FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is one of the modern hair transplantation techniques. In this technique, individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area and then transplanted to the area to be transplanted. This procedure, which is performed with microsurgical instruments, is minimally invasive and generally has less risk of scarring.
The FUE technique is an important advancement in the hair transplantation process. This method allows patients to achieve natural and aesthetic results. In addition, the recovery process is usually faster and post-operative pain is minimal. It is important to consult with a hair transplant specialist to determine if you are a suitable candidate for FUE hair transplantation.
How is FUE Hair Transplantation Performed?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplantation is a process that includes the following steps:
- Determination of the Donor Area: The first step is to determine the donor area where the hair follicles will be taken. Generally, the back of the nape is preferred as the most suitable donor area for FUE hair transplantation.
- Removal of Hair Roots: Hair follicles are taken one by one from the donor area with microsurgical instruments. This procedure should be performed carefully and care should be taken to preserve the natural appearance of the hair.
- Channel Opening: In the area to be transplanted, channels are opened where the hair follicles will be placed. The depth and angle of these channels are determined in accordance with the natural hair growth angles.
- Transplantation of Hair Roots: The hair follicles are placed in the area to be transplanted using a special tool or glue. Placing the hair follicles at the correct angle and depth is important for obtaining natural and aesthetic results.
- Recovery Process: After FUE hair transplantation, it is normal for patients to experience mild swelling and redness for a few days. However, these symptoms usually subside within a few days and the healing process begins.
