Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) | Hair Restoration Turkey

Follicular Unit Extraction for Hair Restoration

During an FUE hair transplant, a highly experienced doctor extracts hair follicles from the donor area, mainly the back of the neck. The doctor performs this procedure by using a sapphire tip extraction device less than 2mm in diameter. Then, follicles are transferred to the recipient area on the scalp and implanted in groups of one to four hairs, as they grow naturally.

What is an FUE Hair Transplant?

FUE, or Follicular Unit Extraction, is a popular surgical technique used in hair transplantation procedures to treat hair loss or baldness. It is a minimally invasive method that involves harvesting individual hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back or sides of the head, where hair is more resistant to balding) and transplanting them into the recipient area (the bald or thinning region).

Benefits of an FUE Hair Transplant Procedure

NO VISIBLE SCARRING

FUE leaves tiny, nearly undetectable scars at the donor site, and there’s no linear scar as in the traditional strip method

THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY

Utilizes advanced technology. No sutures or staples are required.

SUITABLE FOR ALL HAIR TYPES

Allows for a more natural-looking hairline due to precise placement of individual follicles.

A LASTING SOLUTION

Surgical hair restoration is the only way to permanently restore your own hair—and FUE could be the right option for you.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Follicular Unit Extraction?

FUE relies on the availability of healthy donor hair follicles, typically from the back or sides of the head. A good candidate should have an adequate supply of donor hair, which can be used to transplant to the recipient area. The density and quality of the donor hair are crucial factors.

Candidates should have stable hair loss patterns. It’s essential that the underlying cause of hair loss is not actively progressing. If hair loss is still advancing, it may be necessary to address the underlying issue or stabilize it before considering a transplant.

Candidates should be in overall good health and not have any medical conditions that could interfere with the healing process or increase the risk of complications during or after the surgery. A thorough medical evaluation may be necessary.

Certain medical conditions, medications, or lifestyle factors can be contraindications for FUE.

Follicular Unit Extraction: An Affordable & Effective Solution

The Hair Society states that 35 million men and 21 million women in the US suffer from some form of hair loss. The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery says that FUE hair transplantation procedures are currently the most popular hair transplant option.

So why is this method so popular? In addition to being effective and affordable, an FUE procedure is non-invasive and less likely to result in visible scarring. Because we extract one hair follicle at a time, there is a shorter recovery time and less discomfort during the procedure itself.

FAQ

How Should I Prepare for the FUE Procedure?

To prepare for your procedure, it’s recommended that you stop taking blood-thinning medications or supplements. However, it’s important that you consult with your primary care physician before stopping or changing any medication plan. We also recommend that you avoid vitamins or dietary supplements for at least two weeks before the procedure.

What Can I Expect During Recovery?

During the first two weeks, it’s important to be gentle with the donor and recipient areas. You should protect your scalp from the sun and any friction from external elements. Also, it’s best to sleep with your head elevated to reduce the swelling and to help avoid any swelling on your forehead. You can use over-the-counter painkillers to help with any discomfort.

Are There Any Risks or Side Effects Associated with Follicular Unit Extraction?

While side effects are rare, the most common side effects you may experience include minor bleeding, swelling, itching, or dry skin. Pain, swelling, and minor bleeding may happen right after the transplant, but it’s unlikely and will stop after a few days. Itching is a common reaction, and it occurs as your scalp begins to heal. Remember not to scratch your scalp to avoid disturbing the transplanted hair follicles. It’s rare to experience side effects like infection after a hair follicular unit extraction, but without proper aftercare, it is a possibility.
