What is FAIR?

FAIR (Follicular Artificial Intelligence Restoration) uses artificial intelligence as a tool to transform hair transplantation from a “manual art” into a data-driven, high-precision scientific procedure. It is not a competitor to traditional FUE/DHI methods, but rather their more advanced, measurable, and repeatable evolution. The direction, depth, thickness, and placement density of each follicle are analyzed in millimetric detail; the treatment is informed by clinical records and machine learning algorithms. This optimizes graft yield, minimizes the need for a second session, and ensures both natural appearance and density.

Name and Origin Story: From Lab to Clinic

The term FAIR stands for Follicular Artificial Intelligence Restoration. It is more than a brand or label—it consolidates the core of the approach and reflects four dimensions: follicular accumulation, the decision-support power of AI, and the intent of restoration. The system was tested in clinical and lab environments for over a year. Thousands of data points were collected regarding donor area distribution, DHT sensitivity, hair shaft thickness, hair count per area, and exit angles. The model reached a certain level of reliability for planning and operational decisions through prototype planners, case studies, and blind comparisons.

Now, FAIR offers a “control panel” built on classical methods—delivering an AI-powered hair transplant protocol as the first of its kind at the professional level.

Why FAIR? Like Upgrading from a Keypad Phone to a Smartphone

The difference between FUE/DHI and FAIR is like moving from a basic phone to a smartphone. The core task—relocating hair follicles to where they belong—remains the same. What changes is the level of intelligent planning and attention to detail.

Millimetric Planning:

Each follicle’s target angle and depth are analyzed together with surrounding follicular density and scalp laxity.

Efficiency and Capacity:

Homogeneous usage of the donor area enables planning for up to 15,000 grafts in a single session. This significantly reduces the need for a “return in a year.”

Natural Look and Density:

Frontal hairline simulations are modeled using age, facial proportions, and hair type combinations to create a dense yet subtle aesthetic.

Minimized Risk:

The model identifies high DHT sensitivity, variations in root health, or microcirculatory limits, allowing the doctor to customize the approach in sensitive areas.

Clear Reporting:

A pre-op hair lab provides a PDF report covering graft capacity, root thickness, DHT ratio, and distribution maps. It’s data—not guesswork.

How FAIR Works: Data > Model > Plan > Application

A) Data Collection:

• Detailed macro/dermatoscopic scalp and hair imaging

• Ultrasound used for depth measurements

• Trichogram, DHT ratio, hair thickness—lab assessments

• Donor area density mapping

B) Modeling and Simulation:

• Density Aesthetics: Donor harvesting pattern and volume are made prosthetic, ensuring uniformity and optimal yield.

• Angle/Depth Table: Output angle, scalp thickness, and elasticity guide the targeted depth and angle per zone.

• Synthetic Frontlines: Natural hairline variants customized to age, facial proportions, ethnic hair types, and style preferences.

C) Operation Plan:

• Session Design: 6–7k grafts in one day; larger plans (e.g. 12k grafts) are split over two days (6k+6k).

• Graft Source: Up to 15,000 grafts, if the donor allows. Beard grafts can supplement as needed. The model suggests patterns and tools to minimize scarring.

• Pain-Free Process: Sedation + comfortable local anesthesia flow.

D) Execution and Quality Control:

• Real-Time Transplant Checklists: Angle, depth, and density tolerances are monitored throughout the process.

• Post-Op Verification: Tissue regeneration, phototherapy/ozone, and PRP are used; empirical data is collected during the first year and fed back into the model.

Who is FAIR Ideal For?

• Patients seeking full coverage: High graft capacity enables a dense single-procedure outcome.

• Hairline-conscious patients: Those seeking a natural, age-appropriate hairline that suits facial symmetry.

• Donor-limited patients with viable beard hair: The model ensures beard use with minimal cumulative risk.

• “Let’s finish this” mindset: For those with good donor conditions, the relief of not needing a second session is significant.

Clinical Advantages of FAIR (with package inclusions):

• AI-assisted hair analysis & reporting

• Pre-op blood/ECG tests

• 2 ozone sessions + 2 PRP + 2 phototherapy (laser) sessions

• Ultrasound-based graft depth measurement

• Pain-free process with sedoanalgesia

• Double Stem Cell support

• Dressing & washing services

• Full medical kit (antibiotics, anti-edema, analgesics)

• 6-month professional care set + 1-year follow-up

• In-clinic hotel-style 2-night accommodation (24/7 doctor/nurse monitoring)

FAIR vs FUE/DHI: Same Foundation, Smart Layer on Top

• Planning Depth: In FUE/DHI, experience matters; in FAIR, experience is supported with data and models. AI models assist clinical decision-making.

• Graft Extraction: Uses the same donor area, but aims to reduce root loss through intelligent patterning.

• Naturalness Normalization: Not based on “gut feeling” but on customizable hairline and density metrics.

• Follow-up/Model Feedback: One year of follow-up data helps the model “learn” from the patient.

• Safety and Expectation Management:

  • Like all medical procedures, FAIR has limitations.

  • Donor capacity, healing, genetics, and lifestyle affect results.

  • FAIR aims to measure and anticipate these factors, reducing risks—but does not claim “zero risk” or “guaranteed results.”

  • The goal is to turn the highest data-backed probability in the patient’s favor.
