Our safety is one of the most important issues everywhere. This is also the case with hair transplantation. The question faced by our doctors today is “Is FUE hair transplant method safe?” is the question. That’s why we would like to answer this question. The most common and safest hair transplant method in the world is the FUE method. Whether before or after the operation, you will safely regain your hair with this method.
What is FUE Hair Transplantation?
FUE Technique is the abbreviation of the term “FolicularUniteExtraction”. Follicular Unit is the process where we collect micro hair follicles in our scalp one by one and place them in their new place. We remove the follicular units that we will transplant one by one from the scalp with a special tool. Then we put it in its new place on the same day. This method, in principle, allows the use of body hair. Combination with FUT technique is also possible.
What is the advantage of the FUE technique?
Actually here “Is FUE Hair Transplantation Safe?” We get the answer to the question. The operations are carried out so meticulously and professionally that you will not encounter any problems during the operation and before or after the operation. However, there are still some things you should pay attention to in terms of your health.
The biggest advantage of the method is that the places of the roots we take one by one are not clear after recovery, that is, the intervention does not leave a trace. In the FUE technique, the places where we take the roots complete their recovery within 24 to 48 hours. Since it does not leave any traces, it is possible to use the hair transplanted with this technique by keeping it very short.
Am I a suitable candidate?
As in all other hair surgery intervention techniques, we investigate with a detailed analysis whether the guest who comes to our clinic is suitable for hair transplantation in the FUE technique. First of all, we need to examine non-genetic factors that cause hair loss with a blood test. If the tests show that there is no systemic problem, we will examine the donor area. As a result of the examination, if it is determined that the type of hair loss is suitable for transplantation and that the candidate has sufficient roots, we give an intervention appointment to our guest in accordance with the time schedule of our doctor.
How do I make my entry?
In the morning of the procedure, we shave this area in order to make it easier for us to collect roots from the donor area. After the shaving is completed, our specialist doctor applies local anesthesia. Thus, you will not feel any pain during the procedure. In the first stage, we collect the roots, after opening very thin channels in the hairy area, we place the permanent roots in these channels.
When is the healing process?
After the operation, it is possible to see crusting in the area where we planted. The first two days are the healing process of the area where we do hair transplantation and hair. In this process, there is no need to do anything other than the recommended ones. On the third day, you can do the hair care and washing as described.
On the 10th day, the scabs in the area begin to fall as a result of washing the areas where we have hair transplantation and epilation. After fifteen days, the healing process of both areas will be completed and there will be no scar. After three weeks, 60 -70% of the transplanted hair will be shed. At the end of eight to twelve weeks, the hair that has been transplanted starts to grow again and this process continues for another year.
When will I see the result?
Most of the transplanted hair will fall out within two to six weeks after hair transplantation. However, your hair follicles will remain under the skin. About ten weeks after the transplant, your new hair starts to grow from the existing hair follicles.
Eight to twelve months after hair transplantation is the best time to evaluate the result of hair transplantation. From the first time the hair starts to grow, it gradually becomes thicker and approaches the thickness of the hair on the neck.
The hair we transplant does not require special care. You can easily perform applications such as lining, washing, shaping and painting. At the same time, the hair we transplant will live with you for a lifetime because we code it not to shed.
Unshaved FUE
There is only one difference in this method, where we follow the same steps as the standard FUE technique. The process of transplanting hair follicles without shaving the hair. The unshaved FUE method is also very safe. This alternative way is at the initiative of every guest that we find suitable as a result of the examination. We would like you to consider that the unshaved FUE procedure will take longer than the short hair procedure. In addition, there is a 10% risk of loss during the purchase of long hair. As a result of the detailed examination performed by our specialist doctors, we determine whether you are suitable for both hair transplantation and unshaved FUE technique and inform you about a possible loss.
What Should You Pay Attention To In The Late Period After FUE Hair Transplantation?
Hair strands in the area where we transplant are 3-4. It will begin to shed in weeks. This situation is not a cause for concern, it is a natural process. The purpose of this process is not to transplant hair but to transplant hair follicles. The hair strands you see are just a tool to carry the roots. therefore, their losses are not a problem.
Transplanted hair usually begins to appear around 3.5-4 months and grows by 70% by the 7th month and by 90% by the 9th month.
During this waiting period, it is important that you do not use cosmetics, chemicals that can burn the roots, and pay attention to your general health.
