FUE ( Follicular Unit Extraction) Hair Transplant



FUE Hair Transplant stands for follicular unit extraction. It’s an advanced type of hair restoration surgery, in which the individual follicular units are extracted one by one from the donor area (back of head, beard etc) and are transplanted to the recipient region (frontal bald region).

Technique

In FUE, individual follicular units are removed one by one under local anesthesia with the help of tiny punches of 0.6mm to 1.25mm diameter. Each follicle is then implanted individually on the frontal bald scalp. This technique is less invasive so, leaves no linear scar, any post operative pain is minimized and the healing and recovery period is minimum.

FUE; Advantages over FUT

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) is also known as “Strip Harvesting” hair transplant method is the older technique in which a strip of scalp is removed by the surgeon and this strip is dissected into individual follicular units by the surgical technician and then implanted on the bald region, while the wound is sutured back together.
The major drawback of FUT is that it leaves a long linear scar on the back and sides of head. The recovery period is 2 weeks and requires the stitches to be removed by medical personnel.

FUE on the other hand has a lot of advantages over FUT:

·         It does not leave a linear scar at the back of head, instead only small punctate scars remain which are not visible even on close inspection.
·         The patient can keep their hairs short.
·         Body hair harvesting has been made possible with FUE
·         Minimal post operative pain.
·         Fast recovery within a week.
·         Helpful in individuals with tense scalp.
·         The important work of separating the hair follicular unit is not left to technicians rather the hair transplant doctors extract follicular units themselves so the chances of graft damage while handling is minimized leading to high graft survival rate.
·         Moreover, the FUE grafts spend much less time outside the body which ensures maximum survival.



All these advantages of FUE have made it a very popular and more preferred hair transplant technique of these days.
