FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT
FUE Hair Transplant (Follicular Unit Extraction ) is the latest method of hair transplant. It differs from the FUT technique in that FUE does not leave a visible scar at the back the head. In FUE hair transplant, a small instrument is used to take out the hair root unit (graft) directly from the scalp. It does not involve cutting out strip of skin as in FUT hair transplant. This process is repeated until the hair transplant surgeon has collected enough follicular units (grafts) for the planned hair transplant. This process can take one or more hours. For large sessions, may be accomplished over two consecutive days.
The size if instrument is very small, approximately 0.7- 0.9 mm. Back of the head completely heal over the course of seven to ten days. Scars in FUE technique are very tiny white scars. They get buried in the surrounding hair. FUE is minimally invasive procedure resulting in less post-operative pain and restrictions in movement. Thus in FUE technique of Hair Transplant, hair growth treatment, hair roots are taken one-by-one directly from the back of the head.
The extracted grafts (roots) are implanted in the bald area. This is done by creating tiny “recipient sites” (holes) using a fine instrument. The follicular units or grafts are then placed into the holes. These roots will grow into healthy hair-producing follicles.
