FUE Technique (Hair Transplant in Men)
If the cause of your baldness is genetic or other underlying factors, then hair transplantation is the best solution for you! It is safe, natural and permanent. Hair transplant is a minor surgery and there is no need to be worried about side effects such as scarring, as these can be avoided by experienced surgeons.
Hair transplant PROCEDURE involves:
1. Moving hair follicles from the donor area (usually at the back of your head).
2. Transplanting them back to the recipient site (bald or thinning area).
The procedure will take around 7-10 hours depending on the difficulty of each case and depending on the amount of hair transferred which can vary from patient to patient.
Transplantation of hair using the FUE is the newest and most common hair transplant technique! This is the featured technique we use at Caribbean Hair Transplant Center.
What is the FUE
(Follicular unit extraction)
Transplant Technique?
It allows for the extraction of one hair graft at a time, rather than a strip of skin. This is the most modern, efficient, and secure hair transplantation method being used worldwide by top practices.
FUE hair transplant is currently a popular technique due to the minimal scars and recovery time. Hair transplant can be used to solve eyebrow loss, beard/moustache loss, and scalp hair loss and many other areas.
The FUE method has numerous advantages. First of all the FUE method is faster and more efficient than any other hair transplant methods. It is possible to extract hair grafts easily and in return, the extracted hair graft is implanted faster. This increases the graft survival rate of your future hair!
FUE Hair Transplant Method Step by Step
STEP 1: The surgeon outlines the recipient area, calculates the number of grafts required, and shaves the donor area. Before the procedure, the patients will be given pain relievers, antibiotics, and mild sleeping pills. Before and after the hairline is drawn, photos will be taken. The only painful part is injecting local anesthesia into the recipient’s area(s).
STEP 2: The surgeon uses the FUE SYSTEM to perform graft excisions. This method reduces the risk of hair follicle damage. The assistants would then harvest hair grafts and place them in a holding solution to keep the hair grafts’ consistency while they are outside the patient’s body.
STEP 3: Hair grafts will be dissected and studied under a microscope to ensure that the follicles are healthy and intact. For implantation, only healthy grafts will be used. Unhealthy grafts will not be used because new hair will not develop in them and bald patches will result.
STEP 4: On the recipient site, the surgeon inserts safe grafts that have been addressed with the patient. This will be achieved with the aid of the Implanter Pen, a device that helps protect hair grafts from damage during the operation. This would dramatically boost the survival rate of the patient’s hair grafts.
Our process
Process of hair transplantation
Every technique used in hair transplantation share basic principles.
1. Harvesting hair follicles
2. Transplanting hair follicles
Preparation
Before a patient can proceed to surgery
a consultation must be done to endure that all is well with the patient and also to decide on the amount of graft that can be aquired
Hair Transplant Basics
• Individuals aged between 20 and 60 years can undergo a hair transplant surgery.
• The patient who will undergo a hair transplant surgery will only need 3 days for pre-operative preperation and for recovering.
• Although the duration of surgery varies according to the number of grafts that will be transplanted, it usually lasts about 6 to 8 hours.
• In order to respond to possible complications, the operation must be conducted in a fully-equipped hospital.
• A hair transplant procedure is performed with a doctor and at least 3 medical technicians.
• It may take around 6 to 18 months to see the final outcome of hair growth. Starting from the day following the operation, the patient can expect to see hair growth until the 18month.
Harvesting hair follicles
Gradual Sedation: Thanks to recent advances, hair transplant surgery is now considered a painless treatment. During the hair transplant procedure, there is only one period in which the patient experiences pain: the first stage, during which the patient is given local anesthesia.
Extraction: The most advanced and effective approach for hair transplantation is motorized FUE. The hair follicles are removed using a micro motor in this process. Scar formation is almost non-existent via use of this method.
Implantation
DHI is a cutting-edge implantation procedure for hair transplants. Hair grafts are inserted directly into the recipient region using Choi implanter pens. The grafts are loaded into these implanter pens without touching them, avoiding trauma to the grafts and resulting in better outcomes.
The Reasons of preference of Follicular Unit Extraction in FUE technique:
-
A person’s hair can easily be shaved or scraped off after the transplanted hair has grown up.
-
There will be no scarring on the hair transplanted area or the follicle extraction area.
-
If the holes in the hair aren’t too big, the FUE approach should be used.
-
If there are holes on the temporal sides of the brain, this approach is appropriate.
-
It’s been used successfully in beard and moustache transplant operations.
-
It aids in the concealment of scars created by the removal of follicles from the nape of the neck.
-
It’s used on people who don’t have enough donor areas on their napes.
-
The FUE technique allows us to remove hair from all hairy parts of the body, not just the area between the ears.
-
Hair can be taken from the back, beard, and transplanted using the FUE technique.
