Fue Treatment

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a type of hair transplant done by taking individual hair follicles from your skin and moving them to another part of your body where hair’s thinner or absent.FUE has become more popular than the follicular unit transplantation (FUT) procedure, which led to the “hair plugs” look.Surgeons use micropunches to extract single follicles and move them, leaving behind almost no signs of extraction.

The FUE procedure is considered safe with minor possible side effects, such as tiny white scars where follicles were extracted. In extremely rare cases, there can be infection or tissue death where the surgery was done.You may experience temporary side effects that go away a few days after treatment. Side effects may include swelling, bruising, and sensitivity.

There are two types of FUE hair transplants: Manual FUE and Robotic FUE. A Manual FUE hair transplant is done by a physician using a handheld device to extract the individual hair follicles. A Robotic FUE procedure uses a robotic hair transplant device that is guided by the physician.

It is a sutureless method of hair restoration in which hair follicles are extracted from the back of head under local anaesthesia with the help of special micropunches and implanted in the bald area. On the day of surgery, the entire donor area from the back of the head is trimmed to 1–2 mm length.

• 1. Reduced Disruption to Donor Area: FUE involves extracting individual follicular units directly from the donor area without the need for a strip of scalp removal. This reduces disruption to the donor site and allows for a more dispersed extraction pattern, preserving the natural appearance of the donor area.

• 2. Minimal Risk of Nerve Damage: The smaller, punctate incisions made during FUE reduce the risk of nerve damage compared to the larger incisions used in traditional strip harvesting (FUT). This can contribute to a lower likelihood of numbness or altered sensation in the donor area.
• 3. No Requirement for Staples or Stitches: FUE does not involve the use of staples or stitches in the donor area, eliminating the need for suture removal. This can simplify the post-operative care process and reduce the potential for complications related to sutures.
• 4. Customizable Hair Density: FUE allows for precise control over the placement and density of transplanted hair. Surgeons can strategically place grafts to achieve a natural-looking distribution and adjust the density based on the patient's desired outcome and aesthetic preferences.
• 5. Less Post-Operative Discomfort: Patients undergoing FUE typically experience less post-operative discomfort compared to FUT. The smaller incisions result in less trauma to the scalp, leading to a quicker and more comfortable recovery period for many individuals.
