Iran has been the hub of medical science development and has been the home of many scientists and researchers. During the recent years, Iran has gained reputation for being the home of best nose surgeries and similar plastic surgeries. Hair transplants are also performed successfully in the country, at reasonable costs but since there are many security issues, people prefer to go to other countries for hair transplants instead of Iran. Follicular Isolation Technique, or FIT is the process of removing one follicular unit at a time. These units are extracted from an area of good hair growth, which can also be referred to as the donor site. The technique of FIT has been evolved from the techniques of pioneer doctors of the west as well as Iran itself. This method helps to extract hair from different donor sites in cases where there is not sufficient hair on the head for transplantation. A special instrument is used to extract the individual follicular units. This instrument must cut into the skin’s top layer or the dermis to a point that is just adjacent to the arrector pili muscle. This technique ensures that the graft can be extracted intact and therefore there is more chance of it to be planted on the recipient site and produce hair growth since they are viable for a longer time before it is planted. Grafts ranging from one to 5 hairs are extracted in each attempt and this technique has allowed the largest single session of graft removal in a single day. Surgeons in Iran have successfully removed 950 intact follicular units in a single day by using the FIT technique. Currently, the FIT method is used to move almost 2000 grafts during a two-day session. Prior to the hair transplant surgery with FIT method, a check up of the skin is done in order to see whether the patient is suitable for the method or not. Some skin types are more sensitive and while each individual’s muscles and glands are at a different depth and this has to be observed before applying FIT technique to the scalp. Surgeons properly judge the depth of the arrector pili muscle and then the depth of extraction is decided. The scientist know that this depth varies from one region of the donor area to another. This is why this method is very technical and it is not within every surgeon’s capacity to perform this technique. The FIT method allows the extraction of follicles from the various parts of the body. The donor site for FIT can be the chest, stomach, back and limbs. The combination of this technique with standard graft harvesting expands the scalp donor region. The ability to use hair from other regions of the body also adds significantly to the total amount of available donor hair. It has been found that chest hair grafted to the scalp eventually begins to grow faster and longer than it did when it was on the chest.
FIT or follicular isolation technique in Iran is costly and one can not afford it easily. When you search for FIT hair transplantation and restoration, our clinic offers affordable and cost effective hair transplant treatment.
