Hair Transplant

FUE Hair Transplantation (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a procedure that involves extracting hair follicles from the back of the head and having them transplanted into the frontal part.

What is FUE Hair Transplant?

Technically, the procedure takes place in three stages.

The first step is the extraction of the follicles – also called harvesting-. During this stage, under local anesthesia, we extract the follicles (grafts) from the back part of the head, namely the donor area. (The reason that the extraction is done from this area-the, is that the follicles of the back of the head are not influenced by hormonal disorders or by age. They still exist with a relatively higher density than the rest). The follicles already extracted are stored in a special thermal solution at a well-determined temperature.

The second stage is the most important stage in the entire transplant process. This is the opening of channels. It consists in making small incisions in the scalp. This step is very delicate and aesthetically decisive. That is why it must be done by an experienced and certified surgeon. To have a smooth and natural FUE, each incision should correspond to the angle and depth of the patient’s natural hair growth.

The third and final step is the placement of the plugins in the open channels. At this point the transplant is completed, a bandage will be placed in the donor area and a bung on the forehead to prevent swelling. The patient is obliged to follow the postoperative instructions and can safely return home.

The intervention lasts approximately between 6 and 8 hours. Each stage lasts about 2 to 3 hours.
