About Dr. Raghu Reddy Hair Transplant
Dr Raghu Reddy received his medical training in West of Scotland, Deanery and is a world renowned hair restoration surgeon and pioneer of Third generation FUE or the FUE+ technique.
As a hair loss sufferer himself, Dr. Reddy first noticed signs of thinning hair during medical school years and this set him off on the quest for an effective treatment for hair loss and baldness that is in the best interest of the patient.
After obtaining his qualifications he pursued further training in hair restoration surgery. Having had first hand experience of hair restoration surgery both as a surgeon and as a patient himself, he began to understand the limitations of both FUE and strip surgery (FUT). Following years of hard work and under the guidance of some great thinkers, he pioneered the Third generation FUE.
Dr. Reddy is very highly regarded by his peers and patients alike for his empathetic nature and passion towards his work. He has worked on numerous celebrities and CEOs of major corporations. His results are among the best in the industry and having suffered the consequences of poor hair restoration surgery, his mission statement is to ensure that no patient ever goes through the agony he went through following poor surgical outcome.
Dr. Reddy's niche is in achieving natural hairlines with great density, along with perfect angles and temple angle closure. To date, he has performed more than 2500 successful hair restoration procedures, both in the UK and overseas.
Dr. Reddy takes a lot of pride in his work and has pioneered one of the most technically advanced and minimally invasive hair restoration surgery.

Restore Hair Clinics UK & Europe
Founded by Dr. Raghu Reddy, Restore Hair Clinics is the first London UK based hair transplant clinic ever featured on HairSite. In addition, Restore Hair Clinics is also one of the very few FUE-exclusive hair restoration clinics in the world that offers minimally invasive Follicular Unit Extraction procedures to both men and women with hair loss and thinning hair.
Nowadays there are more and more doctors advocating the use of FUE over traditional strip harvesting technique. Compared to traditional hair transplant procedures, FUE is many times less traumatic for the patient. No knife, no scalpel, no stitches and no linear scar. Fast healing time and minimally invasive.
A hair transplant procedure is only as good as the team who performs the procedure. Every follicle is an organ by itself and it takes a team of competent and fully dedicated professionals to make each procedure a life changing story.
Unlike many hair transplant clinics that use a run-of-the-mill factory assembly line protocol for hair restoration, Restore Hair Clinics earns its good reputation by relying on a more personal approach in hair restoration that attends to every patient's individual needs and unique circumstances. No two hair transplant procedures are treated the same at Restore Hair Clinics except for the common objective of achieving the best for every patient at the highest standards possible.

FUE Hair Transplant Follicle Extraction donor site harvesting using FUE technique and the concept of zone of least resistance for donor extraction without transection.
Improvements in extraction of Follicles
Written by Dr Reddy
Hair transplant has come on leaps and bounds since its early days. FUE is becoming more and more mainstream form of hair transplants. FUE stands for Folicular Unit Extraction.
The recent ISHRS Convention (that stands for International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons convention) it was agreed that the acceptance of FUE is a lot better in the industry now and gradually the amount of surgeons performing FUE has increased worldwide also there is a bit more predictability with the outcomes in the results.
When I started performing FUE's , one of the things I learnt that not every client is suitable for FUE. There were days where the process was a cake walk and there were days where we were literally struggling the whole day. On revisiting these clients and revisiting the results and notes, one thing became conspicuous that not every client is suitable for FUE transplant and the process of filtration was introduced in the consultation process. What I noticed during the consultation process was that on average no more that 15-20 % of clients were suitable for an FUE transplant. Bearing in mind my colleagues will probably agree with this figure I gather that probably might be the industry norm in the coming years until something changes in technique and technology.
What I also understood was there were few new unexplored concepts with regards to FUE. Now lets start by visiting the donor area. The grafts in the donor area are arranged as follicular units ,in groups of 1,2,3,4,5 and up to 8 units per hair per unit. When a surgeon starts off with a journey of FUE the initial concern is to get a graft ,immaterial of the quality of the graft. I realised that with the use of few manoeuvres ,the quality of the grafts can be improved . By using 1mm punch and the manoeuvres developed by me, we were able to extract grafts containing up to 8 hair. These manoeuvres can also be applied to placement and these were the origins of the 3rd generation of FUE. When I discussed my findings with other senior colleagues in the industry they did acknowledge that the concepts were great but that would mean that the whole process would take a lot longer meaning more surgical time.
Once the client selection process has been improved the question mark the man versus supply arises here. The key thing is to counsel the patient, to give them the facts. Let's start by visiting the donor area . Following are a few concepts about the third generation FUE
Good extraction is the most critical element in defining the outcomes of FUE hair restoration:
1. zone of least resistance.
2. spacing between the donor grafts.
3. depth of extraction and the extraction force.
4. Use of acell to assist or enhance donor healing.

