What makes Este Medical stand out from other hair transplant providers is that our founder and CEO, Sam Cinkir, is also a hair transplant recipient and understands from personal experience what male hair loss can feel like. Hearing Sam share his own hair transplant procedures and hair restoration journey makes having an Este Medical hair grafting treatment even more relatable. Knowing that the CEO has personally experienced hair restoration can be a real confidence boost for men and women looking to make a change and address their hair loss concerns, whether that means a course of non-surgical UK hair treatments or having a hair transplant in England.
One thing Este Medical Group and Sam Cinkir are known for globally is embracing the latest developments in hair restoration technology. From AI-assisted DHI hair transplants to stem cell, exosome, and PRF-boosted hair growth treatments, Este Medical continues to discover new approaches to hair restoration and advanced hair grafting.
What Is the PHE Method?
In this video, you can listen to Sam Cinkir explain the potential benefits of PHE and how the method is used as part of Este Medical’s approach to modern hair grafting. Take a moment to hear Sam explain how an Este Medical hair transplant could benefit you.
“Science has discovered how stem cells and hair follicles, when correctly extracted, can preserve the donor hair area. This is the science behind PHE (Partial Hair Extraction) and at Este Medical Group we are using this method in our Robotic Hair Transplant procedures to maximise hair regrowth in both the treatment and donor area,” says Este Medical founder and CEO Sam Cinkir.
Partial follicular unit extraction is a development of the FUE approach in which only part of a multi-hair follicular unit is extracted, leaving follicular remnants in the donor area. Research has explored this technique as a way of preserving donor hair and potentially supporting regeneration from the remaining follicular structures.
With Robotic DHI hair grafting and advances in hair follicle extraction, Este Medical is applying this approach when suitable. The aim is to make careful use of the available donor hair supply while achieving the hair density required in the treatment area.
“Nowadays, using the PHE method, we can extract 6,000 to 7,000 hair grafts confidently, and recently we reached over 8,000 hair grafts using PHE. Without using partial hair extraction there would be some risk at these high numbers with overextraction, but not so with Este Medical’s PHE methodology. We have seen amazing results for hair regrowth in four to six weeks post-extraction,” reveals Cinkir.
Why Does PHE Make a Difference?
Partial Hair Extraction, or partial follicular unit extraction, is an innovative variation of the standard FUE method. Rather than removing an entire multi-hair follicular unit, the technique involves harvesting a portion while leaving part of the follicular structure behind in the donor area.
The principle behind the technique is to preserve follicular hair remnants in the donor area. Research into partial follicular unit extraction has explored whether these remaining structures can continue to produce hair, with the technique being developed in part to help optimise donor-hair preservation.
For anyone considering a hair transplant, protecting the donor supply of hair at the back and sides of the head is an important part of the surgical process. Donor depletion can be a concern with excessive harvesting, which is why careful planning, suitable selection, and extraction technique remain essential considerations in FUE and Robotic DHI hair transplantation.
Sam Cinkir says: “PHE really allows us to maximise hair density like never before. This can also help prevent additional hair grafting down the line. As long as you have a good donor supply of hair, you will greatly benefit from Partial Hair Extraction. The potential to aim for 8,000 or even 9,000 hair grafts is within reach within one hair transplant session. After six months you will see your donor area of hair restored back to the way it was before hair surgery. If you are thinking of having a hair transplant, Este Medical is known for the best hair grafting in the world.”
Este Medical’s UK Robotic DHI hair transplants and use of PHE are part of Este’s approach to the future of hair restoration. The focus is on precise hair follicle placement, improved hair density, and strategic consideration of the donor area for the long term.
If you would like to find out how many grafts you may need, contact Este Medical to arrange a hair graft count assessment and hair restoration consultation. Your individual donor supply, hair loss pattern, and hair restoration goals can be discussed before you decide which treatment option is right for you.
Could Partial Hair Extraction Be Right for You?
Every hair transplant is different, which is why understanding your individual hair loss pattern and hair donor supply is an important first step. While Partial Hair Extraction can offer another approach to maximising available hair grafts, the suitability of the technique will depend on your existing hair density, the abundance of your donor hair area, and your overall hair restoration goals.
For men experiencing male pattern baldness, protecting the donor area can be particularly important when planning a high-density hair transplant. A detailed hair graft count and consultation can help establish how many grafts may be available and where they could be placed to create a fuller, more defined result.
At Este Medical UK, the combination of Robotic DHI technology and Partial Hair Extraction gives hair loss clients another option to discuss with their Este Medical hair restoration specialist. The aim is to carefully plan your treatment, make the most of your available donor hair and create a new or lower hairline that complements your appearance.
Whether you are considering your first hair transplant or looking for a way to address progressive hair loss, it is worth exploring all your options before making a decision.
