How does FUE hair transplant work?

If you are considering undergoing a hair loss treatment in London then it becomes essential for you to understand the different methods that can work. There are two popular hair transplant methods known as FUE and FUT. Both differ in the number of hair follicles removed and transplanted at a time.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is one of the most popular ways of hair transplants. It is a kind of surgery where individual hair follicles are extracted from a donor part of the body and implanted into the affected areas. The hair is usually taken from the sides or back of the head. The treatment is preferred for the classic horseshoe area of the men who suffer from male pattern baldness.

What is the procedure?

We have divided the procedure of FUE hair transplant in London 6 small steps.

• Local anesthesia injections are given in the scalp to numb the donor and recipient area of the head.
• Individual hair follicles are removed using a single, round patch.
• The affected is prepared for the transplant with the help of a blade.
• Follicular units are placed into small holes in the affected area.
• Grafts are blended in such a way that they match the natural appearance and colour of the hair.
• You can leave 30 minutes after the treatment is done.

Advantages of FUE hair transplant

The minimally invasive treatment has several benefits. Take a look:

• One can leave shortly after having the treatment. The procedure is performed in a single session that too with strict specific needs.
• The treatment involves using local anesthesia. It facilitates quick recovery and allows you to go home the very same day.
• The treatment is performed very precisely and leaves no scars behind. The minimal incision ensures that the scar remains invisible to human eyes.
• As we said, the treatment includes minimum incision, the grafts and follicles are removed in such a way that the patient does not lose its density of hair. Research says that only that much hair are removed that is necessary to optimize the treatment.
• The donor area is not limited to head only. If someone has less hair on his head, he can ask the surgeon to take hair from his beard or chest.
• The growth of hair never stagnates in FUE hair transplant. That’s why there is no hiding time. The hair will grow constantly and the results will be visible day by day.
• You must have heard that the skin of the scalp loses sensitivity after the transplant which is false. The skin gets back to normal as soon as your wounds heal. However, you might need to take some medication at the time of healing.
• This is a simple treatment and post-treatment care is easy. There are no specific norms as such.
• The biggest advantage of the hair transplant is that you get natural looking hair. No one will be able to judge that your hair are transplanted.
