FUE hair transplantation
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplantation is a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive surgical procedure that transplants individual follicular units from a donor area, usually the back or sides of the head, to a recipient area affected by thinning or baldness. During the procedure, the hair follicles are harvested using a microneedle with a diameter of approximately 0.8-1.0 mm, which avoids visible scarring at the harvest site. The follicles are then precisely implanted in the recipient area, taking into account the natural angle of hair growth. The FUE method is characterised by the absence of the need to cut the skin, eliminating visible scarring, as well as providing a shorter recovery time and a more natural end result.
FUE hair transplantation is a minimally invasive method that involves taking individual hair follicles from a donor area and transplanting them to the areas affected by baldness. The procedure provides a natural result, minimal scarring and a short recovery time.
Before the FUE procedure, the patient undergoes a consultation to assess the condition of the hair and plan the procedure. It is recommended to avoid alcohol, smoking and medications that affect blood clotting. The scalp should be clean and hair in the donor area may need to be shortened. Preparatory instructions are provided to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.
Recovery from FUE hair transplantation is short and comfortable due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure. Small scabs at the donor and implantation site heal within 7-10 days. Patients can return to daily activities after a few days, avoiding intense exercise, saunas and the sun for several weeks. The transplanted hair may fall out in the first few weeks, which is normal, and permanent hair will then grow back.
Before undergoing Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplantation, it is essential to consult with a qualified specialist to determine suitability and set realistic expectations. Patients should avoid smoking, alcohol, and certain medications, such as blood thinners, for at least a week before the procedure, as these can impact healing. Proper scalp care is crucial both pre- and post-operation; keep the area clean and avoid direct sun exposure or strenuous activities that may cause sweating or irritation. Following the post-procedure care plan, including prescribed medications and avoiding touching or scratching the scalp, is critical to ensuring optimal results and preventing infection.
Is the procedure painful?
FUE is performed under local anesthesia, so the process is generally painless. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or soreness during recovery, which can be managed with prescribed medications.
How long does it take to see results?
Visible results typically begin to appear after 3-4 months, as transplanted hair follicles enter the growth phase. Full results, including density and coverage, are usually achieved within 9-12 months post-procedure.
Are there any risks or side effects?
FUE is considered safe, but minor side effects like swelling, redness, or scabbing in the treated areas can occur. Rarely, complications like infection or uneven hair growth may arise, which is why following post-procedure care guidelines is essential.
