Hair Transplant Procedure: Step by Step​

1. Hairline Design & Planning:

Kyle desired a natural, non-linear hairline that suited his expressive face on HD & 8K cameras. A frontal restoration plan was created, focusing on temples, hairline, and mid-scalp density.

2. Trichoscopy & Donor Assessment:

Donor hair on the back and sides of Kyle's scalp showed medium thickness with 70–80 follicular units/cm², ideal for harvesting.

3. Graft Extraction:

Using a 0.85 mm serrated titanium punch, grafts were extracted under magnification:

• Total Grafts Extracted: 3150
  • Single roots: 25%
  • Double roots: 55%
  • Triple roots: 20%

4. Graft Storage:

Stored at 4°C in RL solution with a chilled graft preservation unit to maintain viability.

5. Slit Creation:

Slits were crafted using sapphire blade technology:

• 1.1 mm for hairline zone
• 1.3 mm for mid-scalp
  Special care was taken to match hair direction and angulation for cinematic realism.

6. Graft Implantation:

Using K.E.E.P. implanters, grafts were inserted over 3.5 hours to ensure density and precision.

7. Post-op Care & Recovery:

Kyle was briefed on aftercare, healing, and shed phase expectations. A customized hair care plan and direct doctor contact for follow-ups were provided.

Kyle Paul’s Hair Growth Journey​

A) Shedding Phase (0–3 months):​

Two weeks post-op, Kyle noticed shedding of implanted hairs, which is natural. Around 65% of the grafts shed by Month 3.

• 2 PRP sessions were done during this phase to support scalp healing and hair follicle nutrition.
• The donor area healed seamlessly within 1 month.

B) Baby Hair Growth (3rd–5th Month):​

By month 3, baby hair growth was visible in the frontal zone. He could stop using hair powder and fiber products on set. The 3rd PRP session was administered. He resumed his acting with short-hair roles and noticed visible thickening.

C) Active Growth (6th–8th Month):​

Fast-paced hair growth began, and almost 90% density was visible. He could style and comb his hair freely.

• 4th PRP booster given at Month 7
• Hair responded well even under harsh studio lighting and ultra-HD filming conditions

D) Full Results (10th–11th Month):​

By September 2024, Kyle had achieved complete transformation with natural, undetectable results.

• He underwent 2 haircuts.
• Continued minoxidil
• Recommended future PRP booster every 9–12 months

Kyle calls his hair transplant at Hairfree & Hairgrow a “career-saving decision.”
