, then once a week for sixteen weeks. Follow-up sessions would also be recommended which would be two sessions per month for approx. six months then quarterly maintenance treatments.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Hair Transplant
Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE, is the leading treatment for hair loss with the best and more natural results. In this treatment process, hair is removed from one area (donor area) to the affected area. An instrument harvests donor hair by making a small incision on the skin around the follicle unit separating it from its surrounding tissue. This graft is then placed with an instrument into the balding area where it will grow into a strong and healthy hair. Donor area sites usually heal within a week and go unnoticed due to the less then 1mm incision.
HairPalace Hair Transplant Clinic only use the most cutting-edge solution – the FUE2 Safe System – which offers pain-free hair treatment, no visible scars, and authentically natural results.
