FUE Method Applied in Hair Transplantation
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a hair transplantation method where hair follicles are individually harvested using micro punches, typically 0.6mm to 0.8mm in diameter, under local anesthesia. These follicles are then meticulously implanted into balding areas, considering the natural angle and direction of hair growth. Each graft collected usually contains about 2-3 hair follicles. In an average session, 4000-6000 grafts, equating to 8000-12000 hair follicles, can be obtained. The duration of the procedure varies from 5 to 7 hours depending on the size of the balding area. Key considerations in hair transplantation include adherence to hospital and surgical theater standards. The recipient area where hair follicles will be implanted is marked beforehand, and channels are created to accommodate the size and direction of each follicle.
FUE Advantages
In the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique, only hair follicles are extracted from the donor area without removing tissue. No incisions are made in the donor area; only tiny wounds smaller than 1 mm occur where the hair follicles are taken. Hair follicles extracted using the FUE technique can be used for beard, eyebrow, and mustache transplants. Up to 6,000 hair follicles can be harvested in one session, each containing 2-3 hairs. The FUE hair transplantation method involves placing hair follicles at frequent intervals, resulting in a natural and dense appearance of hair. FUE ensures minimal tissue trauma and loss of sensation, and the procedure performed under local anesthesia is virtually painless both during and after.
Frequently Asked Questions
The recovery time in FUE method hair transplantation is very fast. It is necessary to protect from external contact during the first 1 week. For this, dressing is done using bandages. Washing with special lotion and shampoo is continued for the first 10-15 days, and then normal shampoos can be used.
Shedding may occur within the first 1 month after the FUE procedure. The best growth starts from the 6th month and your hair will reach its most natural and thick state after 1 year.
Who Can Have FUE Hair Transplantation?
Initially, during the first consultation, it is determined whether hair transplantation is necessary. If the hair transplant specialist identifies that hair follicles are viable or experiencing temporary shedding during the examination, they will seek solutions with treatments to strengthen the hair roots. Hair transplantation is applied to individuals experiencing hair loss due to age, hormones, or genetic predisposition. Additionally, it can be performed on bare areas caused by burns, aesthetic procedures, or hair loss due to illness.
