What is 360 Vertex Hair Transplantation?

360 vertex hair transplantation is a specialized procedure aimed at restoring hair in the vertex, or crown area, which typically experiences hair thinning or balding. This type of hair loss usually forms a circular pattern at the top and back of the scalp, often referred to as the "crown." The procedure is designed to address hair loss in this specific region, restoring hair density and creating a natural appearance. The name "360 vertex" comes from the circular nature of the bald spot in the vertex area, which resembles a whirl or spiral.

How is 360 Vertex Hair Transplantation Performed?

360 vertex hair transplantation is performed under local anesthesia, and the process begins by extracting healthy hair follicles from the donor area, usually located at the back of the head. These follicles are carefully measured for quality and density, ensuring the most successful outcome. The surgical team then uses a specialized technique to create incisions at angles that mimic the natural whirl pattern of the vertex, often resembling the shape of a rose. The operation requires the patient to be in a prone (face-down) position, which provides better access to the crown area. This meticulous planning ensures the transplanted hair grows in the same direction as the patient’s natural hair.

Who is a Candidate for 360 Vertex Hair Transplantation?

This procedure is best suited for individuals who experience hair loss primarily in the crown area. It is often recommended for patients whose natural hair in the vertex region forms a whirl or spiral pattern, known as the vertex or crown whirl. Men are generally more prone to hair loss in this area and are thus the primary candidates for this surgery. However, the procedure can also be performed on individuals with completely bald crown areas, allowing for a personalized hair design according to the patient’s preferences.

What Methods Are Used in 360 Vertex Hair Transplantation?

There are two main methods used for 360 vertex hair transplantation: DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) and Sapphire FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). While both techniques are effective, the Sapphire FUE method is more commonly chosen for this procedure because it allows for precise angular planning, which is crucial for the crown area. In the Sapphire FUE technique, a sapphire blade is used to create micro-channels for the hair follicles, ensuring faster healing and a more natural-looking result. DHI may also be used depending on the patient’s specific needs, offering flexibility in graft placement.

How Should Channels Be Opened in 360 Vertex Hair Transplantation?

The most critical aspect of 360 vertex hair transplantation is the direction in which the channels are opened. Before beginning the transplant, it is essential to carefully map out the natural whirl of the existing hair in the vertex area. The new hair should follow the same pattern, starting from the center of the crown and spiraling outward. This ensures that the newly transplanted hair blends seamlessly with the natural hair, creating a uniform appearance. Channels are opened in a way that mimics the natural rose-like pattern, ensuring a natural look and optimal growth.

Post-Procedure Care for 360 Vertex Hair Transplantation

After undergoing 360 vertex hair transplantation, patients must take special care to avoid applying pressure to the scalp, as this could dislodge the newly transplanted follicles. Any movement or trauma to the area could result in misalignment, leading to irregular growth patterns or visible scarring. As with all hair transplantation procedures, maintaining strict hygiene is critical to prevent infections. Patients will be provided with a detailed post-operative care plan, which includes instructions for washing the scalp, using prescribed medications, and avoiding any external damage to the treated area.

Can 360 Vertex Hair Transplantation Be Done on Burn Scars?

Yes, 360 vertex hair transplantation can be performed on areas affected by burn scars or traumatic injuries. However, a thorough analysis is required to determine whether the scalp is suitable for the procedure. Scar tissue may have limited blood supply, which can affect the success of the transplant. After assessing the condition of the scar, the doctor will advise whether vertex hair transplantation is a viable option and what kind of results can be expected. This personalized approach ensures that each patient receives the best possible outcome based on their individual circumstances.
