3. ARTAS Hair Transplant Surgery Meet The ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant System The ARTAS™ Robotic Hair Transplant System brings a whole new level of precision and accuracy to FUE hair transplantation. Each graft is harvested by the robot under the control of the surgeon and then transplanted individually, so you can still be sure you will have the most natural looking results. It’s a minimally invasive procedure, which means minimal downtime, no stitches and no linear scarring which can sometimes be associated with other hair transplant methods. The Knudsen Clinic is the first Hair Transplant Clinic in the Southern Hemisphere to have the state of the art ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant System, situated in its Sydney Clinic. ARTAS Hair Transplant Robot The advantage of this innovative technology over traditional FUE hair transplant methods is that the Robotic technology enables FUE to be performed with unparalleled precision and speed.

Our highly experienced doctors will discuss these factors in detail during your consultation. The Knudsen Clinic current cost schedule is shown within this section. We offer both FUT utilising the strip method for donor site extraction and FUE using the latest in robotic technology for the donor site harvesting. During your consultation you will be informed of both techniques and given the information to make an educated decision.

5. Female Hair Loss Are You Suffering From Female Hair Loss? Women can suffer from female pattern hair loss, a related condition to MPB, but there are also other factors that may affect women, like hormonal changes, especially after childbirth or just before or during menopause. Female pattern hair loss has a variable inheritance being strongly inherited through women in some cases and perhaps through male relatives in other cases who also may suffer from male hair loss. Hair Transplant for Women Female Thinning Hair Treatment Female Hair Transplant Most doctors believe that the enzyme 5AR is involved but in some cases the genetic coding of the hormone receptor in the hair follicles seems to be different to women not suffering female hair loss. Female hair loss treatment includes hair transplant for women. Contact us or give us a call on 1800 685 399 to speak with a hair transplant surgeon to discuss how we can taylor your female thinning hair treatment.

6. Hair Loss Treatments What Are My Hair Loss Treatment Options? So you know you are suffering from hair loss but now you want to know how to treat it. You need a consultation with an expert medical Doctor to establish what the cause of your hair loss is. If it is male hair loss or female pattern balding or thinning then the best, most effective hair loss treatments for men involve prescription medications. In addition, over-the-counter chemist products may be helpful. Shampoos and conditioners have not proved to be helpful for hair loss. The first thing that needs to be treated is the cause of the hair loss. Oral Enzyme Blockade In the case of male or female pattern thinning it is the DHT affecting the hair that is the main reason for the reduction of the hair. So the DHT must be reduced to stop further hair miniaturisation and further hair loss. The way to treat the DHT is with a medication with the active ingredient Finasteride that partially blocks the enzyme 5AR thereby reducing the production of DHT. This is prescribed by a doctor and taken orally. The dosage varies depending on the degree of thinning.

7. Minoxidil Minoxidil is available as a liquid or foam that is applied daily, directly to the areas of the scalp affected. This product has been on the market for over 20 years and is available over the counter at most chemists. The way it works is by stimulating the hair which lengthens the growth cycle of the hair follicle. LaserCap™ - Innovative Hair Loss Management Device Laser (LLLT) works in the same way as Minoxidil, by stimulating the follicles to lengthen the growth cycle but the application is different. There are many types of lasers to combat hair loss on the market but most require the patient to comb the laser back and forth through the hair for at least 15 minutes which means that these types of lasers are not very effective as the application is too haphazard and tiresome. At the Knudsen Clinic we sell LaserCapTM which is a portable laser cap that can be worn under any normal hat.

8. Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) Scalp micropigmentation is a cosmetic camouflage therapy for hair thinning. It involves a very superficial tattoo in the scalp using permanent ink to create the illusion of greater coverage. The tattoo is either a tiny dot, or in some cases, a small linear stroke to recreate the look of hairs exiting the scalp. SMP is useful in women who need a fuller look and less visibility of the scalp and can be combined with hair transplantation in some cases, or used as a stand-alone therapy. In men it can also be combined with hair transplantation or used alone to create a shaved bald look, particularly in very bald men who don’t have enough donor hairs to successfully transplant the balding area. Hair Transplant Surgery The final and most effective hair loss solution that guarantees an increase in hair in the balding/thinning areas is hair transplant surgery. Read more about the surgical hair transplant procedure.

9. What is Hair Transplant Surgery? Hair transplant surgery is a procedure performed under local anaesthetic with minor sedation, where small, naturally-occurring groups of hairs (follicular units grafts), are taken from the back of the scalp (the area where the hairs have naturally lower levels of DHT) and replanting the graft in the areas of thinning or balding. Grafts either have one, two or three hairs in them, in their natural groupings. The degree of balding or thinning of a person's hair determines how many grafts will be needed. As the hairs are taken in their natural groupings the result of a hair transplant is undetectable and looks completely natural.
