Better with the pencil ? (FUE HT)

[vinnytr]

I have been talking to 2 different HT surgeons about having a full FUE HT .

I have been told they are using slightly different procedures for inserting the hairs in the recipient area .

From what i understand the first one is making slits for the new hairs and inserts them into these channels .

The 2nd surgeon however is using a pen with the new hair already placed in and strikes the recipient area with this . So the channel for the new hair is made at the same time as its inserted in its place .
I have been told this is done to allow the surgeon to be able to pack hairs denser and also causes less of a scarring and faster healing in the recipient area because the holes are smaller and the planted hair acts as a plug to stop loss of blood ?

Is there anything wrong with the above statements ?

but no thanks...

Research the Choi implanter as this is what option 2 sounds like which is highly unsuccessful and there is a great deal of info on it.

I was trying to help by summarising that you need to research the 'Choi Implanter' this will help answer your question.

Seriously man, no need to be so angry or disrespectful.

What a disgraceful reply to someone who is trying to help you !

So for the benefit of anyoneELSE who is considering `choi` let me share my experience of it , which was a complete failure , no growth , a complete marketing ploy to lure the unsuspecting into a procedure, performed by substandard Drs in substandard clinics dotted around the globe

To be avoided at all costs

Spex ,I thought you were trying to be funny.Apologies if you were not.

As you can see i did not even know the name of the instrument ,i have just seen it in work . So this was the start of my research .

I must say i am really surprised you guys think this technique is absolutely useless but also glad in a way because i am considering this technique at a 3 times higher cost than the 1st one !!
Whats most shocking is the surgeon that carries out the procedure using this implanter has a very good reputation and from the results i have seen he has got very good survival rate . Progress pics of one of his patients which i am in contact with through the net and he swears by him .

You can actually see the "choi implanter" in the pictures.
The latest pictures are of his 6-7 th month i believe .
Is that a bad hair transplant then ?How come he has a good survival rate ?
