What is FUE Hair Transplant?

FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction is a process wherein individual hair grafts are extracted from the donor region of your body and implanted into the recipient area.

The surgeon performing the procedure will use micropunches, allowing them to extract single follicles and then implant them in the area where the hair loss is prominent. Since its micro punches, there is almost no signs of extraction or implantation. Once the hair grows in, there will be literally no sign of a transplant at all, making this the favoured choice for most. This is however, the procedure chosen when the hair loss is on the lower side or a sense of volume needs to be created. Bio FUE is a procedure that has been developed in-house at AK Clinics and involves the injecting of growth serums, right after the transplant has been completed, ensuring better growth.

How FUE hair transplant works?

The methodology of a Bio FUE hair transplant surgery is as follows:

• In most cases, the surgeon will suggest the shaving of the full head to ensure a clear field, but in some cases, only the area around the main donor and recipient areas will be shaved.
• The recipient area will be clearly marked out and the hairline will be drawn using a pen or marker
• With the help of a micro-punch tool, the follicles will be removed one at a time
• With another tool, minute holes will be made where the follicles need to be implanted – in most cases, the removal and implantation is simultaneous, reducing the time that the follicles spend outside the body
• Once the follicles have been placed in the accurate positions, growth serums will be injected and the area will be cleaned and bandaged

You will be given a set of instructions on how to take care of your hair in the days that follow and it is important that you do the same.

What is the difference between FUE and FUT?

While both FUT and FUE can be considered as a permanent hair fall solution, there are some differences between the both.

• In FUT, a strip of hair is removed and the follicles are removed from that strip, whereas in FUE, each follicle is harvested individually.
• In FUT, because a strip is being removed, there will be a linear scar that will remain, but in FUE micro punches ensure that the scarring is almost invisible.
• In FUE, the implantation is most simultaneous, reducing the amount of time the follicles spend outside the body.
• The time for healing and recovery is generally longer with FUT as compared to FUE.
• If the recipient area is really large, then FUT is the preferred method.

Ideal Candidate for FUE Hair Transplant?

Before you can even think about the possible FUE hair transplant side effects, you need to first figure out whether you are a suitable candidate for the transplant or not. These are the factors that will determine your candidacy:

• Your hair loss should have stabilised – this normally happens by around the late 20s or the early 30s
• The type of hair you have will have a role to play –your surgeon should be able to educate you more
• The type of hair loss you have will also have to be taken under consideration

How much does FUE cost?

The cost of a transplant will vary from clinic to clinic and city to city, which is why the FUE hair transplant cost cannot be given as a fixed amount. Here are just some of the factors that will affect the final billing:

• The experience and expertise of the surgeon doing the procedure will have a role to play
• The extent of the donor and recipient areas will help determine the number of grafts that will be required
• The actual number of grafts is what will play the biggest role in the final amount
• Other factors include the actual location of the clinic, the quality of the procedure rooms, the level of training that the support staff etc

Recovery time after FUE Hair Transplant

The recovery time after a FUE hair transplant can vary from person to person, but in most cases, it can take anywhere between three to six weeks for complete recovery.

• You will be able to return home the same day as the procedure
• Within 4-7 days, the initial swelling and itching should subside and most of the scabs should also fall off within this time
• In the first two to three weeks, the newly transplanted hair will fall off and this is completely natural
• In about four months, the new hair should start growing in and the permanent hair should have taken hold
