Hair loss can be extremely difficult for both men and women to manage. It can affect one’s self-confidence, especially when hair loss is experienced at a young age. Fortunately, there are precise hair transplant techniques such as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) that offer highly effective solution for people dealing with hair loss. In addition, within FUE hair transplants there are various techniques and methods. 

Follicular Unit Extraction

There are several hair restoration and hair replacement solutions that have been available for some time. Although recovery can be painful and slow, the strip method or follicular unit transplantation (FUT) has been used for many years, and in some cases it is still used. In addition to visible scars from the transplantation incision, FUT has a higher risk of infection. FUE provides a less invasive and highly effective solution for hair transplantation for many patients. As hair transplant techniques have improved, so has patient experience.

How FUE Hair Transplant Technology Works

FUE’s highly popular technique is performed by using a small round punch to extract follicular hair units one at a time. The hair is taken from an area of the head that is resistant to baldness, usually the back and sides of the scalp. The extremely small wound left by the hair follicle extraction heals within a few days and is usually undetectable, even in areas where the hair has been cut shorter in order to perform the extraction. The extracted hairs are grouped in follicular unit grafts and then transplanted into the area experiencing hair loss. The hairs are placed into recipient sites, balding or thinning hair areas of the scalp, using expert precision. It is important to choose a highly skilled physician in order to ensure a successful hair transplant.
