WHAT IS FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT AND HOW IS IT APPLIED?

In the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method, hair follicles are taken one by one with special-tipped micro motors under local anesthesia and placed in bald areas, taking into account the natural hair growth angle and direction.

Today, the majority of hair transplant operations are performed with the FUE method. Since it does not require general anesthesia, patients decide more easily and prefer this technique.

WHAT ARE THE BASIC STAGES OF HAIR TRANSPLANT?

There are basic principles in all hair transplant operations.

1. Collection of hair follicles,

            FUT: Collecting hair with skin section
            FUE: Removal of hair one by one

2. Opening of channels,

3. Planting the roots in the opened canals.

1 - Collecting Hair Roots with FUE

Before starting hair transplantation, pre-interview with the patients, examination and planning are made and both the acquisition and transplantation points are marked on the scalp. Afterwards, the hair is shaved to 1 mm and the area is sterilized and local anesthesia is given to the area. The hair follicles in the nape area are loosened using a special device (micromotor). The higher the patient's hair graft quality, the greater the success of the procedure. The collection of hair follicles in the FUE technique is usually completed in 2 to 4 hours, although it varies from person to person, depending on the number of grafts. While the hair follicles are being collected, the grafts taken from one side are separated according to the hair sweat they contain (1 by 2 or 3 each), and they are kept in a special solution at +4 degrees by arranging them as 100.

2 - Opening Sowing Channels with FUE

After the hair follicles are collected, the area is covered with a special bandage to prevent infection. Then, the patient lies on his back and the area where the transplantation will be performed is again serialized and after local anesthesia is applied, the channels are opened using a special device called micro-pen (as much as the number of grafts taken). These channels are designed to be smaller than the needle tip and in the right angle and direction. The tip of the micro-pen device is pointed and is used to open extremely small channels in the diameter that the hair follicles can pass through.

3 - Transplantation of Hair Roots with FUE

Hair follicles (GRAFTS) are placed one by one into the channels opened to the application area. After the hair follicles are collected, they must be transplanted within a certain period of time. Transplantation of hair follicles is completed in 2 to 4 hours, although it varies from person to person, as in the collection of follicles. After sowing, the transplanted area is not covered with a bandage.

WHAT SHOULD BE ATTENTION TO AFTER HAIR TRANSPLANT/ TRANSPLANT WITH FUE?

After these three procedures are completed, the patient is discharged by giving various information and products and medicines to be used at home. 48 hours after the procedure, the first dressing and washing of the patient is performed under clinical conditions and the patient is given home washing training. For 1 week, patients are recommended to wash with special products in the morning and evening as desired. At the end of 7-10 days, all the crusts in the planting area fall off.

After shock loss between 2-6 weeks, 25% of the hair transplanted in the 3rd month, 50% in 6 months and all of them at the end of 12-18 months.

WHAT ARE THE GENERAL FEATURES OF HAIR TRANSPLANTATION WITH FUE?

Without removing all the tissue in the area where the grafts are taken, only the relevant hair root cell and the microscopic tissue surrounding it are studied one-to-one.
No incisions or stitches are made in the area where the hair is taken.
In the area where the roots are taken, small abrasions of 06-08 mm occur and heal in a few days without leaving a trace.
With this technique, the grafts taken from the nape area can be used in hair transfer as well as in eyebrow, mustache and beard transfer.
Depending on the condition of the average donor area and the number of roots to be transplanted, 2,000 to 6,000 grafts can be taken in one session.
There are 1 to 3 hairs in each graft. 1 graft hair is accepted as an average of 2 - 2.5 hairs.
Depending on the number of roots obtained and the spacing, planting 45 – 60 hair follicles per square centimeter is sufficient to achieve a natural appearance.
