FUE Hair Transplant

What is FUE Hair Transplant?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a modern hair transplant technique in which the individual grafts are extracted from the donor area and implanted in the recipient area (usually the Scalp).

The donor area is usually the back of the head, where the hair is denser, and the chances of it falling again are rare. 

Small incisions are made in the recipient area, and the hair follicles extracted from the donor area are implanted in the recipient area to give you an attractive and natural look.

How is an FUE hair transplant done?

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) takes individual hair follicles from the donor area and implants them one by one into the recipient area. The hair transplant procedure makes the recipient area’s hair much thicker and gives you an ideal look.

There are three steps in FUE hair transplant:

Step 1: In the first step, Local anesthesia is given to the patient, and the hair is extracted carefully from the donor area. Our surgeon and staff make sure to extract the hair that is suitable for implantation. After hair extraction, they are stored and processed in the storage medium.

Step 2: In this step, the opening of channels for hair transplantation takes place. This is an important step, and the angles of hair transplantation are decided in this step.

Step 3: The third step is the placement of hair. In this step, the grafts are carefully inserted into the opened channels in the proper direction to achieve the desired results. At Euromed Clinic, we aim to ensure the survival of 90 to 95% of hair grafts.

FUE Post-Op care

Post-op instructions are important to follow for speedy and wound-free healing. If you have ambiguities regarding these guidelines, discuss them with the surgeon so that you are guided accordingly.

• On the evening of your surgery, remove your bandages and take the prescribed medicines. 
• Make sure to keep the recipient area away from the pillow while you are sleeping.
• On days 1-3, wash the back of your head with lukewarm water to clean the clots.
• Soak your head with lukewarm water on the 4th and 5th days for 15 to 20 minutes.  
• On the 6th day, wash your implanted area with baby shampoo. This washing shall be performed regularly until the crust falls from the head.
• Avoid rubbing your head with a towel, not all the crusts need to fall in one day.  

Within the first four weeks of implantation, the implanted hair falls. The implanted hair follicles remain in place, and the hair starts re-growing soon.

After the procedure, do not cover your scalp as it may block the air. Maintain a stress-free lifestyle for at least three weeks, which helps achieve the desired results of an FUE hair transplant.
