What is FUE Technique and How is it Performed?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a hair transplant technique. In this method, hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area (usually the nape of the neck) by creating very small holes and placed in the channels opened in the hairless area. In this way, a natural appearance is obtained and no significant trace remains in the donor area.
How is FUE Technique Performed?
Preparation: The patient is given local anesthesia before the procedure.
Extraction of Grafts: Hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area using a special device.
Channel Opening: Channels are opened in the hairless area where the hair follicles will be placed.
Graft Transplantation: The extracted hair follicles are placed one by one into the opened channels.
Advantages of FUE Technique
Natural Appearance: Since the hairs are transplanted according to their natural growth angles, the results are quite natural.
No Scar: There is no large scar in the donor area, only small dots are formed.
Fast Healing: The healing process after the procedure is generally short.
Minimal Pain: Thanks to local anesthesia, no pain is felt during and after the procedure. Advantages of FUE Technique Compared to Other Hair Transplant Methods
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique is one of the most preferred hair transplant methods today. It has many advantages compared to other methods:
Natural Appearance: In the FUE technique, since the hair follicles are taken one by one, the hairs are placed according to their natural growth angles after transplantation. This provides a very natural appearance.
No Scar: There is no large scar in the donor area, only small dots are formed. This is an important advantage, especially for people who have aesthetic concerns in the nape area.
Fast Healing: The healing process is generally faster in the FUE technique. You can return to your daily life in a short time.
Minimal Pain: Thanks to local anesthesia, no pain is felt during and after the procedure.
Multiple Session Application: The FUE technique allows a large number of grafts to be taken in a single session. This allows for a denser transplantation.
Application to Any Area: The FUE technique can be applied to any area of the scalp. It is also frequently preferred for beard, mustache, and eyebrow transplantation.
In summary, FUE technique offers a minimally invasive, natural-looking, and patient-friendly approach to hair transplantation.
