Why you should choose a FUE hair transplant

The FUE hair transplant procedure is really the best option for most people and it can be used not only for hair on your scalp but also for your eyebrows. The FUE involves the extraction of small patches of skin containing hair follicles. These sections of scalp are called follicular units and the idea behind developing the FUE was to ensure that there was less removal of large pieces of tissue and, in general, a more precise method of transplant than had been done before.

Hair transplant procedures all rely on the fact that there is enough hair available in regions of the scalp where hair is not easily lost, so for instance, at the back of the scalp. The individual follicular units are very carefully removed from this part of the scalp and are then prepared for grafting into the area of the scalp where hair has been lost.

Are there any drawbacks to a FUE hair transplant?

In order for the FUE to be successful, your physician has to be experienced and take great care during removal and grafting of the hair. This is to prevent hair follicles from being accidentally cut during the process. This is one disadvantage of the FUE, since it takes much more time to do when compared with the older FUT procedure. However, this disadvantage is outweighed by the better and more natural-looking hairline and appearance that people get with the FUE.

You also need to consider that the smaller the amount of skin and tissue that is cut out of the scalp the lower your risk of infection will be. This makes sense because there is less bleeding present and less open wounds exposed to the air when you have a FUE done. Of course, there is still a very small risk of infection but so long as you choose a reputable and experienced clinic for your FUE hair transplant, you needn’t worry that this will be a problem.

What steps can you take to improve your chances of a successful FUE hair transplant?

You can make sure to eat healthy and stay in good physical shape if you want to have the FUE done. It is also important to not smoke or drink too much alcohol especially before or after the FUE procedure. This is because smoking and alcohol both reduce your body’s ability to heal successfully.

You can also get advice on how best to prepare for the procedure during your consultation with the specialist at the hair loss clinic you plan to go to. They can evaluate your situation and let you know firstly, if the FUE is a good choice for you, and secondly, how you can prepare for the procedure.

How long will it take to see the results of the FUE?

You do need to understand that results are not immediate as hair has to grow in, and there may be a period of time when some hair is also lost. This loss of hair is perfectly normal and not something you need to be worried about. Generally, for most people, the hair will have grown in anywhere from 6 to 8 months after having had the FUE procedure done.
