FUE Hair Transplant

What is FUE Hair Transplant?

• FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique.
• Individual hair follicles are extracted from a donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) and transplanted to areas with thinning or no hair.
• It is a popular procedure for male and female pattern baldness due to its natural-looking results and minimal scarring.
• Unlike traditional strip surgery, FUE leaves tiny, almost invisible scars and has a quicker recovery time.

FUE Hair Transplant can be done in:

• Significant hair thinning or bald patches on the scalp.
• A receding hairline or crown area balding.
• Hair loss from injury, burns, or previous surgeries.
• Permanent hair loss due to conditions like androgenetic alopecia.
• Pattern Baldness:
  • In men: Receding hairline or bald spot on the crown.
  • In women: Diffuse thinning, especially at the crown or parting line.
  • Significant hair thinning or bald patches on the scalp.
  • A receding hairline or crown area balding.
  • Permanent hair loss due to conditions like androgenetic alopecia.
• Localized Hair Loss:
  • Hair loss from injury, burns, or previous surgeries.
  • Eyebrow, beard, or mustache restoration.

FUE Hair Transplant Treatment:

1. Planning:
   • Hairline design and distribution of grafts for a natural look.
2. Extraction:
   • Hair follicles are extracted using a micro-punch tool under local anesthesia.
3. Preparation:
   • Extracted follicles are cleaned, sorted, and prepared for transplantation.
4. Transplantation:
   • Follicles are implanted into tiny incisions in the recipient area, mimicking natural hair growth.
5. Post-Procedure Care:
   • Detailed aftercare instructions are provided to ensure optimal healing and graft survival.

Treatment Outcome:

• Immediate Post-Procedure:
  • Mild redness and swelling in the treated area for a few days.
  • Tiny scabs form around transplanted follicles and shed within 10–14 days.
• Hair Growth Timeline:
  • Transplanted hair falls out within 2–4 weeks (shedding phase).
  • New hair begins to grow in 3–4 months.
  • Full results are visible after 9–12 months, with thicker, permanent hair growth.
• Natural Results:
  • Hair grows naturally, matching the original texture and pattern.

Key Takeaway for Patients

FUE hair transplant is a safe and effective solution for permanent hair restoration, offering natural-looking results with minimal downtime. Ensure the procedure is performed by a qualified dermatologist to minimize risks and achieve optimal results. Regular follow-ups and adherence to aftercare are crucial for the best outcomes.
