How FUE Hair Transplant Process Works?
FUE Hair Transplant is a simple process
that involves extracting hair follicles
individually from donor area. Are you seeking
a scarless hair transplant
technique? Practically speaking there is no
such term as scarless hair transplantation.
FUE Hair Transplant is considered as a
minimally invasive technique but even it is
not a scarless procedure. You will end up
with tiny, pinhole scars at the donor area, but
they are barely visible from distance.

In FUE or follicular unit extraction a
specially designed punch tool is used to
make a tiny, circular hole at the donor
site to free the hair follicle from surrounding
scalp tissue. This punched follicle is then
carefully extracted from the scalp and stored in
an artificial storage medium like a saline
solution.
The surgeon keeps repeating this punching
procedure until enough number of hair follicles
has been extracted. This may take 2 to 3 hours.

Once enough follicles have been extracted,
the surgeon moves on to plantation phase.
The recipient site is first prepared by
carefully crafting tiny incisions at
specific angles. The angle of incision determines
the direction of transplanted hair so this must
be done very carefully. The surgeon then
carefully inserts the prepared follicles into
these incisions to complete the FUE
hair transplant surgery. FUE hair
transplant is a slow and lengthy
procedure that takes several hours for its
completion. In case of severe baldness, it
may take several sessions spanned over
several days to achieve the fuller and
thicker look.

Recovery from FUE Hair Transplant Recovery
process after FUE hair transplantation is simple
and quick given you follow the
post-procedural instructions of your
surgeon. Immediately after the surgery
your scalp will be sore and tender. Using
cold compressions may help relieve the symptoms.
However, be gentle to the scalp when applying
cold compressions. Avoid washing your scalp
for 24 to 36 hours after the surgery. You
will be able to resume routine,
non- strenuous activities after 2 to 3
days. It will take 6 to 8
5
months before you will start
noticing growth of transplanted hair. Full
hair growth may take more than a year.
Automation in FUE Treatment Hair transplant
surgeons in Dubai are using automation which
is a newer trend in hair transplant.
Motorized punching has successfully replaced
manual punching as more surgeons are
using a small instrument for
6
extracting hair follicles instead of
doing the task manually. This advanced
donor hair extraction technique is referred to as
Stem Cell FUE or Direct Automated FUE.
Previously, the rate of damaged hair
grafts used to increase in large hair
transplant sessions. But Stem Cell FUE has
made this minimally invasive hair transplant
technique more efficient. Now using motorized
punching allows the surgeons to extract more hair
grafts safely and in a lesser time.
Automation has also made the extraction
phase easier on the surgeons part. Now, the
surgeon does not exert manual force to
separate hair follicles and taking them out.

Who is an ideal candidate for FUE hair
transplant? FUE is appropriate for
individuals who want to have a short
hairstyle after hair transplantation.
Contrary to traditional FUT procedure, FUE
does not leave a linear scar and so the
individual does not need to wear long hair
to cover the scar. Also, it is a useful
method for those who want to resume their
routine activities soon after the surgery. Some
individuals desire FUE simply because they are
not suitable candidates for FUT due to
their tight scalp. In such patients taking
out hair follicles directly from the scalp
is the only possible method for hair
transplant. People who have healed poorly
from a previous hair transplant can also
benefit from FUE hair transplant. Some hair loss
patients choose FUE simply because they heard
that it is minimally invasive and
non-surgical. In fact, FUE is minimally invasive
but it is not non-surgical. FUE is definitely
a surgical method. The depth of the
incisions in FUE is the same as it is in FUT, the
difference
8
is only that in FUE these incisions are of
pinhole size and the incision sites are scattered
over a large area. FUE hair transplant is
a very effective and popular method that
is practiced by the best hair restoration
surgeons around the world. The Hair Transplant
