What is FUE Hair Transplantation?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplantation is an advanced technique for hair restoration. It is performed with a variety of modern instruments that help in providing more successful outcomes. It is a minimally invasive procedure in which grafts are removed from the donor area (the genetically stronger areas of the scalp) and transferred into the balding area. This treatment leaves no scars and has a shorter recovery time as compared to FUT.

At Inform Clinics, an experienced surgeon offers the best FUE hair transplant treatment in Hyderabad. The treatment provides natural-looking results, and there is no linear scattering or stitches involved in the treatment.

Procedure FUE Hair Transplantation

Local anesthesia is administered to the patient, so it is a pain-free procedure. First, the donor area is decided, which is usually the back of the head. Then the area is cleaned with a disinfectant, and the donor area is prepared. The surgeon uses a cylindrical tool to make small units around the donor area's follicles to isolate graft. The graft is then extracted from the scalp area. Proper care is taken so that the grafts remain in the appropriate condition, and they are placed under a high-powered stereomicroscope and prepared for the placement. Then a follicular unit graft group is formed, and in each group, about 1-4 grafts are present. A small incision is made on the recipient site. At the final stage of transplantation, the extracted hair follicles are transplanted at an angle of 40 to 45° with precision. This helps to ensure that the accurate placement of the follicles is performed. After the treatment, bandages will be applied to cover the scalp for a few days.

Note

The growth factor treatment is often provided after the hair transplant procedure to enhance the results. This also helps to speed up the healing process on the operation site.

Normally, the transplanted hair will fall, and after a few days, new hair growth will take place.
