FUE Hair Transplant

FUE hair transplantation is the process of removing individual hair follicles directly from the donor area (usually the back of the head) and transplanting them into bald or sparsely haired areas. Each follicular unit can contain 1-4 hair strands and this method provides a natural hair density and appearance without scarring.

Advantages of FUE

The FUE method is particularly preferred due to the following advantages:

• Minimal Trace Since each hair follicle is removed individually, no large incisions are made, which prevents the formation of noticeable scars on the skin.
• Low Pain and Discomfort: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and offers extremely low levels of pain and discomfort.
• Fast Recovery Process: FUE offers the advantage of a short recovery time. Most patients can return to their normal activities a few days after the procedure.
• Natural Looking Results: Since the hair follicles are transplanted in the natural growth direction of the hair, the results provide a natural look.

FUE Hair Transplant Process

The FUE procedure involves the following steps:

1. Planning and Consulting

It all starts with a detailed hair analysis and consultation. At this stage, the patient's hair structure, the cause of hair loss and expectations are evaluated.

2. Preparation of the Donor Site

Before the procedure, the donor area is shortened. This allows the hair follicles to be removed more easily.

3. Local Anesthesia

The donor and recipient areas are numbed with local anesthesia so that the patient does not feel discomfort.

4. Removal of Follicular Units

Using a special instrument, individual follicular units are carefully removed from the donor site. This stage is the most important part of the procedure and requires high attention.

5. Preparation of the receiving area and planting

In the recipient site, canals are made into which the harvested follicular units are transplanted. The follicles are then carefully inserted into these channels.

Recovery and Care

Recovery after FUE hair transplantation is usually fast and without complications. Mild swelling and discomfort may be felt for the first few days after the procedure. To support the healing process and achieve the best results, the care instructions recommended by the doctor should be followed.

Expected Results

The transplanted hair follicles may fall out in the first few weeks; this is a normal process. Real hair growth usually starts after 3-4 months. The results can be fully evaluated after one year from the date of the procedure.

Who is it suitable for?

FUE hair transplantation is suitable for men and women with sufficient donor hair follicles and stable hair loss. It is also ideal for those who can adapt to the healing process and the necessary aftercare.
