What is SmartGraft device for FUE hair transplantation?

SmartGraft™ is the fastest, most advanced hand-held device for minimally-invasive FUE Follicular Unit Extraction hair transplant procedures we have ever used at Bauman Medical, allowing for the individual harvesting of follicular unit grafts directly from the Donor Area of the scalp without leaving a linear scar or “zipper” appearance. Shorter FUE procedure times means reduced risks of graft failure and poor growth quality, as well as enhanced patient comfort. SmartGraft, by Vision Medical, also has a complete microprocessor controlled graft extraction and storage system which reduces the risk of damage to the fragile FUE grafts. 

Many, including North America's #1 Top Hair Restoration Surgeon (Aesthetic Everything), Dr. Alan J. Bauman MD, believe that SmartGraft is simply a better or maybe “smarter!” way to perform a hair transplant. SmartGraft is a breakthrough device that helps hair transplant surgeons and their specialized teams perform FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction hair transplantation. Less invasive than traditional linear "strip" harvesting, Follicular Unit Extraction uses no scalpel, no stitches, no staples in the donor area--allowing for faster healing and less discomfort after transplantation.

What is FUE Follicular Unit Extraction?

Hair transplantation is the redistribution of permanent, living and growing hair follicles from the “Donor” Area into a thinning or balding “Recipient” area of the scalp. FUE is a harvesting technique which is less invasive than traditional strip or linear harvesting which requires no scalpel or stitches in the Donor Area. Recovery from FUE procedures is more comfortable and less restrictive than with linear or strip harvesting. The vast majority of patients require absolutely NO strong pain medications during their recovery and can return to non-impact athletic physical activity in just several days.

Dating back prior to 2002, renowned hair loss expert and ABHRS-certified Hair Restoration Surgeon, Dr. Alan J. Bauman, MD, ABHRS was amongst a handful of surgeons worldwide who helped develop instruments for, as well as pioneer, research, teach and train doctors on the minimally-invasive techniques of FUE. Dr. Bauman was the very first board-certified hair transplant surgeon in North America to routinely use Neograft, a motorized hair transplant system for no-linear-scar hair follicle harvesting, starting in 2007. He was also one of the first physicians to use the FDA-approved ARTAS robotic-assisted FUE system. Since 2002, Dr. Bauman and his surgical team have transplanted more than 2,500,000 follicular units using the FUE technique–making Dr. Bauman one of the most experienced FUE surgeons in the world. FUE is the least invasive hair transplant procedure and leaves absolutely NO linear scar. It has less downtime and less discomfort than traditional “linear” or “strip-harvest” procedures.

Will SmartGraft FUE Hair Transplant Look Natural?

The final naturalness and undetectability of a hair transplant relies primarily on the minimally-invasive FUE harvesting method of grafts as small as a single follicle and the artistic ability of the surgeon who creates the sites where the follicles will be implanted. Your surgeon must understand the bounds of naturalness of the hairline design, as well as the relationship of each and every angle, orientation and position of the transplanted hair so that the end result looks natural, and not transplanted. Dr. Bauman is renowned for his artistic approach to hairline design and meticulous execution in his hair transplant procedures.
