What is Bio Fiber Hair Transplant? | A Detailed Guide

Let Us Have A Look At Bio Fiber Hair Transplant

Artificial Hair Transplant or Bio Fiber Hair Transplant is a procedure that transplant artificial hair produced from Polyester Polyethylene Terephthalate Resin or PBT, in different sizes and colors to the baldness area. This procedure does not belong to the cosmetic surgery category.

Since Bio Fiber Hair Transplant, which started in the seventies, caused problems by time, certain restrictions were imposed in eighties by the FDA. The reason behind these restrictions is the artificial grafts did not adapt to tissues. These artificial grafts, which causes allergy and infections, were under strict examination until 2007, after this year, these grafts passed the health tests and started to be used, and it became approved by the CE.

Bio Fiber Hair Transplant, which continues to evolve by overcoming safety barriers, is similar to the DHI technique in terms of application. During the procedure, a special pen will be used to open channels and grafts will be placed in these channels.

The artificial hair will be placed on the scalp by 0.3 mm in diameter. There is a knob at the bottom of the artificial hair to keep it stable under tissues.

As a note, we should not get confused between Bio Fiber Hair Transplant and the wig.

• It is not possible to perform this procedure in front of the head or whiskers, because the skin in these areas is not thick enough to handle this procedure.
• Since artificial hair fibers are placed under tissues, the body considers them as a strange object and start to defend against them. This prevents artificial hair grafts from adapting with the scalp healthily.
