Liquivida® is all about offering cutting-edge services and products that help our guests feel revitalized and in optimal health. Being satisfied with one’s personal appearance plays a huge role in that regard. In our efforts to address health and wellness from the inside and out, and from top to bottom, Liquivida® is incorporating a new solution for those whose struggle with hair loss is impacting their confidence and ability to live life to the fullest.
SmartGraft® is a cutting-edge hair restoration technology that has transformed the lives of countless individuals, both men and women, effectively helping them to grow their own natural hair. Developed by a dedicated team of physicians, medical scientists, and engineers, SmartGraft® utilizes Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technology to provide a comprehensive hair restoration solution. The SmartGraft® procedure is the ultimate choice for those looking to regain their natural hair and confidence.
SmartGraft® distinguishes itself from traditional hair restoration methods by offering a less intrusive experience for patients. It eliminates the visible linear scarring commonly associated with older techniques, making it the ideal choice for those seeking a discreet solution to their hair loss concerns. The procedure is performed in-office by experienced, licensed technicians dedicated to this service, and is done during a single visit. One of the most remarkable features of SmartGraft® is that it offers permanent results, allowing patients to enjoy their natural hair for years to come.
Dr. Kendrick Heywood, Medical Director at Liquivida®, is excited to be part of rolling out this new innovative treatment at Liquivida®, because he, too, suffered from hair loss. “By doing this treatment myself, several years ago, I gained a lot more confidence, not just in the medical field but in my personal life, as well.”
Dr. Heywood goes on to add that Liquivida® elevates the SmartGraft® experience by combining the cutting-edge treatment with Exosome therapy, soaking the hair follicles in exosomes prior to placement, which helps to aid in the recovery and healing process, maximizing the effectiveness of the treatment.
SmartGraft® relies on Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technology, a superior alternative to the traditional strip method. The strip method involves removing a strip of scalp skin, which often leaves a visible and uncomfortable scar.
In contrast, FUE technology involves making tiny punches in the donor area, typically located on the back of the head, which is not susceptible to DHT-related hair loss. These punches result in virtually undetectable marks that heal quickly. The harvested hair follicles are then carefully transplanted to the desired area, achieving natural and long-lasting results.
Male hair loss, or androgenetic alopecia, is often referred to as male pattern baldness and is the most common cause of hair loss in men. This condition is primarily triggered by prolonged exposure to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that impacts genetically susceptible hair follicles, typically in a specific pattern based on genetic predisposition.
Hair follicles undergo miniaturization, eventually becoming non-viable. The Norwood scale is commonly used to assess the stage of male pattern baldness, helping determine appropriate treatment options.
While male pattern baldness is a common concern, several strategies can help mitigate hair loss and slow down its progression. Hair can be transplanted from the donor area to the frontal region to restore a natural hairline. However, it's crucial to consider factors like age and face morphology when designing a suitable hairline. SmartGraft® offers an effective solution for male hair loss, ensuring improved outcomes and patient satisfaction.
Female hair loss often differs from male hair loss, as it generally involves hair thinning throughout the entire scalp rather than following a specific pattern. This type of hair loss is often associated with hormonal imbalances, emotional stress, pregnancy-related hair loss, birth control pill side effects, rapid weight loss, traction from hairstyling practices, extreme hair care, surgical or foreign injury, and more. Each woman's situation is unique.
The dedicated SmartGraft® technician for Liquivida® will determine the best approach to hair restoration, depending on the individual. Female hair loss can be effectively addressed through treatments tailored to the individual's specific condition. SmartGraft offers a range of solutions, from enhancing the part line to restoring hair in the temporal area, achieving natural-looking results and increased confidence.
The aesthetic hairline shape is determined for each patient, taking into account the angle, orientation, and position of each transplanted hair. SmartGraft's advanced planning ensures a 100% natural result, both in shaping the hairline and in the placement of transplanted hair.
At Liquivida®., we always recommend comprehensive labwork prior to any treatment or procedure. Before undergoing SmartGraft®, patients receive a comprehensive consultation with the SmartGraft® dedicated licensed medical professional at Liquivida®. During this consultation, medical history is taken, and the number of grafts and appropriate medications are discussed.
The medical team provides pre-operative instructions to ensure a smooth process. Medications to help manage pain or discomfort are prescribed for both pre and post-procedure. On the day of the surgery, the donor and recipient areas are prepared, with options available to hide the donor area for those with longer hair. A follow-up care schedule will also be established for a minimum of 3 months.
