FUE Punch – best hair transplant punch
A hair transplant punch is a specialized tool used in follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant procedures. It’s a small, circular blade attached to a handle, and it’s used to extract individual hair follicles from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) for transplantation to the recipient area (where hair loss has occurred).
Hair transplant punches come in a variety of sizes, typically ranging from 0.7mm to 1.2mm in diameter. The size of the punch is chosen based on the size of the hair follicle being extracted. Smaller punches are used for finer hair follicles, while larger punches are used for thicker hair follicles.
Hair transplant punches can be either manual or motorized. Manual punches are operated by hand, while motorized punches are attached to a handpiece that rotates the blade. Motorized punches can be faster and more efficient than manual punches, but they also require more skill to use properly.
Hair transplant punches are made from a variety of materials, including stainless steel, titanium, and diamond. The material of the punch can affect its sharpness, durability, and cost.
Hair transplant punches are used to create small, circular incisions in the scalp around the hair follicle. The punch is then used to carefully extract the hair follicle from the scalp. The extracted hair follicle is then placed in a holding solution until it is ready to be transplanted.
Hair transplant punches are a critical tool in FUE hair transplant procedures. They allow surgeons to extract individual hair follicles with minimal damage, which helps to ensure the success of the hair transplant.
