What is FUE Hair Transplant?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Hair Transplant is a modern hair restoration technique used to treat hair loss. It involves extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, and transplanting them to the recipient area where thinning or baldness has occurred.
BENEFITS OF FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT
High Graft Quality
The FUE systems we use allows us to select the healthiest and strongest hair follicles for successful harvesting and transplant.
Natural Looking Results
The FUE method harvests and transplants hairs in their natural groupings. This gives hair a more natural appearance and allows you to wear your hair as short as you like with without having to worry about a visible scar in the donor area/back of your head.
No Pain During Or After Treatment
Similar to a trip to the dentist, the FUE procedure uses local anesthesia to ensure minimal discomfort during the procedure. Since the FUE transplant uses a minimally invasive method, many patients experience minimal during or after their procedure.
Short Recovery Time
With no scalpel or stitches used in the treatment, the recovery process after an FUE transplant is quick, with many people getting back to their daily activities within 5 days. The procedure itself only takes about 6 to 8 hours.
Minimal Scarring in Donor Area
Since the follicles are harvested in a random fashion, the look and density of the donor area is minimally affected. FUE is a treatment of choice for people that prefer to wear their hair very short at the back because the donor area looks unaffected by the extractions.
FUE VS FUT
The main difference between an FUE hair transplant and a FUT hair transplant is how the hair is extracted. With a FUT hair transplant, the removal of a strip of hair at the back of the head will result in a linear scar, whereas the extraction and transplantation of individual follicular units done during a FUE hair transplant results in far more minimal scarring overall — a scars resulting from an FUE transplant will look like a small dots. FUT hair transplant generally takes less time than an FUE hair transplant, though this will depend on the patient, and the amount of hair to be transplanted overall.
FUE transplants can be just as successful as the more traditional FUT method, with graft survival rates of 95%. The level of success is based the skill, knowledge, and experience of the doctor and the medical team performing the procedure.
Whether you choose FUT hair transplant or FUE hair transplant will depend on several factors, which will be discussed in a consultation with your surgeon. Often, individuals who require a larger number of hair grafts due to more severely thinning hair are better candidates for a FUT procedure, as FUT grafts generally provide a greater yield of follicles for transplanting.
FUE transplants, on the other hand, might be better suited for those who wish to return to their everyday activities shortly after their transplant, as the recovery time after an FUE procedure is very short with very minimal downtime.
Your surgeon will consult with you to determine which procedure is right for your transplant needs, which will involve assessing the amount of grafts needed and the quality of the donor’s hair and the available time off after the procedure.
A Hair Transplant Is An Investment , You can get a hair transplant done for a very low/cheap price.
