The percutaneous technique is a method in hair transplantation, in which hair follicles are directly inserted into the scalp without prior channel opening.

During this process, very fine needles or special implantation instruments create microscopically small openings immediately before the grafts are placed. The hair follicle is positioned in a single step. In contrast to classical methods, the previous creation of channels with a scalpel or knife is omitted.

The advantage of the percutaneous technique lies in its high precision. Growth direction, hair angle, and depth can be controlled very accurately, which is particularly important in sensitive areas such as the hairline, the temples, or the beard. Since there are no large incisions, the surrounding tissue is preserved, which can reduce the risk of scarring and inflammation.

The percutaneous technique requires a lot of experience and a precise working method from the treating physician. It is often used in combination with modern methods such as DHI or FUE and aims to achieve a result that is as natural and uniform as possible.
