Plasma Fusion & Cold Storage: Protecting Hair Grafts After Extraction
In any hair transplant procedure, while extracting the grafts (follicular units) is crucial, the care provided between extraction and implantation is just as vital for the final outcome.
Once grafts are removed from the scalp, their lifeline—the blood supply—is severed. They enter a critical phase called ischemia, meaning they are deprived of essential oxygen and nutrients. The duration of this deprivation is directly linked to the graft survival rate; the longer it lasts, the higher the risk of losing valuable follicles.
To actively prevent ischemia and maximize success, AdonisMed employs two key scientific techniques: Plasma Fusion (enriching the holding solution) and Cold Storage Technique. These advanced measures ensure the longevity and vitality of every graft, significantly enhancing the overall success and guaranteeing the best hair transplant results possible.
1. Plasma Fusion: a nourishing bath for the grafts
Plasma is the liquid part of the blood, in which blood cells float. When we say PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), it means plasma that has been concentrated with platelets. It is obtained by drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood and spinning it in a centrifuge.
Why is this useful?
● Platelets contain growth factors — natural proteins that stimulate healing and tissue regeneration.
● PRP becomes a nutritive bath where grafts can be placed immediately after extraction.
● This keeps the follicles hydrated, protected, and already exposed to substances that will promote their regrowth once implanted.
In short: Plasma Fusion works like a “natural serum” that keeps grafts alive and in good condition while they wait to be implanted.
2. Cold Storage: preserving grafts with cooling
A graft, once extracted, continues to consume its internal energy. At room temperature, it quickly becomes exhausted.
Cold storage means placing the grafts in a sterile, nutritive solution kept cool (around 4 to 10 °C / 39 to 50 °F).
Why cooling?
● Cooling slows down the metabolism (cell activity) of the graft.
● This reduces the damage caused by the lack of blood supply (ischemia).
● As a result, grafts remain viable for longer and are implanted in better condition.
3. A matter of time
The rule is simple: the faster grafts are re-implanted, the better they survive.
● In the first few hours, survival is excellent.
● Thanks to the Plasma Fusion + Cold Storage combination, grafts stay viable much longer than with simple room-temperature storage, which increases the chances of dense and natural regrowth.
Conclusion
Plasma Fusion (a bath of platelet-rich plasma) and Cold Storage (controlled cooling) are two essential steps that maximize graft survival after extraction.
These methods reduce the effects of ischemia, nourish and protect the follicles, and lead to more reliable results: better density, more natural regrowth, and long-lasting outcomes.
Suitable for all hair types including yours!
The FUE technique is the main point of a hair transplant! The extraction of the Grafts with the FUE technique is the most modern and most effective technique which is up to date as well. To perform this technique will ensure a natural result.
The benefits of a hair transplant with the FUE technique is that the donation area will be still aeasthetically intact. One of the main benefits are also that the grafts are extracted unharmed.
To perform the FUE technique, a high precision micromotor is used with a hollow needle.
