RRT Technique
Interlocking FUE Technique (RRT)
The Interlocking FUE Technique is an advanced variation of the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method used in hair transplants, offering better density, a natural look, and faster recovery. It is part of the cutting-edge techniques offered at Regain Roots that provide exceptional results in hair restoration, especially for men suffering from hair loss.
This upgraded version enhances density and natural appearance using smaller, denser slits made with a sapphire blade in an interlocking pattern. The goal is a thicker, more voluminous look with a natural hairline.
Hair Transplants: Types & Techniques
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE Technique)
FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area (back or sides of the scalp) and transplanting them to thinning areas. It’s minimally invasive and offers natural results with quick recovery.
Interlocking FUE Technique (RRT)
The RRT (Regain Roots Technique) combines FUE precision with a unique implantation pattern, offering denser coverage and a seamless blend. Ideal for patients desiring fuller, natural results.
Advantages of the FUE Technique
- Natural-Looking Results: Hair follows a zigzag pattern mimicking natural growth for an undetectable appearance.
- Improved Density: Sapphire blades create smaller, denser slits for fuller results.
- Faster Healing: Smaller slits promote 4–5 days healing instead of 10–12.
- Enhanced Graft Survival: Grafts stored in a chilling device for optimal preservation and >98% survival rate.
- Specialized Team: A skilled 5–6 member team ensures precision and premium results.
- Innovative Approach: The RRT technique provides superior, natural, and durable outcomes.
