Laxometer and Giga-Session Hair Transplant Surgery
I just gave a lecture on a new application for Laxometer in mega and giga session hair transplants in the annual ISHRS (International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery) meeting in Amsterdam, Netherlands. As we presented the Laxometer in the prior hair restoration scientific meetings, Laxometer can make us capable of increasing the precision of strip removal method of follicular unit hair transplants while minimizing the risk of donor scar complications.
This year, I presented a new application for Laxometer for its use in patients who have limited laxity of the scalp due to prior hair restoration surgeries or for those who require a maximum number of grafts in one session (3000+, 4000+, 5000+ and so forth). I performed a research in US Hair Restoration last year in which we removed the strip in sequences for hair transplant surgeries using Laxometer before and after removal of each section of the strip. This method has increased the safety of the strip removal while decreasing the risk of donor wound complications.
The result that was presented in the ISHRS meeting indicated the effectiveness of Laxometer at increasing the number of grafts in a strip hair transplant while minimizing the donor complications of a hair restoration surgery. Based on our findings, we now use Laxometer in our California hair transplant offices on a regular basis and obtain positive results consistently.
