Are you looking to have thick and luscious hair like celebrities? Wondering how they never go bald? Well, the secret lies in hair transplantation. When hair restoration methods and everything else fails, there is still a treatment option that can help undo years of hair loss and bald patches.
With recent advancements in implant technology, hair transplantation has emerged as a magical treatment to meet your expectations. In this article, we will learn about the advanced FUE hair transplantation treatment that helps in restoring a full head of hair permanently.
What is FUE treatment?
FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction. It is a revolutionary hair restoration procedure that involves the transplant of hair by taking individual hair follicles and implanting them on the bald areas of the head. This will result in the restoration of hair on bald patches and sparse areas making them look thick and fuller. FUE treatment is the successor of the traditional Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) technique. It is an advanced treatment that results in natural-looking hair using minimally invasive techniques.

Benefits of FUE
There are several benefits that led to the popularity of FUE over other hair restoration techniques.
Below are the key benefits –
-
Convenient:
FUE treatment is a convenient option for those who do not have time for elaborate surgical procedures. An average session lasts for about 2 hours and treatment is done over the course of days.
-
Minimally invasive:
FUE is a minimally invasive procedure that does not involve major cuts or surgical incisions. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, and there is no need for stitches.
-
Precise:
The treatment is precisely done using tiny grafts of hair and moving them to a new place without leaving any signs of extraction. The FUE treatment gives a natural-looking hairline with improved density.

The Procedure
The treatment procedure starts with an initial consultation with the dermatologist to analyse hair loss and lay out a concrete plan for the treatment session. It starts by identifying both donor and transplantation areas. Once it is done, we will proceed to the next steps.
-
The Preparation
Both the donor and transplantation areas will be prepared. This will be done by shaving both these areas.
-
The Extraction
In this extraction stage, the dermatologist uses a high-end, automatic device for the extraction of follicles. This is done by making a couple of tiny incisions in the skin using a needle or sharp tool. The punch excision method ensures safe extraction.
-
The Implantation
The last step involves the implantation of these extracted follicles. Using 1mm implanters, the dermatologist will insert the follicles into the incisions carefully. It is done precisely to ensure that there is no damage to the surrounding skin. The dermatologist will clean the area properly and dress it.

Targeted Areas for The Treatment
FUE hair transplant treatments are commonly done on the scalp. But in some cases, they can also be done on areas such as beard, moustache, arms, legs, eyebrows, and more.
Donor Area for FUE treatment
The donor area is the area used to donate hair to the transplantation or the recipient area during the hair transplantation treatment. The most common donor area is typically on the back of your head with abundant hair follicles. It should be noted that taking hair follicles from the donor area does not have any effect on hair growth. Since hair follicles are extracted directly with precision, there is no need for sutures in the donor area. It will heal on its own completely in about 7 days or so.

The Recovery & Safety
The recovery process from FUE is very quick. FUE hair transplant scars on the donor area will normally get healed to normal in 7 days whereas the transplanted area heals in about 15 days.
- The First Few Days: In the first few days, you may feel slight discomfort as your skin is healing. It may feel a little painful as well which can be relieved using OTC painkillers.
- The First Few Weeks: After the first few weeks, you will notice that the donor and transplanted areas are both fully healed. Some may experience itching as well since the tissue is recovering.
- Sleeping Position: During the first few weeks, it is recommended to sleep on the back so that the transplanted area remains untouched. It is also recommended to sleep with your head slightly raised for about 7 to 10 days.
- Hair wash after the procedure: It is advised not to wash your hair and scalp for at least three days after the procedure.
- Shaving after Hair transplant: You can shave the donor area after one week after it gets healed. The transplanted area can be shaved after 1 month.
- Wearing hat: Wear hats only if your dermatologist recommends it. You might be provided a hat to protect your scalp from the sun.
- Physical activity: You can go for brisk walks immediately after hair transplantation. However, it is recommended to restore any strenuous physical activity after 10 to 15 days post-treatment session.
- Sun Exposure: It is recommended to stay away from direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks after the treatment.
