Alopecia Restoration Using FUE
Alopecia Restoration Using FUE
The Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method is a minimally invasive method for hair restoration, in which the hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor stable hair area and re-implanted in a uniform manner in the area of baldness.
Through trichoscopy, which permits the examination of the condition of the scalp per square centimeter, doctors at Dermatology & Cosmetics Lab identify the needs of the diluted areas as well as the potential of the donor area. Based on the findings of this scientific review, the processing of which is done via a validated software program, all hair transplant plans are planned step by step. In order to achieve an excellent and above all natural aesthetic effect with hair transplantation, the following points are examined and analysed:

- The prognosis of future hair thinning
How Hair Transplantation Works
The surgical procedure begins with the local anesthesia of the donor area and the extraction of the hair follicles. A cylindrical exporter with a diameter of 1mm enters the skin to the root of hair follicles to allow the hair transplant surgeon to remove the hair without injuring or destroying it. Subsequently, medical assistants control the quality of the grafts by means of a microscope and divide them into single, double, triple and quadruple hair follicles. Moving to the final stages of the procedure, the recptors are opened by the doctor and implants are placed by the medical team.
Once the procedure is completed, a specialised treatment of the donor area is provided to expedite the healing process. Finally, post-operative instructions from the doctor are given, as well as instructions for the appropriate formulations that the patient should use to treat the area.
What Are The Results Of Hair Transplantation?
The effects of hair transplantation using FUE are visible from the first moment. Most hair is kept from scratch, while some may fall in the first two months and gradually re-grow, with the final result being 70-80% in 4-6 months and 95-100% in 12 months. As a rule, new hair growth ends faster in the frontal area of the scalp, and may be delayed by a few months in the peak area. New hair behaves naturally, grows and looks like regular hair. Something very important to note is that new hair is much more resistant than normal, provided that proper maintenance treatment is used.
What Is The Postoperative Picture Of Hair Transplantation?
FUE hair transplantation is a completely safe procedure. It is performed in the clinic, only with local anesthesia. The patient is awake and can talk, listen to music or watch television during the whole process. Any inconvenience to the transplanted area is negligible. Most patients feel a small pull in the donor area for 1-2 days and can get mild analgesics if needed. The area should be kept hydrated in the first 24 hours by spraying normal serum at regular intervals. Some of the new hairs may fall in the first 2-8 weeks, but this should not worry the patient, as the roots remain and produce new hair in the next few months. The new hair is first washed for the first time in the surgery, and the patient can return to work after 3-4 days without realising they have undergone a hair transplant. Finally, it is recommended to avoid intense physical exercise for one week after hair transplantation, as well as the use of the pool.
What Are The Advantages Of Hair Transplantation?
The advantages of FUE hair transplantation are many and important, transforming this method into a pioneer over older methods. Specifically:
- This method is minimally invasive and is performed in the clinic using simple local anesthesia.
- Since the method is not invasive, there is little or no bleeding.
- There are no scars after surgery.
- The recovery time is minimal and the patient returns almost immediately to his / her activities.
- The result is absolutely natural.
- This method can be applied without shaving the head.
- FUE method, which is minimally invasive, has little or no complications or facial swelling.
- It is an ideal method for all ages, for both men and women.
- In FUE hair transplantation method, the donor area may be other areas such as the back, chest or beard.
- FUE transplant method is also ideal for small implants such as eyebrows.
Eyebrow transplantation
FUE hair transplant method is the ideal answer to eyelash alopecia problems, because it does not require hair removal, but each hair is transplanted individually to the affected area.
When Can You Proceed with Eyebrow Transplantation?
FUE transplantaion is the ideal method for all men and women of any age who suffer from congenital eyebrows, want to cover scars from accidents or burns, or have excessive hair thinning due to depilation or age. In earlier times, there was a tendency for eyebrow thinning in women for aesthetic reasons, either by clipping hair or by more permanent techniques such as laser hair removal. Eyebrow implantation using FUE is appropriate for these cases, as it is a minimally invasive method, as opposed to the stripping technique that creates a permanent scar. It is the most suitable method, because it is practically painless and leaves no marks or scars. The growth of new hair begins gradually a few weeks afterwards, while the final result is estimated at about 12 months.
How Is Eyebrow Transplant Performed?
Prior to FUE transplantation, eyebrows are designed lengthways and in width, following the physical distribution and anatomy of the face, and of course according to the patient's preferences. Then, hair follicles are used, which are removed using very small diameter tools (0.7-0.8 mm) so that very fine hair follicles appear to resemble as much as possible to normal eyebrow hair. Due to the particularity of eyebrow transplantation, which is most common in female patients, small bony hair follicles and limited donor area are required. Using the FUE transplant method, it is possible to extract hair follicles without having to shave the donor area. Usually, only a small zone is cut off in the occipital region of the scalp or it can be a completely frugal FUE session. For eyebrow implantation using the FUE method, usually 1-2 sessions are required. In such cases we get the best effect, especially where total recovery and high density are required. FUE eyebrow transplantation is performed using local anesthesia and is a completely safe procedure performed by specialised doctors at Dermatology & Cosmetics Lab.
