Four SmartGraft Differences that are Changing the Game

According to results of the latest International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) clinician survey, among clinicians hair transplantation using follicular unit extraction (FUE) is the preferred surgical method for male and female hair restoration.¹

Available on six continents, the SmartGraft from Vision Medical, Inc. (Glen Mills, Pa.) offers the latest in FUE technology. Developed by a leading team of physicians, medical scientists and engineers, the SmartGraft provides patients an alternative to the visible linear scarring that occurs with the traditional follicular unit transplant (FUT) strip method.

Sonia Badreshia, MD, of Elite MD Advanced Dermatology, Laser & Plastic Surgery Institute (Beverly Hills and Danville, Calif.), proudly offers advanced state-of-the-art SmartGraft FUE technology to her patients. Dr. Badreshia believes the SmartGraft FUE technology stands out among other hair restoration devices, noting Vision Medical’s unmatched support, the device’s ease of use, and the natural results that the SmartGraft provides to her patients.

In Dr. Badreshia’s experience, “SmartGraft is minimally invasive (no linear scarring) and can be done with more precision in less time than many other FUE methods.  Patients  can  go back to work in one or two days, and results look and feel completely natural.”

According to Dr. Badreshia, the SmartGraft FUE device offers four key benefits when compared to other methods of hair restoration, including:

• A natural look. Because a patient’s own hair is used to fill in balding spots, the results pro- duce the most natural, healthy look possible.
• Minimal scarring. Unlike other traditional procedures that require large strips of hair to be removed and restored, SmartGraft uses in- dividual micro-grafts that are implanted into recipient sites to eliminate linear scarring.
• Protection of the grafts. Protection of the patient’s investment begins prior to implantation. The SmartGraft Smart Storage automatically sorts grafts and places them in a “bio-dome” canister, which keeps grafts moist in a temperature-controlled sterile solution, improving patient outcomes.
• Minimal downtime. This in-office procedure is performed in a single treatment and recovery is short. Patients typically return to their normal activities within a few days.

While hair restoration offers a permanent solution to hair loss, Dr. Badreshia noted that in the long term, patients can continue to thin in the areas that were not implanted. Thinning may be due to genetics or hormonal changes among other factors. Following a surgical procedure, hair restoration patients achieve ultimate success when they remain on a maintenance regimen that includes oral and topical treatments, such as the LOCKrx Hair Support System.
