FUE, which is the shortening of Follicular Unit Extraction, is a hair transplantation technique. With FUE hair transplantation, hair follicles are collected one by one from your skin. And it is placed in another part of your body. Thus, the newly transplanted hair will appear thicker.

FUE hair transplantation is more popular than FUT hair transplantation because FUE is less likely to cause a “hair plug” appearance. And the essential feature of the FUE method is that it leaves no scar after surgery. FUE hair transplantation is safer than other hair transplant methods with minor side effects such as small white marks where follicles are removed. There may be side effects in every hair transplant, and you may experience temporary swelling and bruise in the FUE method.

Variability in Hair Transplant Costs

It is wrong to give a direct price for hair transplantation. Because hair transplant costs vary according to many factors. Hair transplant costs differ from city to city and country to country. And the costs vary depending on the clinic where hair transplantation will be performed. Hair transplant prices vary according to the demands of the operation because the materials used in operations such as FUE and DHI are different. 

Hair follicles to be transplanted during the procedure directly affect the costs of the operation. If the person has a massive hair loss, the value of the procedure will be higher. While some patients have an operation for a smaller area, some patients may want to have a process on larger sizes. Competition in the hair transplant market reduces hair transplant costs.

FUE Hair Transplant Advantages

The FUE technique is the most advanced hair transplant technique used since 2004. Thanks to FUE, it is an easy and comfortable operation for both the patient and the doctor. The operation is completed in a shorter time than standard hair transplantation techniques, and no incision is made during the operation.

Since there are no stitches, dressing for 2-3 days will be sufficient thanks to the FUE technique. And 3000-3500 grafts can be transferred in a single session. Besides, it does not leave any traces on the skin while performing these procedures. While regular hair transplantation times take between 4-6 hours, the FUE procedure takes only 3-4 hours.

Who can have FUE hair transplantation?

People between 20 and 60 years old can benefit from FUE hair transplant operation. In this operation, gender does not matter; anyone can have it. However, to have this operation, your hair loss must be stopped. If your hair loss continues, you cannot have hair transplantation.

Performing the hair transplant operation in a fully equipped hospital environment is very important for the health of the patient. The patient who is operated in a non-sterilized environment can easily become infected. It takes between 6 and 15 months to get the full results of hair transplantation. In other words, the hair can continue to grow from the first day of the operation to the 15th.

After FUE Hair Transplant

After FUE hair transplant surgery, the hair that grows from the transplanted hair follicles starts to fall out within 1-2 months. This is a situation that occurs in every hair transplant procedure. No need to worry; this is normal. After this shedding, new hair grows permanently within 5-6 months in the transplanted hair follicles. Thanks to the FUE hair transplant technique, approximately 95% of the transplanted hair follicles grow as efficient hair.  Some instructions should be followed after hair transplantation. Your doctor will usually tell you about these instructions, and you should follow these instructions. 

After the hair transplant procedure, washing your hair professionally in the clinic for 3-4 days will be beneficial for your hair follicles. Then, while washing your hair, you should wash it with very delicate movements once in 2 days. Washing the hair every day can damage your hair follicles and kill your hair follicles. You should not wash your hair with detergent-containing shampoos, because detergent-containing shampoos damage and destroy your hair follicles. You can choose shampoos containing natural oils instead of detergent-containing shampoos. In this way, your hair follicles will be nourished, and you can easily have more natural, healthy and thick hair.

You should protect your hair from extreme weather conditions. It would be best if you avoided very hot and very cold environments because extreme conditions can damage your hair follicles. For example, you should protect your hair from direct sunlight during the growth period. You can achieve this with a thin hat. Otherwise, sun rays can damage your hair follicles by means of rays and sweating.
