Fue Hair Transplant

What is the FUE Technique?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is one of the first methods that comes to mind when it comes to hair transplantation. The feature of the FUE method is that no incision is made on the scalp; This provides advantages both during the operation and during the healing process. In addition, the fact that there will be no scars and incisions after the operation increases the preference of the patients.

What are the Stages of the FUE Method?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. After the area where the hair to be transplanted will be taken is prepared for the procedure, the hair follicles in suitable condition are collected one by one. Root collection is performed with incision tips smaller than 1 mm (between 0.6 mm and 0.8 mm) with the FUE motor. The roots (Graft) taken contain 2-3 hair strands. In the meantime, it is very important that the roots are not damaged. Since thousands of roots will be removed from the donor area during hair transplantation, the small tip to be used affects the healing process of the area.

After all the hair follicles are collected, transplantation is started after the separation process. The channels must be opened very carefully for the sowing process. Grooving is a process that requires precision and experience as much as root harvesting.

The lateral slit method, which has recently been preferred instead of the punch system when opening the canal, makes the incisions suitable for the structure of the hair, allowing the opening of channels suitable for the size and length of the patient's hair follicle. . The channels opened in the right size and depth affect the regrowth rate of the transplanted hair.

Another important issue is the angle of the canal where the hair follicles will be transplanted. Angles, which are the biggest factor in capturing the natural hairstyle, should be given to each part of the head differently. Otherwise, the hair will not take the desired shape. Another factor to achieve naturalness is the correct determination of the hairline. The forehead area and the area where the hair starts should be calculated in the right proportions.

What Should Be Considered After the Surgery?

After the operation, just like in obotic Hair Surgery and DHI method, it is checked on the first day, washed after 48 hours and continued for 10 days as in the others. The hair that grows out of the transplanted hair follicles grows in 2-3 weeks, but then the hair falls out. This situation is temporary. After resting for a few weeks, the hair starts to grow again and returns to its normal state after 6 months. It may take longer for the hair in some areas to reach this state.
