Among the methods used for hair transplantation, the FUE method is the most successful and the most popular. FUE, i.e. Follicular Unit Extraction, refers to the method of harvesting hair follicles. In other words, it describes that the hair follicles are extracted one by one.
The FUE method is a procedure in which the scalp is numbed by anesthesia. Then, the hair follicles are taken and transplanted one by one into the fat areas with the help of a micromotor equipped with a special punch. The most important thing to pay attention to during hair transplantation with the FUE method is the placement of the hair follicles, taking into account their direction of growth.
The more accurately this procedure is performed, the more natural the hair will look. In the FUE method, 4000 to 6000 hair strands are taken from the donor area in one session and transplanted to their new place. Since the FUE method does not require any incisions, there is no need for stitches. This method allows the patient to feel more comfortable both during the procedure and during the healing period. It is one of the preferred methods because it does not leave a surgical scar. Operations with the FUE method are performed under local anesthesia.
