FUE

What is FUE Hair Transplant?

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive surgical technique for hair restoration. It involves the extraction of individual follicular units (FUs), from the donor area (typically the back and sides of the scalp) and their subsequent implantation into the recipient area (thinning or bald areas). Compared to the older strip harvesting technique (FUT), FUE leaves no linear scar, resulting in a natural look.

The FUE Procedure: A Step-by-Step Journey

Pre-operative Assessment:

The FUE procedure starts with a scalp examination and medical history evaluation. Followed by blood tests and scalp biopsy (optional, only if necessary). We employ a highly advanced hair analysis to determine donor density and recipient area needs

Day of Surgery:

• The procedure starts with trimming the hair short. Followed by local anesthesia being administered to the donor area.
• Using a micro punch (0.6-1.0mm diameter), individual FUs are carefully extracted in a random pattern to minimize donor area thinning.
• Extracted FUs are stored in a chilled preservation solution.
• The recipient area is prepared using microblades to create tiny slit-like channels on the scalp.
• Extracted FUs are precisely implanted into the channels at the desired angle and density.
• The procedure may take up to 6-12 hours depending on the number of grafts required.

Post-operative care:

• The scalp may be tender for a few days
• Scabbing and mild swelling are normal and it subsides within a week.
• After the procedure, antibiotic ointment and gentle scalp washes are prescribed by our expert to promote healing.
• Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress and address any concerns.

Downtime and Recovery:

• Most patients are back to their routine activities within 2-3 days.
• Visible hair growth begins within 3-4 months, with full results becoming evident by 12-18 months.

Cost of the procedure:

The cost of the procedure varies depending upon the scale area to be treated.  To get a better idea about the costing, consult our Turkish hair transplant technician and after careful assessment of your condition, the precise cost will can be determined. Approximately, the cost can start form AED 8000.

The FUE procedure can be further categorized into manual FUE and robotic FUE. Manual FUE relies on the surgeon’s skill and precision, while robotic FUE uses a robotic arm guided by the surgeon for increased accuracy and consistency.
