You can continue reading to know the advantages of hair transplantation with Choi pens, how to perform the procedure with these pens, and other work details that must be considered before the procedure.
What is hair transplantation with Choi pens?
Choi pens are the essential tool needed to complete direct hair transplant procedures with the best results in many patients. Although this course of treatment has often been overlooked since it was first introduced, more people are now starting to see how they can benefit from it in the long run, especially when it comes to finding an effective hair transplant procedure with fast results.
During the hair transplantation procedure with Choi pens, you will notice significantly less pressure on your head than if you were using more typical methods of performing a hair transplant in Turkey, such as the traditional FUE technique. The procedures that the surgeons use will minimize any aggravation on your scalp as the hair is removed. And then put it in the bald areas.
This is due to the fact that the Choi pen works best when it is run on individual hair follicles one by one. The recovery period for hair transplantation is greatly reduced compared to traditional transplantation procedures. This is due to the minimal amount of time the follicles are outside of your scalp and the small incisions used for the placements. Faster treatment also lends itself to scar reduction, so results will appear more natural. The Choi pen allows hair removal with the smallest incisions, which makes hair transplantation one of the best hair loss solutions in this way. You will be able to treat small areas of thinning or weak hair with maximum effect as the procedure is known to deliver great results.
How do Choi pens work?
Choi pens reinsert the grafts into the scalp at the same time that the recipient site is being created. This is also called direct hair transplantation as the hair is transplanted directly at the same time as the hair transplant surgeon makes a hole with a pen needle. Recently, many forms of specialized hair transplantation pens have appeared, and there is no difference in the results of the procedure depending on the pen. However, doctors at the Turkiyaholidays Center prefer to use Choi standard pens, which are the basic standard for modern implant pens.
The grafts can be reinserted into the scalp by pre-making holes in the scalp sites that will receive hair created by the pen needle. This method generally occurs in two stages. The first stage requires the surgeon to create holes or recipient sites using a needle. Then the doctor comes and places the extracted grafts in each of these sites in the second stage. In Choi pens, hair transplantation in the recipient sites takes place in one stage, where the pen is loaded with hair and the needle opens and implants in one stage.
Choi Implant pens contain a needle with a hollow tip. Grafts can be placed at this hollow tip, and when the needle is inserted into the scalp to create a hole, the pen simultaneously places the grafts into the incisions. This means that the hole is created and the grafts are placed in simultaneously and this is a timely achievement.
Advantages of Choi pens
In order to perform a hair transplant using Choi pens, you will need a nurse and a hair transplant surgeon to work on your scalp throughout the procedure. The use of pens requires a high degree of skill and experience, so only certified surgeons should perform this technique. This means that you can be sure that you have a qualified surgeon performing your hair transplant at all times, giving you the best possible chance of a perfect result from the use of pens.
- Depth, angle and density of hair transplantation
The surgeon will be able to control the implant depth and density precisely using the implant pen and this also leads to natural results for the patient. The pens will enable the surgeon to determine the appropriate depth due to the needle of ideal length that incises the scalp precisely, allowing the implantation of the follicles at a depth similar to the depth of the natural follicles.
- Increase the survival rate of grafts during hair transplantation
As the grafts spend less time outside the body and are treated less frequently, there is an increase in their survival rate. This means that the transplanted follicle is given every chance to survive through the speedy completion of the operation, which reduces the period of its survival outside the body, and this increases the chances of its activity and reduces the trauma resulting from the operation.
- Recovery time after hair transplant
Because the implant pens are small and are 0.8mm-1mm in size, the recovery required for healing is faster compared to the pre-made incisions in traditional hair transplantation techniques. This has a clear benefit for the patient and the overall hair transplant outcome, especially if the patient seeks to get a quick result.
- Long hair transplant
Since the pen allows the surgeon to be precise in placing the follicles in the scalp between the actual hair, if you want to perform a transplant in a thin hair area, this can be achieved. This allows for better coverage and accuracy when it comes to long hair transplantation as well, as the transplanted hairs are very precise between the hairs on the scalp.
Disadvantages of Choi’s pen technique
There are no major drawbacks in using Choi pens in hair transplantation, but it is a process that requires high experience and long training, so no doctor can do it. A doctor with specialized training and sufficient experience in using implant pens must ensure that the operation is successful and that there will be no complications. Some of the disadvantages can be summarized as the inability to treat large areas with a large number of grafts, as it requires extreme accuracy and a specific implantation method other than what doctors follow in traditional hair transplantation.
- Hair transplantation using Choi pens is effective in small bald areas due to the length of time and effort that the medical team performs during the operation.
- It takes an experienced medical team who is well trained and specialized in using Choi pens otherwise you will risk the safety of the follicles you transplant.
- The grafts or follicles may be broken while being loaded into the pens, which may risk the entire process, and therefore, a doctor and medical team must be relied upon with this advanced technology.
- Effective and successful in cases of thick hair and straight hair and not suitable for cases of curly hair to avoid breaking the follicles during loading.
- There are signs of open incisions in the transplanted area even after a year postoperatively due to the large size of the implantation needle if the hair has been shaved shorter than 2 cm.
- The long duration of the operation requires more application of local anesthesia, which may increase swelling after the operation.
Hair transplant procedure with Choi pens
Direct hair transplantation or that rely on Choi pens to implant the follicles is very similar to traditional hair transplantation, but there are also differences in the method of implementation. Although the duration of the operation is sometimes longer if the patient seeks unshaven hair transplantation or long hair transplantation.
Local anesthesia needles are used before hair transplantation with Choi pens, as they are injected directly into the scalp in specific places. Anesthesia in these cases is done in two stages.
Hair transplantation using the Choi pen technique takes between two and five hours according to the nature and type of the case, and the location and area of the targeted areas. frontal area.
The first stage of the process is similar to that followed in FUE hair transplantation, where the doctor harvests the hair follicles from the donor areas of the patient’s scalp according to what has been previously determined, and the doctor’s skill at this stage lies in not exposing the follicles to damage during their extraction, and above all not Traumatizing the donor areas at the back of the scalp, exposing them to any distortions or lack of density that may harm the final appearance.
In the next stage, the doctor uses Choi pens that have been fed into the follicles to transplant hair directly in the areas affected by hair loss, without the need for incision or opening receptor channels, which distinguishes the Choi pen technique from other older technologies.
At this stage, the hair transplant surgeon uses the appropriate needle for each follicle, in accordance with its thickness, and the angles and depths to which the follicles will be implanted are determined with the utmost precision, which is a major reason for the satisfactory cosmetic results that most patients obtain after hair transplantation with Choi pens.
Once this stage is completed, which is the last stage of hair transplantation with Choi pens, the patient can leave the hospital directly and start practicing his normal life from the next day, as this technique does not cause the patient any damages or wounds that require special care after the operation.