FUE Hair Transplant Scars
New advances to reduce or eliminate appearance of commonly cited white dots scarring associated with traditional or badly performed FUE hair transplants.
Scar Free FUE?
Traditionally FUE has been associated with white dot scarring. There are a few factors that contribute to white dots in FUE donor site:
Size of a punch – Rule of the thumb is, bigger the punch the more chances of visible scarring.
The depth of the punch – The deeper the punch the chances of scarring increases exponentially.
Surface area used for extraction – It is important that the surgeon uses all of the permanent zone for extraction and makes sure that the punches are not placed too close to each other. If this happens there is a chance of necrosis of neighbouring follicular units which in turn leads to wastage of the donor area and that makes the scarring visible, hence defeating the purpose of scar free transplant. With the evolution of 3G FUE scar free transplants have become a reality.

Hair Transplant Ultra Dense Packing
Hair restoration techniques that can make dense packing a possibility for those desiring the maximum hair density especially along the hairline and frontal areas.
Ultra Dense Packing
Ultra dense packing has been a controversial subject among the medical fraternity for various reasons. On the positive side, ultra dense packing can help achieve natural density in one session, limiting morbidity and saving a lot and money of time for the client.
On the negative side, there are concerns with donor depletion, limiting availability for future sessions and also the practical aspects of the procedure can be very challenging. Besides this, there is the misconception about poor uptake with ultra dense packing.
There are some issues that are addressed with the development of the 3G technique. We have known for years that more hair per graft (chunky grafts) yields better density than placing a lot of fine grafts. Let’s compare this concept to a garden. If you have a similar sized garden, you can either try to populate it with a lot of twigs, risking poor uptake or use a few twigs and plenty of trees to achieve respectable coverage.
A close inspection of the donor area reveals that there is a mixture of grafts of different sizes, namely two’s, three’s and four and five hair grafts. This mix makes the donor area look very dense and also very natural. Now if we apply a similar concept to the recipient area, there is no reason why this cannot be achieved.
However, there are a few technical issues associated with the recipient area that makes ultra dense packing a bit challenging. Firstly bald skin is exposed to sunlight and there are always issues with chronic sun exposure that makes the skin a bit harder than hair bearing skin. Secondly bleeding is more of an issue with the recipient area causing flushing away of grafts.

African Hair Transplant
Challenges facing hair restoration surgeons operating on hair loss sufferers with African or Carribean type hair characteristics.
Afro-Carribean Hair with FUE
Written by Dr Reddy
There are unique qualities of Afro-carribean hair that makes it extremely challenging for us to perform hair restoration on clients seeking FUE.
For starters, unlike Asian or Caucasian hair follicles, Afro-carribean hair follicles are curly and have certain unique features. On the positive side, this curliness offers great results with fewer follicles, it also poses a few challenges.
Instrumentation used in FUE is traditionally a sharp straight instrument. This makes it extremely difficult to manoeuvre the punch beneath the skin, wherein the visibility is nil. Hence historically patients of Afro-Carribean origin seeking FUE were discouraged to do so because of the high levels of transection associated with extraction of follicles using traditional FUE techniques.
As illustrated from the pictures above, using improved techniques of the 3G FUE technique, we have overcome the difficulties associated with extraction of follicles of patients of Afro-Carribean origin.
The second difficulty arises whilst placing them. The grafts are fairly chubby and hence a lot of improvisations have to made whilst replacing the grafts. I prefer to use a Choi implanter as I believe there is less trauma associated with replacing the grafts using choi implanters over using forceps.
The third issue is of achieving density. Generally I've found that achieving respectable density is a bit of an issue in Afro-carribean clients as popping seems to be an issue. I usually counsel them extensively about this and either advice them to spread the surgery over 48 hours or recommend a top up session in 12 months to achieve dense packing.
The last but not least issue is of scarring. Due to certain characteristics of Afro-carribean skin, clients have to be counselled extensively about hypertrophic and keloid scarring. I usually perform a test extraction on my patients before offering them an extensive surgery. However, with meticulous attention we have minimised scarring and have numerous examples whereby scarring with 3G FUE has been minimised compared to traditional techniques.
This client had a traditional FUE 12 months ago and Dr. Reddy performed an FUE on him recently. The scarring at the back is from the old surgery. We extracted hair mainly below the occipital notch. The picture taken a few weeks after, clearly illustrates lack of visible scarring at the back following extraction of 600 follicles using 3G FUE.
