Say No To Baldness With This Hair Transplant

If you struggle with hair loss and recently visited a doctor, you most heard about the methods available to you to help prevent or reverse the problem.

A highly recommended option is a follicular unit extraction, otherwise known as an FUE. Nearly 93 percent of the members of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) have performed an FUE on their patients. Below, you will find everything you need to know about FUE and how it works.

What Is Follicular Unit Extraction?

FUE is a procedure performed by trusted medical professionals to transplant healthy hair follicles into areas of the head that are either thinning or suffering from baldness.

If possible, the doctor prefers to use hair from the scalp, typically located on the sides or back of the head. Your proposed doctor will remove healthy hair follicles from all the areas and then transplant them to the areas that are affected. Although this process might take a while, the results are very natural than strip surgery.

What Is The Process Like?

Your doctor will normally begin by applying a local anesthetic. Then, your doctor will remove individual follicles, typically one to four at a time. This is done with a microextraction instrument that is no more than a millimeter in diameter.

After your doctor has removed the follicles, he or she will use microneedles to make tiny holes in the affected areas of your scalp. The next step is to transplant healthy follicles into these punctures marks. When doing so, your doctor will do everything possible to ensure the transplant looks like a realistic hair pattern. Criteria considered includes:

Original hair color
Angle of the hair
Density of the hair

What Is The Timeline For The Procedure?

The length of time required for a successful FUE treatment depends on how many follicles need to be transplanted. All patients have the option to complete the treatment during an extended sitting. There is the option to complete the procedure over the course of several shorter sessions. Sessions that require a few thousand grafts can stretch over the course of two days.

Most patients after surgery do not report any pain with this procedure. On average, all patients tend to make full recovery in less than a week or few. There is no noticeable scarring from FUE procedures. Additionally, the results of the process are permanent.
