What Is FUE Hair Transplant Method?

What Is FUE Hair Transplant Method? Hair transplantation with FUE method is the most used method of patients in the world. In fact, we can call it the FUE method is best for hair transplant. The reason why this method is one of the most preferred methods is that doctors do not cut the patient’s scalp during this process. FUE is the abbreviated form of the expression Follicular Unit Extraction. This is the first time a Japanese doctor has used this method.

The doctor applied this procedure in 1988 with a 1 mm punch tool. But the FUE method was only able to enter its medical resources in 2002. In this method, doctors take hair follicles from the designated donor area and add them to the desired area in the same way. Because it is an individual procedure, its sessions take slightly longer than other methods. The fue method is also divided into techniques in itself:

Micro FUE Method:

This method is an improved version of the ordinary FUE method. In this hair transplantation technique, the doctor takes the hair follicles with equipment with micro-tips. Doctors use micro-motors in this method. These micro-motor-tips are capable of drilling holes of 0.6 – 0.9 mm. Experts open micro circles on the scalp and separate the hair root from its surrounding tissue.

Sapphire FUE Method:

In this method, hair is removed, as in the same FUE method. But unlike the FUE method, doctors use pencil-shaped sapphire ore instead of steel. In this way, doctors can open channels that are smaller and purer than steel. In this way, the scalp heals quite quickly.

Soft FUE Method:

In this method, the patient’s consciousness is clear. Sedation is administered to the patient at a dose that will not feel pain, and the patient is awake throughout the operation. Advantages of this method; because the patient is awake, he can meet his needs during the operation process. And the patient can return home after the procedure is complete.

Why FUE Hair Transplantation Is Best?

The reason FUE hair transplant is the best method is that the hair transplantation area is not stitched and this accelerates the healing process. After good healing, it also provides a natural look. In other words, it will provide ‘ease of operation’.

Because doctors perform individual procedures in the area where the hair will be removed, the area where the roots are taken does not bleed too much and no traces remain. That’s why it promises ‘easy implementation.

Another reason why FUE hair transplantation is best is that the doctor applies local anesthesia to the patient, and during this time the procedure ends painlessly and quickly.

One of the best features of this process is that it can provide treatment even to patients who do not have too many donor hairs roots on the scalp. And, of course, the fact that the permanent effect rate is very high also makes FUE hair transplantation the best.

How Long Is the Duration of FUE Hair Transplantation?

Of course, this time varies according to the process that will be applied to the hair. But we can say that during this procedure, if the doctor sows 4000-5000 hair grafts, the length of this operation is 6-7 hours. But these operations can also last up to 9 hours. Generally, there is a break every 2-3 hours during the procedure. If we look at the factors that will affect the length of the process;

  • The size of the area where the transplant process will be applied is important.
  • Depending on the size of this area, the number of grafts to be taken from the donor area is also important.
  • It is very important that the hair technique is suitable for the operation to be applied, and the experience of the doctor who will perform the operation is very, very important.

What the Patient Should Do Before FUE Hair Transplantation?

  • As with any operation, patients must follow some rules before FUE hair transplantation. The patient should cut their hair on the instructions of their doctor.
  • Hair must be clean before the procedure.
  • During the few weeks before the operation, the patient should not use alcohol as much as possible.
  • Likewise, smoking should be abandoned a week before the operation.
  • A week before the operation, the patient should not tire their body, reduce sports activities.
  • And on the day of the operation, the patient should have had a good breakfast. The patient should be full during the operation.

Process After FUE Hair Transplantation

Hair that is planted soon after hair transplantation falls out. But the patient should not be afraid of this condition. Because soon, permanent hair will replace those that fall out. The patient should rest and not travel for the first 6-10 hours after the operation. The patient should definitely not touch the treated area and avoid contact with water. Make sure to use the medications recommended by your doctor.

Benefits of FUE Method

As mentioned earlier, there are no traces left because the piercing process is not applied to the scalp.

After the procedure, the pain almost never occurs, and the healing process is quite fast.

6 months after the procedure, the hair begins to look visually good. And after 1-1.5 years after the procedure, the hair gets a completely natural look.

Another feature that makes FUE hair transplantation the best is that there are no health problems after the operation.
