What is Fue Hair Transplant?

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a modern hair transplant technique that involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area and transplanting them to the recipient area. Unlike the traditional FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) method, FUE does not require the removal of a strip of scalp, making it a less invasive procedure with minimal scarring.

How Does the FUE Procedure Work?

The FUE procedure consists of the following steps:

  • Consultation and Planning: The surgeon evaluates the patient’s hair loss pattern and determines the number of grafts needed.
  • Preparation: The donor area, usually the back or sides of the scalp, is shaved to facilitate the extraction process.
  • Extraction: Individual follicular units are removed using a micro-puncture instrument, usually measuring between 0.6 mm and 1.0 mm in diameter.
  • Graft Storage: The extracted follicles are stored in a special solution to preserve their vitality.
  • Creating the Recipient Area: Small incisions are made in bald areas to place the grafts.
  • Implantation: Follicles are carefully implanted into prepared areas following the natural hair growth pattern.
  • Post-Procedure Care: The patient is given instructions on how to care for the newly transplanted hair and prevent complications.
Advantages of FUE Hair Transplantation
  • Minimally Invasive: No linear scars, leading to faster healing.
  • Natural-Looking Results: Grafts are strategically placed to match natural hair growth.
  • Less Discomfort: The procedure involves minimal pain and discomfort compared to traditional methods.
  • Short Recovery Time: Most patients return to normal activities within a few days.
  • Suitable for Various Hair Types: Can be performed on different hair textures and scalp conditions.
Who is a Good Candidate for FUE?

FUE is suitable for people who are experiencing hair thinning or baldness due to genetic factors, hormonal changes or injuries.

Ideal candidates:

  • Having sufficient donor hair.
  • Being in good general health.
  • Having realistic expectations about results.
Post-Procedure Care and Recovery

After FUE hair transplantation, patients must follow these rules:

  • Avoid touching or scratching the treated area.
  • Avoid intense physical activity for at least a week.
  • Sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling.
  • Take prescribed medications to prevent infection and promote healing.
  • Expect the transplanted hair to fall out within a few weeks; new hair growth usually begins after 3-4 months.
Possible Risks and Side Effects

Although FUE is a safe procedure, some possible side effects include:

  • Swelling and redness in treated areas.
  • Temporary shock loss (temporary shedding of transplanted hair).
  • Small scabs that heal within a few days.
  • Rare cases of folliculitis (inflammation of the hair follicles).

Conclusion FUE hair transplantation is an effective and minimally invasive solution for hair restoration. With proper care and expert guidance, patients can achieve natural and long-lasting results. If you are considering FUE hair transplantation, consult a qualified professional to determine if this procedure is right for you.
