FUE (FOLLICULAR UNIT EXTRACTION) HAIR TRANSPLANTATION
One of the newest and most successful techniques in Hair Transplantation, FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) provides natural-looking results while picking up the hair follicles and placing them, too. The FUE method is based on transferring live hair follicles from the donor area to the receded or bald areas.
In this technique, hair follicles are taken one by one with micro-motors and round-tipped cutters. Since the follicle is transferred, hair does not grow in that area again but as the healing proceeds and small incisions are closed, adjacent hair follicles approach each other and prevent sparse-looking hair in the donor area.
Unlike traditional methods, the FUE technique does not require lancet usage or stitching up, and thanks to that this technique prevents visible scars where the hair follicles are picked up. That means you don’t have to pause daily activities when you get a hair transplant.
Even though the way of picking up the follicles differs in FUE and FUT techniques, placing them is based on similar principles. Since the follicles picked up with the FUE method are thinner they leave smaller scars in the transplant area while placing and provide a more natural look.
For the best results with the FUE method, the hair needs to be shaved 1mm for better visibility and hygiene.
Nowadays, thanks to the FUE Technique’s speed and effectiveness, transplanting 4000-5000 grafts in one session is routine for IMI trichologists.
