FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT

Technological advancements have revolutionized solutions to aesthetic concerns, offering permanent remedies for issues like hair loss, which can significantly impact self-esteem. Unfortunately, hair loss has become increasingly prevalent, driven by a variety of factors. Hair transplantation has emerged as the preferred solution to address hair loss, primarily for cosmetic reasons. Among the various hair transplant techniques, Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) stands out as the most popular method. Prior to FUE, the Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) technique was the primary approach in hair transplantation. However, the FUE technology has gained prominence due to its superior results, faster recovery times, and a less complex surgical process. Today, both men and women favor the FUE technique for hair restoration.

The FUE procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, offering several advantages over FUT. One key distinction is the minimal incisions and the absence of stitches in FUE. In FUT, hair follicles are harvested by removing a strip of skin, whereas FUE involves the individual extraction of follicles using micro motor devices.

One significant benefit of FUE hair transplantation is the absence of incision or stitch scars after the operation. In FUT, hair follicles are obtained by creating incisions in strips, leaving noticeable scars. Conversely, in FUE, each follicle is individually extracted with micro motor devices and transplanted to the target area.

Aftercare for FUE:          

• Patients should refrain from touching, scratching, or rubbing the transplanted area for the first 48 hours.
• The initial hair wash following the procedure should be conducted two to four days post-operation under the supervision of a physician (timing may vary for each patient).
• Saunas, spa facilities, swimming, or bathing are not permitted during the first two weeks after the hair transplant.
• When showering, patients must use lukewarm water with low water pressure to avoid damaging the scalp.
• For 30 days following the procedure, patients should shield the scalp from direct sunlight.
• It’s common to experience scabs and pimples in the initial two weeks post-operation, which should not be disturbed and will heal naturally with proper care.

Advantages of FUE Hair Transplantation:

• Faster Recovery: FUE preserves tissue integrity, as follicles are individually extracted.
• Minimal Incisions: The use of micro tips for follicle extraction eliminates the need for large incisions and stitches.
