The FUE technique has revolutionized the field of hair transplantation, today becoming one of the most effective and non-invasive techniques in guaranteeing the permanent regrowth and thickening of hair. Both men and women with problems of baldness or suffering from alopecia (androgenetic and areata) or who wish to hide a scar from an operation or an injury, can undergo transplant. This kind of transplantation offers surprising, aesthetic results, with healthy hair that grows back and covers the areas that were previously without, in a perfectly natural and permanent way.

The follicular cycle or rather the life cycle of hair, is divided into three phases: Anagen (growth), Catagen (rest) and Telogen (shedding) each of which lasts for a different length of time. The Anagen phase is the longest and most important in the cycle as it corresponds to the growth and development of a hair, a stage which lasts around 2-4 years in men and 3-6 years in women. In this phase the hair grows at about 1 cm per month (the rate of growth varies depending on which part of the head). The second phase, or Catagen, is a brief period of involution that lasts around 2-3  weeks, during which there is a gradual discontinuation of the vital functions of the hair and the follicle enters a phase of temporary rest. In short, the growth of the hair will gradually slow down until it stops altogether.

At the end of this phase a new hair shaft begins to develop that will then expel the old one. In the third phase, Telogen, the hair is still inside the follicle but its vital functions have ceased and growth has stopped. In this phase, which lasts about 3-4 months, the follicle prepares to expel the old hair, leaving room for the new one.

The Diagnostic Hair Health check-up will detect any possible issues that could be causing hair loss. Carried out at the onset of the problem, it is the first essential step towards a correct diagnosis and evaluation, if necessary, of the most effective solution to resolve the pathology.

Before proceeding with an examination to judge the extent of thinning, of baldness or other problems, an anamnesis of the patient is carried out by means of an introductory interview and specific questions are asked in order to gather useful information to gain a general idea of the patient’s situation, his diet, any possible, stressful circumstances, hereditary factors, the method and the products used when washing his hair, as well as any past attempts already carried out in the field of trichology, the results obtained and the patient’s expectations.
