FUE HAIR TRANSPLATATION

Hair transplantation with Fue is a painful operation, people who have fear of needles sometimes have fear and shyness in hair transplantation process.

In FUE technique; The hair follicles are removed from the hairy area between the two ears by the two donor sites and between the two ears, and by the cylindrical micro-inserts of 0.7 and 0.8 mm in diameter. The removal of hair follicles is carried out by a device called a manual punch or micro motor. Hair units removed from here are called grafts. One graft contains two or three hair cells.
Hair transplantation with FUE technique is a procedure under local anesthesia. Patients do not feel any pain except for a few needle pain that was shot for local anesthesia before starting to practice. The numbness develops pretty fast. During the application, the patient is conscious, can monitor the procedures or chat with the doctor. According to the frequency of hair follicles in the donor area and the needs of the patient, in a session, 2000-75000 grafts, ie 5000 to 18750 hair follicles can be transferred. If the graft counts are high and hair transplantation is done manually, the session can be divided into two days. According to the patient’s hair thickness and need, how much graft will be needed after the doctor makes a hair analysis on the patient.

What are the advantages of the FUE technique?

• Hair roots; Since it is taken from the region not only between the two ears, but also from the area above the ear, the higher number of hair can be reached. Approximately 5000 to 18750 hair strands can be obtained in one session.
• Since the hair is used in the area where the hair will be taken, using the tips of 0.7 to 0.8 mm, and the scalpel is not used, the healing is faster. Persons who have hair transplantation can actively return to work and social life within 7-10 days.
• Because this procedure is considered to be minimally invasive, no pain or tension sensation occurs after the operation.
• Since this technique is not used when sewing, sewing and sewing is not required. Patients may feel comfortable about themselves.

What are the Stages of FUE Technique?

 Stage 1:
This stage is the preparation for operation. This process takes approximately one hour. Taking pictures of patients, determining the region to be transplanted, shaving of hair less than 1 mm and taking the hair follicles by using local anesthesia.
 Stage 2:
This step involves the removal of hair follicles from the designated donor site. This process takes approximately 3 hours. From the donor area that is drugged, hair follicles are taken at certain intervals without diluting the hair. Using the micro-motor or manual punch, the hair follicles are removed with the help of either 0.7 or 0.8 mm tips. The hair roots are collected and stored in a special solution at a temperature of +4 to +10 C.
 Stage 3:
This stage is the opening section of the channels. It is made using special channel openers which are prepared according to the thickness and depth of the hair follicles by numbing the area to be transplanted. This stage, the opening of channels, hair transplantation is the most important part of the section. If the opening channels are at the appropriate angles and directions, a natural appearance is obtained in the hair transplantation. Otherwise, this naturalness cannot be achieved.
 Stage 4:
This step is the division of the hair follicles into the opened channels and the completion of the procedure. This stage also lasts about 3 hours. From here, it can be understood that hair transplantation with FUE technique lasts approximately 6 to 9 hours. During these stages, the patient can take 10-15 minutes breaks for rest and eating. After the operation is completed, the area where the hair follicles are removed is covered with bandages. This bandage is removed the next day.

After the operation, if there is a slight pain, antibiotics are used against pain and infection risk. Rooted hair follicles become firm in 7 days. In this process, cautious hair washes and crusts were removed. Washing should be done with palms and fingers. Never use fingernails. Newly planted hair follicles show elongation for 2-3 weeks.

Such washings should be repeated every day for 7-10 days. After this time, the hair to soften the scabs, the hair should be kept in the lotion for 1-2 hours. Now, by gently pressing down to make the shells more comfortable, the hair can be washed. Shedding of shells in hair ends in 7-10 days. No more than 15 days. Shedding of shells quickly accelerates healing. Late spilled crusts adversely affect healing.
