Welcome to Medikemos Hair Transplant Clinic
We hope you are researching your hair transplant options carefully and that you are impressed by our hair transplant results. Dr. Lupanzula and the entire team at Medikemos work hard to provide permanent, natural solutions and treatments to help you fight the battle against hair loss. When researching for your hair transplant options you will discover that there are two options for you to consider.
ABOUT FUSS
The first is FUSS, sometimes referred to as strip hair transplant surgery. This involves the removal of a donor “strip” of live tissue from the back and sides of your scalp. The length of the donor strip can be as long as thirty-five centimetres depending on how much hair is needed. This procedure was the gold standard for many years and finally allowed for natural results to be had. The problem with FUSS is that it would always leave a linear scar. No clinic in the world has been able to consistently provide the prized “pencil thin” strip scar that has always been promised. This failure of the FUSS technique is why today we have FUE or “follicular unit extraction”.
ABOUT FUE
FUE, as of 2014, has surpassed FUSS according to the most recent statistics from the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons (ISHRS) in terms of total numbers of hair transplant procedures performed worldwide. This means that FUSS is no longer the gold standard and FUE is now the preferred method for hair transplant patients. FUE, in the right hands, offers great results for patients that are equal to the best FUSS results but with one important factor. There is no linear scar like that which is found on every single FUSS patient in the world. Hair transplant patients from around the world are now choosing FUE and Dr. Lupanzula and Medikemos Clinic are at the forefront of the FUE movement. Once you see our results we’re sure you will agree.
