STICK AND PLACE
IMPLANTATION
The “Stick and Place” (S&P) method of implantation involves incising and promptly grafting. This technique allows for smaller, less invasive blades.
WHAT IS THE STICK AND PLACE METHOD?
Using local anesthesia, skilled incisions are made to graft without scarring. The skin shrinks promptly after openings. Additionally, a specialized blade dilates the incision, adjusts the graft’s height, and stops bleeding.
​
The “stick and place” technique eliminates the need for larger openings as grafts are placed simultaneously, preventing unnecessary skin shrinkage.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE STICK AND PLACE TECHNIQUE?
Benefits of the Stick and Place Technique:
​
– Achieves more natural results.
– Improves blood supply to nearby existing hair follicles.
– Ensures no risk of unfilled openings.
– Reduces bleeding.
– Minimizes follicular and vascular trauma.
– Prevents the placement of two grafts in the same hole.
– Helps avoid errors in planning.
– Facilitates easier distribution and direction of grafts.
– Allows for adjustment of incision size.
– Provides a longhair preview.
– Enhances graft quality.
​
Disadvantages of the Stick and Place Technique:
​
– Limited to a maximum of 2,000 grafts per session.
– Not suitable for individuals requiring 7,000-8,000 grafts (equivalent to 2 FUE sessions).
– Requires a large team of technicians.
