Planning to avail of FUE Hair Transplant: Know more about it!

FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction. In this surgical process, the surgeon removes individual follicles from the skin. They are implanted on other body parts that have experienced reduced or thinning hair. The newly implanted follicles make the area appear thicker. This technique is better than the FUT (Follicular unit transplantation) method. The entire scalp or skin piece is removed with follicles and transplanted to the target region.


Increasing popularity

FUE Hair Transplant is gaining more popularity than other procedures. It is because they don’t result in a ‘plug-like’ appearance, where skin sections fail to match the surrounding regions. They also don’t leave visible scars. People experiencing balding or thinning and still possessing sufficient follicles nearby can benefit from this transplant procedure. However, those lacking thick or healthy hair cannot are not eligible for it.


Cost

Costs vary depending on the clinic, the place where you avail them, and other factors. Multiple sessions are expensive. The cost depends on the amount of hair extracted and transplanted. The number of surgeons providing the procedure also determines the price. The other factors are the facilities offered at the unit, the surgeon’s experience, and expertise.

How does it work?

With age, the three-staged growth and regrowth cycle shortens. It occurs until follicles stop regrowing hairs. However, the process differs from one person to the other. Few people might experience balding at a younger age, while others might experience it at an older age. This procedure replaces the old follicles to restore hair that can grow. The blood vessels nourish the follicles after the procedure, thus developing healthy hair.


Understand the procedure

·       The surgeon shaves the hair around the transplanted region and the place where follicles are to be removed.

·       They use a micro-punch tool to remove the follicles from the targeted areas of the skin.

·       The surgeon uses a sharp tool or a needle to make several tiny incisions at the place of insertion of extracted follicles.

·       The follicles are then inserted into the incisions. Then, the area is cleaned thoroughly and bandaged for faster recovery.


Understand the targeted treatment areas and risks involved

This procedure is mostly performed on the scalp region. They are also performed on other areas of the body that experience thinning hair. It can be done on the genital region, legs, and arms. It doesn’t leave scars except a few tiny white dots at the place of follicle removal. However, these dots are not a concern and fade over time.


Side effects

A few rare side effects that require immediate doctor treatment are:

·       Crust or drainage at the place of surgery.

·       Symptoms of infection

·       Folliculitis (swelling of the follicles)

·       Swelling or pain in the surgical area.

·       Tingling or numbness sensation close to the surgical site.

·       Surgery site bleeding

·       Thinning or balding continues even after having the procedure.

·       Transplanted hair fails to appear like the surrounding hair.
