No Shave FUE

What is the Implanter Pen Method?

FUE Hair Transplant Treatment

 

Both Traditional FUE and the Implanter Pen Method are advanced hair transplant techniques. While the extraction process remains the same, they differ significantly in the method of implantation.

 

Traditional FUE with forceps implantation follows a three-step approach:

 

  • Extraction of individual follicular units

  • Creation of recipient channels in the scalp

  • Manual placement of grafts into these channels using forceps

 

The Implanter Pen Method, however, streamlines the process into two precise steps. Using a specialised implanter pen, hair grafts are implanted directly into the scalp without the need for pre-made incisions. This approach reduces handling of grafts, shortens procedure time, and significantly improves graft survival rates.

 

One of the most notable advantages of the Implanter Pen Method is that head shaving is often not required, making it an ideal option for patients seeking a more discreet procedure with minimal visible downtime.

 

This technique is also recognised for:

 

  • Higher precision in graft placement

  • Improved graft survival rates

  • Greater control over depth, angle, and direction

  • Exceptionally natural-looking results

2 Step Process of Implanter Method

Step 1 – Precision Extraction

Using the same meticulous technique as traditional FUE, individual hair follicles are carefully harvested from the donor area — typically the back and sides of the scalp. This ensures healthy graft selection, minimal trauma, and optimal donor area preservation.

Step 2 – Direct Implantation

 

A specialised implanter device, such as the Choi Implanter Pen, is used to create recipient sites and implant grafts simultaneously. This advanced technique significantly reduces the time grafts remain outside the body, minimises scalp trauma, and shortens overall treatment time — resulting in improved graft survival, faster healing, and superior cosmetic outcomes.
