Hair loss is a natural process from which both men and women suffer. Although it is not something big, it may turn to become a serious problem if the hair loss becomes excessive. Today, a lot of people suffer from hair loss. Many factors may lead to hair loss. It can be the result of an excessive amount of stress, disease, or menopause. It is also associated with predetermined genetic factors and hormonal changes. But whatever the reason, the truth is people suffering from hair loss are not happy with their look. For a long time, people have been trying to find solutions to this problem. In spite of these efforts, most of them are not permanent such as herbal remedies and medications. As a result, people seek more hopeful methods. One of the most effective ways of treating hair loss is an FUE hair transplant.
What Is an FUE Hair Transplant and How The Procedure Works?
There are two methods of hair transplant: FUT and FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). FUE transplants are more preferred by patients since it is a more reliable technique than FUT. Besides this, FUE offers much more advantages when compared to FUT technique.
In FUE. before starting hair transplant surgery, the back of your head needs to be shaved. After that, the process simply involves taking hair follicles one by one from your donor area. Then the specialist moves them to other parts of your body where the hair is thinner. But how this happens actually?
Before the procedure, the specialist gives you a local anesthetize so that you will not feel pain. With a tiny microneedle, the doctor opens a tiny hole. This hole is less than 1 mm, and helps your doctor collect hair follicles from your donor area. Then, using equipment similar to a tweezer the doctor extracts the hair follicles. Later, he implants them to the thinning or bald area of your body. After the FUE transplant, your doctor gives you disinfection and wraps your scalp with a bandana.
Why FUE Hair Transplants Are Advantageous?
FUE hair transplant is one of the most advanced and popular hair translation technique that gives you successful results. Anyone experiencing excessive hair loss can choose this method. One you have undergone FUE hair transplant, you will have natural look. Other than that, there are multiple factors that make FUE hair transplants advantageous.
Local Anesthesia Application in FUE Hair Transplant
Your operation takes place under local anesthesia which means you do not feel any pain during the hair transplant operation. Even if the effect of local anesthesia is gone after the operation, you still won’t feel any discomfort.
FUE Hair Transplant Makes You Feel Confident
Losing hair is difficult regardless of your age. Also it is certain that it has a negative impact on your physical appearance. Hair loss can destroy your confidence, but it is your choice to allow or not to allow this. To reduce the negativity that hair loss causes, you may want to use temporary solutions such as hats and wigs. But there is no need to say that these are not permanent. Unlike these solutions with hair transplantation, you can change to your old style whenever you want. Besides you can create the style you want.
Scars Are Not Visible in FUE Hair Transplant
Unlike with FUT, FUE does not contain stitches or linear scarring. These scars are more likely to be obvious and difficult to conceal. Some degree of scarring may be inevitable. However, the prominence and appearance of those scars can differ significantly.
FUE patients can expect diffuse, circular scars throughout the donor area. However, they are too small and practically undetectable with short hair or even a shaved head. This means, after the recovery time you can wear your hair short if you want.
This is because the follicle units are extracted with punch blades that are less than 1mm in diameter. They are removed from the donor area in a more natural pattern (and not a long, unnatural line, as with strip harvesting methods).
As a result, the potential for noticeable scarring is dramatically reduced and results are extremely natural-looking. This can be an especially notable advantage for patients who wish to wear their hair short.
FUE Hair Transplant Aftercare Is Easy
A good aftercare process is so important for a good result. The aftercare of a hair transplant operation is very important and also simple. The hair surgeon should give you appropriate medication and other recovery products. Furthermore, the clinic should explain how you should take care of the transplant and donor area in detail.
In FUT hair transplant recovery time extends to one or two weeks. While in FUE hair transplant it is way much faster than that. It usually takes two or four days.
FUE Hair Transplant Offers A Natural Look
The most important factor to choose the FUE hair transplant method is that it makes your physical appearance better. Also it stops your progressive balding process. Since the grafts are taken from your own body, they continue to grow naturally throughout your lifetime. This allows you to cut or style your hair however you want. After the procedure, your hair reaches a natural appearance after 10 – 12 months. And it is impossible to say that you had a hair transplant. To make sure that, you should definitely get your hair transplant with experienced surgeons. Those who don’t know you will not even notice the transplantation. Therefore, you can achieve the natural look you’ve always wanted with this procedure and finally welcome a better life.
