What is FUE Hair Transplant?
FUE hair transplant (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a modern technique in which hair follicles are individually extracted with special micro motors and transplanted to the area of hair loss. Thanks to its minimal scarring structure, the FUE method is one of the most widely used hair transplant techniques today.
How Is FUE Hair Transplant Performed? (Step by Step)
The FUE technique essentially consists of the following stages:
- Local anaesthesia is applied and the donor area is prepared.
- Hair follicles (grafts) are individually extracted with a micro motor.
- Channels are opened at the appropriate angle and density in the transplant area.
- Grafts are placed in accordance with the natural direction.
- First wash and care instructions are provided.
Who Is FUE Hair Transplant Suitable For?
People with sufficient donor hair density, good general health and realistic expectations are good candidates for FUE hair transplant. Suitability must be determined through an initial analysis.
