FUE hair Transplant Method Step by Step
What is FUE Hair Transplant in Turkey?
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is one of the most popular hair transplant techniques nowadays. In this technique, each follicle is harvested individually from the donor area on the patient’s head. After that, they are transplanted on the designated area of the scalp via a series of small incisions by a surgeon. Usually the hair units are taken from the back side and sides of the head, as the hair in these areas is the healthiest and fullest, hence ideal for the transplant.
How is FUE Hair Transplant Performed?
In Turkey, FUE hair transplant is carried through a series of small incisions made in the scalp. They are usually only 0.6 mm to maximum 1 mm wide in order to avoid any major scarring of the donor area after the treatment. Microneedles (extraction punches) are used to extract the follicles without affecting or damaging the surrounding hairs. Also it ensures that the extracted hair follicle itself is not damaged during the extraction.
During the implantation process, doctors will make sure that each hair is inserted at an angle which fits the natural growth of the hair on your scalp, ensuring that the volume and density is similar to your existing hair. As the hair will start growing fully, having a natural result is very important.
Different patients require different amounts of grafts to be implanted in order to get the maximum natural results and decent density. For this reason, on patients with large bold areas (corresponding to level 6 or 7 according to the Norwood Scale) more than one session may be required.
All in all, this technique is the most popular hair transplant technique as there is minimal scarring that occurs during the hair transplantation.
