FUE Hair Transplant

What is FUE Hair Transplantation?

FUE hair transplantation is the process of implanting a certain amount of non-shedding hair follicles into the area to be transplanted. It originates from the initials of the words (Follicular Unit Extraction).
The most important feature of this method is the process of preparing the area to be transplanted.

In this process, unlike other hair transplantation methods, channels are opened in the scalp with medical blades with micro-tips. In these channels, the hair collected in the next process will be transplanted.

How is FUE Hair Transplantation Performed?

The FUE method in hair transplantation generally includes the following stages;

  • Your hair analysis is done.
  • If there is no problem for transplantation, the hair will be shaved.
  • After shaving, hair transplantation borders and front hairline will be determined.
  • Local anesthesia is applied to the areas where the procedure will be performed.
  • Grafts of hair are collected from the back area of the shaved hair.
  • Afterwards, these graft hair strands are kept in a solution.
  • Afterwards, while the graft hair strands are kept waiting, the specialist opens channels in the area where hair transplantation will be performed with the help of a metal knife or sapphire knife with micro tips.
  • After the channels are opened, the collected hair follicles are transplanted to this area.
  • In the first days after the hair transplantation is completed, hair loss, also called shock hair loss, may be observed (This is a completely normal process).
  • After the shock loss, your hair will start to grow again and take its normal appearance in the following time period.

Who Can Have FUE Hair Transplantation?

As with general transplantation procedures, this operation can only be applied to people who experience hair loss but have sufficient hair follicles.

If you are in doubt about whether you have enough hair follicles, you will be given detailed information during the preliminary interview process with your specialist doctor to determine this number.

Generally, during the preliminary interview process, the doctor will give you all the necessary information such as whether your hair is suitable for transplantation, how long the operation will take, risks and complications, price and cost.
