Hair transplanting is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in recent years. With time and technology, new methods and ways are being performed in the hair transplanting industry. Some of them are old and some of them are new methods. People are choosing one of these methods depending on price, cost, or pain. There are several methods but one of them is being used mostly nowadays. Most of the experts say it is the easiest and comfortable method. Which is called an FUE hair transplant.

In the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method, hair follicles are taken one by one with special tipped micromotors under local anesthesia and placed in balding areas, taking into account the natural hair growth angle and direction.FUE hair transplant method is a widely used hair transplant method in the world. During this method, no incision is made on the scalp and no piercing is applied on the skin.

Fue is the abbreviation for Follicular Unit Extraction. This method was first performed in Japan in 1988 with 1 mm punches. The method took place in the medical literature in 2002.

In the Fue method; The hair follicles are taken one by one from the area chosen as the donor area, that is, separated from the skin and implanted in the desired area. The hair follicles taken from the donor area are transplanted into the desired area not collectively, but one by one in the same way. For this reason, the implantation of the hair follicles causes this method to be performed with longer sessions compared to other methods. Today, this method is done with micromotors rather than needles.

SO, WHAT ARE FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT TECHNIQUES?

Fue hair transplant method has its own different techniques. They are Micro FUE Hair Transplant Technique, Saffir FUE Hair Transplantation, and Soft FUE Hair Transplant.

In Micro FUE Hair Transplant Technique: It is an improved version of the manual FUE technique. In the micro hair transplantation technique, it is the process of removing hair follicles via equipment with micro tips. Micromotors are used in this technique with tiny tips. The inserts are based on the principle of punching holes in the range of 0.6 – 0.9 mm. Micro circles are opened in the scalp, and the tissue structures around the hair follicle and hair follicle are separated and removed.

Saffir FUE Hair Transplantation: Just like the Micro FUE technique, Saffir FUE and Micro FUE are actually not techniques. They are only sub-innovations of the FUE technique. The only difference between Saffir FUE is that the tips used are made of Sapphire, not metal. It is effective in opening microchambers on the scalp and is ideal for less crusting rates. It also contributes to the acceleration of recovery phases. Sapphire-tipped microneedles are much healthier than other needle structures.

Soft FUE Hair Transplant: SOFT fue means; Supporting the hair transplant operation with drugs focused on sedation, it turns out that the patient is relieved but does not have an effect on his consciousness. In summary, there is no loss of consciousness with this technique, but you can have hair transplantation without feeling any pain. Sedation-effective drugs are not of a type that will prevent actions such as going to the toilet and talking.

How long does the FUE Hair Transplant take?

The process of FUE hair transplantation varies according to the size of the desired area. How long the hair follicle and hair tissue is required for the transplantation area is important in terms of the processing time. If the hair follicle and hair tissue, called grafts, need to be taken up to 4000-4500 during hair transplantation, this process can take nearly 6-7 hours. Depending on the number of grafts, there may be cases where the hair transplantation process takes 9 hours. Short breaks can be given during the procedure depending on the condition of the session. It may take 2-4 hours to get the grafts during the Fue technique. There is a short break after graft removal.

What are the benefits of the FUE hair transplant method?

The benefits of the FUE hair transplant method are enormous. If we need to express the benefits of this method one by one;

After the procedure, the recovery time is very short and the pain is very low, almost none. 

After the 6th month, the hair starts to look good visually, Mirrors will be your friend in a short time.

After the procedure, the hair will have a completely natural appearance and a healthy structure after 1 or 1.5 years,

FUE hair transplant is the most demanded way by patients

First of all, hair transplantation should not be considered a simple procedure. Every instruction given by the expert must be followed. Otherwise, the transaction may be wasted.

Shower, pool, and sea should be paused for a few days. Since the skin is sensitive, it should be protected from sunlight. During the crusting period, the skin should not be touched in terms of infection.

Using the FUE hair transplant method, treatment results in an average of 1 to 1.5 years. The most positive aspect of this treatment is that there are no cuts or stitches in the area where the hair was taken. There is very little pain after this surgery and the recovery period is very quick. Scratches may be encountered only in the area where the hair follicles to be transplanted are taken, but these also heal very quickly.

While this method offers a high level of comfort to the patient, it is also successful in making the hair look quite natural. In FUE hair transplantation, using high-tech micro-motors, hair follicles called grafts are collected from the donor area, i.e. the hairy area, one by one.
