WHY CHOOSE FUE Method?
People choose the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method for hair transplants because it is minimally invasive, leaves no linear scars, and offers a faster recovery time compared to traditional methods. It provides natural-looking results by individually extracting and implanting hair follicles, ensuring precise placement. FUE is also less painful and allows patients to resume normal activities quickly, making it a preferred choice for effective and discreet hair restoration.
PROCEDURE OF FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT?
The first step involves preparing the patient for surgery, taking photographs, and determining the target and donor areas. The donor site will be anaesthetised using local anaesthetics, and the hair follicles will be removed from the site over approximately three hours.
The removed follicles are soaked in a special solution while the target area is anaesthetised, and the canals are opened using specialised tools. The open canals are then filled with hair follicles over a further three hours. The entire procedure lasts between six and nine hours. After surgery, a bandage will be applied to the donor area.
Transplanted follicles will start to become strong one week after surgery. The transplanted hair will grow for two to three weeks before falling out. However, the follicles will stay in place. After another week, the hair will begin to grow again. Patients can expect to see visible hair growth in the front area after six to eight months, and in the top area after eight to 12 months.
FUE Hair Transplant painful?
Patients may experience mild aches following the procedure.
Painkillers and antibiotics will be prescribed to prevent excessive pain and possible infections.
