Looking at the advantages and disadvantages of SLIT hair transplantation…

◇What is the SLIT method of hair transplantation?

Hair transplantation is a surgery in which one’s back hair is collected and transferred to the hair loss area, and at this time, it is divided into a transplantation method and a slit method according to the method of transplantation. Among them, the SLIT method is literally slit in the area where the hair is to be transplanted, that is, a long and narrow hole is made in advance according to the direction in which the hair is to be grown. The separated hair follicles are sequentially transplanted into the’slit’ made in advance. When making the slit, it is made to be as compact as possible and to the angle and direction in which the hair at the site to be transplanted can look natural.

◇What is the difference between the SLIT method and the transplantation device?

Hair transplantation through a hair transplanter is fast. It can be said that the speed is fast because it is the process of planting the hair in the desired location by inserting the core into the mechanical pencil. However, the slit method is a process in which pores (slit) are first formed and the hair follicles are planted in the same direction and angle, so the speed is inevitably slow. The reason why hair transplantation is performed with the slit method, which is slow and requires a lot of manpower, is because it is possible to transplant at a higher density than the hair transplantation device.

▲ Due to the thickness of the hair transplanter itself, it is difficult to transplant a denser than that of a slit (SLIT).

▲ To insert hair like a core in a mechanical pencil called a hair follicle, damage to the hair follicle is inevitable because the tissue surrounding the hair follicle needs to be made thinner.

◇Can hair transplantation using the advanced SLIT method in the United States be possible in Korea?

The US NHI (New Hair Institue) and Korea’s NHI (New Hair Hair Transplant Center) are the same hospitals, providing medical services with the same technology. They meet two or three times a year to share clinical trials and develop skills together, and because not only doctors but also surgery teams are directly training at the US New Hair Institue (NHI), there is no difference in surgical techniques between Korea and the United States.

There is a difference in perspective between consumers and hospitals. It is said that the domestic beauty plastic surgery technology is already the best in the world, but it is still a question of whether or not they say’American technology’. However, as the number of Korean specialists who try to participate in the American hair transplant society is increasing every year, and the number of hospitals trying to be recognized there is increasing, it is undeniable that the United States still has advanced technology in the field of’hair transplantation’ at least. I don’t think there will be. In the case of’hair follicle unit hair transplantation’, which many hair transplant specialists have recently implemented, dr. It was started and developed by Rassman, and the original technology is still owned by NHI (New Hair).

◇Are there any disadvantages of SLIT hair transplantation?

Unfortunately, hair transplantation of the SLIT method is not easily accessible by many hospitals due to the problem that the training of the surgeon must be accompanied by the training of the doctor and the training of the surgical team.

In fact, Kim Jin-oh, director of Korea’s NHI (New Hair), also regularly sends surgical teams to the US NHI for training, and invests a lot of money and time in continuous exchanges between Korea and the United States. This is one of the reasons why many hospitals are unable to switch to slit transplants.

Of course, not everyone needs to train in the U.S. for slit-type hair transplantation, but enough training for a certain period of time is definitely needed anywhere.

◇ Is the SLIT method really the best choice?

For a natural and rich result in hair transplantation, the slit method is superior to the method through a hair transplanter. However, as long as there are hospitals that maintain low prices with the advantage of fast surgery time through a hair transplanter, it is a difficult problem to break through price resistance only with the superiority of technology and results.

Recently, there are some young people who are leaving to Turkey for hair transplantation, and that is not because of technological advances, but rather that they are going to countries that offer cheaper treatments compared to Korea. This is because hair transplantation requires a trained surgical team who has been engaged in hair transplantation for a long time with an experienced doctor, and because it is concentrated on one patient for a long time, the cost of surgery can be lowered due to inexpensive labor costs as the country goes to underdeveloped countries.

However, if you have troubled with hair loss for a long time and want to have the most abundant and natural hair transplantation, it can be said that it is the best option of the SLIT method hair transplantation.
