The Toronto Hair Transplant Clinic Now Offers SmartGraft!

By using the advanced smart hand piece, the surgeon is able to harvest and collect donor follicular grafts from an area where there is thick hair growth, and the follicles are not affected by the DHT hormone that causes the most common type of hair loss (usually the back of the head, also called the donor area).

The SmartGraft device itself will collect, count, sort, and safely store the individual hair follicular grafts in less time than other comparable FUE methods that are currently being used. The end result for the patient is a thicker and natural hairline without the unpleasant scarring, discomfort, or long-term recovery that is associated with traditional FUT, or strip-method, hair transplants.

Previous FUE methods, including the robot, required that the follicular unit grafts be removed manually one at a time. That is obviously a long and tedious process.

“We chose to offer SmartGraft to our hair restoration patients for a few reasons,” says Dr. Torgerson. “It’s a fairly straightforward procedure that is simple for my team and myself to perform, and we have already seen some really amazing results with it.

Our patients are loving the fact that it doesn’t leave a noticeable scar, so it’s a great solution for men and women who may prefer to wear their hair short. And my patients are able to go back to work the next day if they want to, and they can also resume normal physical activities just a few days after that.”
