HAIR TRANSPLANTATION WITH FUE TECHNIQUE

What is hair transplantation with FUE Technique?

Follicular Unit Extraction, is one of the oldest techniques used in hair transplantation operations. The FUE Technique, has a much more advanced strategy than the hair transplantation technique where hair follicles are 1.5 cm thick and 15 cm long cut strips are taken from the donor area.

The day of operation is decided after the patient is examined in detail and it is certain that he / she is a suitable candidate for FUE. On the day of operation, after shortening the patient’s hair, the drawing is performed, the donor area is anesthetized by local anesthesia and the procedure begins. The hair follicles are removed from the donor region, which is usually the neck, by means of a special extraction device. Tissue fragments (grafts) that contain single, double, triple or quadruple follicles are collected carefully. The follicle collection lasts about 3 hours. In the case of grafts kept at room temperature, hair follicle deaths begin to occur within 2.5 hours. For this reason, the grafts are held in Hyposol fluid to prevent hair root deaths. Hair follicles kept in hyposol can survive for up to 6 hours. After the collection of healthy follicles, the process of hair transplantation begins.  The area to be planted is anesthetized by local anesthesia and the canals are opened with a depth of 3 mm where the roots will be planted After separation of the collected follicles from the tissue pieces, they are placed in the previously opened canals. After the transplantation process is completed, donor area is closed with medical dressing and the hair transplantation with FUE process is completed.

Using a FUE technique, graft intake counting between 3000 and 4500 and transplantation can be performed in a single session lasting 6-8 hours. For higher counts of hair follicle planting, two consecutive sessions should be performed. If there is a demand for more than 4500 grafts, this should be reported to your doctor in the preliminary interviews and the plantation process should be planned accordingly. Thus, more than 4500 grafts can be harvested efficiently without experiencing root death. Otherwise, your planting session will be planned in one session and graft collecting will be planned accordingly. In this case, you will need to wait 6 months for more root planting.

During the operation, the patient is under local anesthesia and does not feel any pain. The process is very comfortable for the patient. As no incision is performed, it is not possible to leave any traces in donor or transplantation areas after hair transplantation with FUE technique.

FUE technique is classified as a surgical operation. Hair transplantation procedures using Fue technique last about 6-8 hours.

The first 48 hours for hair follicles transplanted to their new location with hair transplantation operation is a critical process. The reason why the patient is given two day hair washing restriction, and the fact that first wash is done by the experts is tied to the fact that the first two days is a critical stage for the patient. 8-9 days after planting, the roots are mostly become accustomed to their places, but they are likely to be displaced by hard intervention. On the 13th day, the roots begin to fully conform to the surrounding tissue, and at the end of 2.5 months the perfect fit is completed. After the integration phase is completed, the shock spill process begins. In some people, shock spill may occur in the first month, while in some other people it may occur in the third month. The process of this hair fall off, which lasts for about 2 weeks, is the process of shedding the hair strands transplanted with hair roots. After these hair strands are shed, the hair roots begin to produce new and permanent hair. Hair transplantation process starts to reveal its true result after 6-8 months and reaches maximum result after 10 months.
