Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a hair transplant method in which hair follicles are individually extracted from the donor area (usually the back of the head) and implanted in the recipient area (usually the front or top of the head). The FUE method differs from the traditional strip method (FUT) in that it involves extracting hairs one by one rather than removing a strip of tissue from the scalp. This results in less scarring and faster healing. The goal of FUE hair transplantation is to restore hair growth in bald or thinning areas of the scalp.
In FUE hair transplantation, micro-surgical techniques are used to perform the procedure without cutting or stitching. The following steps are followed:
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is given to numb the scalp before the procedure.
Harvesting of hair follicles: Hair follicles are individually extracted from the donor area using a small punch tool.
Preparation of the implantation area: Small incisions are made in the bald or thinning area to prepare it for the implantation of hair follicles.
Implantation of hair follicles: The harvested hair follicles are implanted in the recipient area.
Healing and follow-up: Transplanted hair starts to grow in 2-3 months, and full results are usually seen within 9-12 months.

After the hair transplant procedure, the first dressing and first hair wash are performed at the clinic where the procedure was done. The patient is also given instructions on how to wash their hair. It is crucial for patients to wash their hair with the special care products provided for the first week after the procedure. The scabs fall off after 7 to 10 days, and shock hair loss occurs between 2 and 6 weeks. Hair growth starts to occur at 3 months, with 25% growth initially, followed by 50% growth, and full results seen at 12-18 months.
FUE hair transplant prices can vary depending on factors such as the number of grafts, the experience of the surgeon, the pricing policy of the clinic, and the type of procedure. To get a personalized price quote and determine the best method for your specific needs, you can consult with a hair transplant specialist.
