HypoThermosol®

There are many factors that affect follicle survival rates during a hair transplant procedure, all of which the physician must carefully control throughout the process. These include hydration, temperature, time spent outside the body, and, of course, gentle handling of the grafts.

These factors are extremely significant and have a major impact on the quality of the hair transplant. In addition to these core factors, there are secondary considerations such as the implantation technique, graft handling, and storage solutions, all of which must be taken into account.

When it comes to graft storage, HypoThermosol is the leading solution for follicle preservation, and it is the solution used at ChoiExpert to keep grafts alive while they remain outside the scalp until implantation is complete.

Among the secondary factors that a hair transplant surgeon must consider to improve procedural quality, the use of ex vivo storage of follicular units during transplantation is undoubtedly one of the most important.

A series of stressful conditions occur during hair transplantation from the moment grafts are extracted until the end of surgery, as well as during the first three days afterward. These include dehydration, mechanical trauma, hypoxia, ATP depletion, reperfusion injury, cold injury, and lactic acid accumulation — all of which reduce follicle graft survival rates.
