FUE Hair Transplantation

Loss of hair is a natural process when it is between the limits that the body can restore them. When the capacity of the body to restore the hair loss is beaten by the excessive hair loss then we can name this situation something that should be treated.

We have both vulnerable and resistant hair follicles against balding in our scalp. We transfer these resistant hair follicles to the bald areas in order to have a fuller hair.

There are 3 significant points for the hair transplantation:

• Number

• Density

• Angle

Number of the grafts is especially important because you can get a better result with more grafts. However it is really important to be careful during obtaining the hair follicles. In case of using an improper technique and wrong equipment; the donor area can easily be damaged.

The density is another important step in hair transplantation since the denser you transplant; the fuller look you will get. However transplanting the hair follicles too denser can result in disturbance in the circulation yielding unsuccessful success rate in the hair transplantation.

The angle of the hair follicles is different in every part of the scalp. In order to achieve a natural result it is really important to place the hair follicles in a proper angle. Since these angles are different in every patient it is really important to have the hair transplantation in the hands of a well experienced surgeon.

FUE is a surgical technique that moves individual hair follicles from a part of the body called “donor site” to bald or balding part of the body known as the “recipient site”. Grafts containing hair follicles that are obtained from genetically resistant to balding area transplanted to the bald scalp by latest minimally invasive technique Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). It can also be used to restore eyelashes, eyebrows, beard hair, chest hair, pubic hair and to fill in scars caused by accidents or surgery such as face lifts and previous hair transplants.
