What is Micro FUE Hair Transplantation?
Micro FUE is the relaxation of hair ing roots in the donor area from the scalp with a micromotor with a small tip. With tips with a diameter of 0.6 – 0.9 mm, very small rings are open on the skin and the hair ingestion is separate from the surrounding tissue. The micromotor tips use in the operation are call micro FUE because they can work in the micro field. Although micro FUE is call a technique, it is actually the development of manual FUE and is the FUE Technique, which is widely use in hair transplantation operations today .
With the discovery of the FUE Hair Transplant Method; The use of scalpels and stitches in hair transplantation operations has disappeare , and has led to many new steps. Hair follicles that paves the single taken from the donor area, FUE method of hair transplant surgeon Dr. Kouri herein, Zioga micro-FUE method is further advance by plantation. Zioga has provided FUE with a more functional touch by enabling hair follicles to be extract under a medical microscope with small diameter tips (punch). The most important advantage of the Micro Fue Hair Transplant Method; The very small tips used in graft collection minimizes the intervention in the donor area and minimizes trauma.
Collection of Grafts with Micro FUE
As in FUE, in Micro FUE, grafts are removed under local anesthesia and placed in the channels opened in the balding area after they are separated from the surrounding tissue. The graft extraction process is performed by cutting the ends of 0.6-0.9 mm diameter, called a micro punch, around the hair follicles in the donor area and separating them from the tissue [1]. These tips, which allow the separation of the roots from the tissue, are used manually or by attaching to devices called micromotor, depending on the doctor’s preference.
When removing grafts, single or rarely double ones with smaller tips, grafts with four or more hair follicles are collected, partly with larger punches.
After small incisions are made around the hair follicles, the hair follicles that have become loose are removed one by one with the help of a device called forceps and placed in storage containers containing serum. The root waits in saline serum until the channel is opened in the hairless area, thus preserves its vitality.
Transplantation of Micro FUE Grafts
Hair follicles taken from the donor area with micro tips in micro FUE hair transplantation are placed according to hair density and outlet angles during placement. Therefore, the following order is taken into consideration when placing the hair follicles removed in transplantation operations are keep .
Single or rarely double grafts are place in the anterior regions, mostly on the anterior hairline,
Triple or quadruple grafts are place in the middle of the hair,
Grafts with more than four hair follicles are place in the upper parts of the balding area.
Micro FUE Advantages
Fue hair transplantation in Micro has manage to open the way to many advantages. It has make it easier to obtain a natural appearance in hair transplantation and has also form the basis for more intense transplantation. When considering the advantages provide by the plantation operations, it said that create a big splash in increasing the success factors.
1.Maximum Density
Since the hair follicles extract from the donor area are remove by fine-tipped punches, the hair follicle is less damage and the survival rate increases. After sowing has increase the survival rate for maximum hair density of the hair is obtaine more easily. Therefore, one session may be sufficient to gain the desire density. Therefore, the survival rate of hair clearly affects its growth success.
DHI Hair Transplantation is one of the techniques that allow intensive hair transplantation in narrower areas.
2.Natural Results
The maximum density obtained depending on the survival rate of the hair follicles . It has also provided a natural result in hair transplantation operations. The elongation of each of the hair planted after hair transplantation without loss can be effective in gaining a natural appearance.
3.Minimal Trauma
With micro FUE hair transplantation, since the hair follicles are remove with special punches with a diameter of 0.6-0.9 mm, the trauma in the donor area is almost zero. In other words, since the punches use are micro level, the trauma in the donor area is very minimal. Since large incisions are not make, the risk of infection is significantly reduce with micro FUE.
- Quick Recovery
Since fine-tipped punches cause less trauma in the donor area, recovery is faster with micro FUE. Since the tips suitable for the diameter of the hair follicle are use . The recovery of the donor area is complet in a short time.
After the hair transplantation is perform with the micro FUE technique . The patient can recover quickly within 2 to 3 days and return to work or private life without loss of time.
Small follicular units are remove from the sebaceous gland. It leaves small, pierce marks that cannot show only with the naked eye. Post-operative pain and discomfort are almost nonexistent – the average recovery time is less than 7 days.
What is the difference between FUE and Micro FUE Hair Transplant?
The follicle extraction stage has two main patterns: the Manual FUE and the Micro FUE.
Manuel FUE, which is control the doctor is finish using a motorize punch. The doctor then returns the punch to separate it from the scalp and hair follicles.
For many years, doctors must have high expertise and skills in dealing with the follicles to avoid any action. Since it is time consuming and exhausting for both doctors and patients. Very few clinics still perform this type of hair transplantation. The reason for the growing interest in FUE hair transplantation in Turkey Micro Follicular Unit Transplantation .
What makes the Micro FUE technique different:
