FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE ), is a hair transplant method in which the doctor extracts the follicular units of hair, from the donor area of your head, one by one . The doctor uses a small microneedle , which punches a tiny incision around a hair follicle before extraction . Each unit contains one to four hairs. These one to four hair groupings (called follicular unit grafts) are then transplanted into the balding areas of your head. In this method thus, there is no need for the surgeon to make a long incision in the donor area.
-If you have been diagnosed with a condition which prevents natural hair growth. -If you are above 25 years of age and have been balding for many years , and now your rashes on the scalp hair loss has stabilized . -If you find do medically proven hair loss treatments do not work for you. -If you have a stable supply of donor hair. ARE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR FUE?
- If you have lost hair due to traumas such as burns or cosmetic procedures such as facelift. - If you are at risk for thickened donor scars due to excessive scalp tightness or laxity. - If you would like to sport short hairstyles . - If you do not have a problem to shave your head. (The donor area needs to be shaved for an FUE procedure.)
WHAT HAPPENS DURING FUE PROCEDURE
PROCEDURE -At the outset, the surgeon anesthetizes the scalp. -Using a small microneedle , we make a circular incision , less than 1 mm in diameter, around a follicular un it on your head, to isolate a graft. -Then , using a tweezer -like instrument, we will extract the follicular unit from your donor area. Multiple follicular units are extracted this way.
-Before the process of harvesting the follicular units, tiny holes are drilled on your scalp, where hair loss has occurred . -The follicular units are then placed in these holes , from where they gradually start yielding hair . -A disinfectant is gently applied to your head after the procedure.
FOLLICULAR UNIT EXTRACTION
RISKS AND DISADVANTAGES - Hundreds of tiny round white scars on the head caused by the incisions to extract the hair follicles, which will be typically invisible to the human eye after your hair has grown out . - Numbness , bleeding, itching, swelling around the eyes and forehead, and temporary cyst formation on the areas where the hair is being transplanted . - Risk of infection and inflammation, if proper care is not taken during and after the surgery.
- Experiencing shock hair loss , which is temporary and the hair usually grows back in 3-6 months. - Costly , tedious and a time-consuming procedure as individual follicular units are extracted . -Not be suitable for large areas of baldness . -A hair loss treatment programme is required for maintenance, post the operation.
ADVANTAGES It is a less invasive surgery with no visible scarring in the donor area. It is ideal for short sessions and for patients in early stages of hair loss. It is ideal for patients who would like to sport short hairstyles.
It is ideal for patients who have no problem in shaving their heads. It is ideal for mustache or eyebrow replacement.
POST TREATMENT GUIDELINES
-Sleep in a semi-sitting position after the hair restoration procedure. -This will help the swelling to reduce faster and prevent you from accidentally touching the areas where the hair follicles have been transplanted . - Avoid touching, scratching, and rubbing the area where the hair follicles have been transplanted .
-You may have to shampoo your hair twice a day after around 7 days of the surgery. -Take the medications prescribed. - Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol for two weeks after the surgery . -Cover your head with hats or a bandana to avoid direct contact with UV rays .
