FAQ for Physicians

What is SmartGraft?

SmartGraft is a minimally invasive Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) restoration device designed for both men and women with all hair types, offering an alternative to traditional strip methods (FUT-Follicular Unit Transplantation) that leave a long linear scar. SmartGraft leaves no linear scar, which is a reported major concern for many patients. Developed by physicians, medical scientists, and engineers, SmartGraft allows medical providers to perform hair restoration procedures of the scalp, beard and eyebrows, while delivering natural, permanent results.

What is the SmartGraft procedure like?

The SmartGraft procedure involves the use of local anesthetic, with the medical provider utilizing the SmartGraft device to carefully extract individual micro hair grafts from the donor area, usually located at the back of the patient’s head. The medical provider’s role is crucial in ensuring precise graft extraction to achieve optimal results for the patient. These grafts are then meticulously implanted into the recipient sites in the balding areas, promoting the regrowth of thick, healthy, and natural-looking hair. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, it can be performed in a well-equipped medical room within a clinical setting, and a full surgical operating room is not required.

Why should I consider an investment in SmartGraft?

Investing in SmartGraft offers several advantages for a medical provider. First, the technology enables a minimally invasive, efficient hair restoration procedure with quick recovery times for patients seeking alternate solutions to the FUT method, making it an appealing option for those seeking a low-impact solution. SmartGraft’s automated system is designed to minimize the risk of complications like follicle damage, over-harvesting, or trauma to the scalp, improving patient safety. Additionally, it’s a highly sought-after device in the growing field of aesthetic treatments, helping to attract new patients and expand your practice’s offerings.

As awareness of hair loss treatments grows, the demand for hair restoration procedures is increasing, making it a smart investment for medical providers looking to capitalize on a growing market. What’s more, your investment in SmartGraft goes beyond the procedure, and our global hair support offerings support a patient hair loss program that emphasizes patient care from the earliest stages of hair loss. With its ability to deliver natural-looking results, SmartGraft enhances patient satisfaction and can lead to long-term growth for your practice.
