Manual Punch Versus Micromotor
During the hair purchase, I came across some discourses such as that the use of manual punches causes less damage to the hair, while the micro motor burns the skin, cuts the graft, causes extra damage. But I wonder if these are true statements? Do these two tools have an advantage over one another?
Manual punch is a pen-like tool that is often used in dentistry, dermatology and some other specialties, as well as hair transplant. There are sharp-edged tubes of different thicknesses and sizes at the tip of this tool and they are used to cut the skin deeply in a cylindrical manner. When using this tool, the skin around the hair follicles is cut in a cylindrical manner by being groped by the doctor. Then, the hair follicles, which are loosened by manual punch method, are collected one by one with graft clamping pliers (a kind of tweezer-like tool).
In the FUE technique with micromotor, the punch tips of different widths are rotated quickly thanks to a spacer (piyazemen) attached to the air motors that have a rotation deceleration. These sharp punch tips, which rotate rapidly, again create cylindrical, deep incisions around the hair follicles. Thus, the hair follicle can be loosened from the surrounding tissue and collected comfortably and without damage. In the micromotor method, the hair follicles are collected individually in the same way with graft clamping pliers.
The choice of manual-punch and micromotor applications in hair transplant operations performed by the FUE method does not depend on the hair quality, frequency, color, thickness, etc.; it completely depends on the doctor’s habits and preferences. In other words, it is the yogurt food of the valiant. The use of both tools does not affect the quality and yield of hair intake. In other words, although both tools do not have an advantage over each other, the use of a micromotor reduces the uptake time of hair follicles and leads to a more efficient operation.
