As for the ambassador’s pen, it is considered one of the three most common techniques in hair transplantation, as this technique is very similar to the extraction technique in terms of the stages of implantation and the method of extraction of the follicles from the back of the head, as well as inserting the follicles into the scalp.
But the difference is the type of instrument in which the channels are opened, by using the sapphire stone, which is considered one of the rare, valuable and hard gemstones.
What is the principle of action of the Ambassador technique ?
This technique works on the same principle as the FUE technique, where the follicles are taken from the donor area behind the head and then re-implanted at the front of the head.
Here, attention must be paid to the process of extracting the follicles, and it must be accurate so that no spaces appear in the back of the head, and this depends on the doctor’s experience, as he distributes the extraction in an orderly manner and without leaving any traces.
The most important advantages of cultivation using the Sapphire technique :
* The diameter of the head of the ambassador device is very small, and this helps to open the largest number of channels in a specific area, such as 1 cm, with a slightly larger number sometimes than the metal channel opening device that is used in the extraction technique
* The speed of the scalp recovery after the operation, because the Ambassador stone does not affect the tissues in the scalp
* Cultivation of a large number of grafts, up to more than 6000 grafts per session
* Sapphire stone is considered anti-bacterial
* Get great results and high intensity
Less loss of damaged follicles.
What are the stages of cultivation with the ambassador technology ?
There are three main stages, and these stages come after diagnosis, medical tests, forehead drawing, in addition to local anesthesia.
The first stage is to extract the follicles from the donor area from the back of the head by means of a micrometer device with tapered tips and a diameter of 0.6 to 0.9 mm. And it takes between two to three hours.
The second stage is the opening of the canals, which is a very important stage, and it depends on the doctor’s experience of opening the channels at a certain angle, which facilitates the natural growth of hair after transplantation, and here the doctor uses the ambassador stone with a pointed head to open the implantation channels.
The third stage: It is a manual process in which the follicles are inserted into the scalp, and this stage takes between two to three hours, depending on the number of follicles extracted in advance.
