Follicular unit extraction (FUE), is a type of hair transplant surgery or hair loss treatment that involves the removal of individual follicular cells from the scalp of patients and their transplantation into the area balding.
Patients are administered local anesthesia before the procedure. This is used in both the recipient and donor areas. We often find that patients fall asleep as grafts are being removed and transplanted.
Each follicular unit is grafted manually with a small round punch. These follicles are then used to cover the areas that have become bald. The recipient site can be prepared with a fine needle. After that, the follicles may be placed in their final place to grow into healthy, hair-producing cells. To match your natural growth characteristics, the grafts will be expertly blended into any thinning areas or balding areas. FUE grafts are more vulnerable because there is less protective tissue around the roots. We will talk you through the aftercare process.
Hair transplants work, short answer. Hair transplants work in the same way as other types of transplants. However, the transplanted tissue comes from your own hair and will not be rejected. Before the hair is surgically transplanted into the recipient area, it is removed from the donor area. The constant blood supply to the scalp ensures that the hair remains healthy. The hair will retain the same characteristics and continue to grow as the rest of the patient's hair. It is no surprise that approximately 50,000 people have hair restoration surgery each year.
To ensure the best healing, proper aftercare is essential. Crown Clinic offers a detailed aftercare plan that provides you with daily instructions to make the process as simple as possible. The donor hair should fall within 14 to 28 days after the surgery. New hair growth will begin approximately 4 to 6 months later.
Hair transplant surgery, like most minor surgeries, can cause discomfort. It is performed under local anaesthesia so it is painless. A minor sedative may also possibly be given. Many patients find that they can read or watch a movie during surgery.
Your hair transplant will last a lifetime if you go to a qualified hair transplant surgeon.
The average operation takes between 4 and 8 hours. This delicate procedure requires precision and takes time.
