FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant is a surgical procedure used to treat hair loss. It involves removing individual hair follicles from the back or sides of the scalp and transplanting them to areas of the scalp where hair is thinning or balding.
HOW IS FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT PERFORMED?
FUE hair transplant is performed using a small, handheld device that extracts individual hair follicles from the donor area of the scalp. The extracted follicles are then transplanted into the recipient area using a specialized tool.
IS FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT PAINFUL?
FUE hair transplant is typically performed under local anesthesia, so patients should not feel any pain during the procedure. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or soreness after the procedure, but this can usually be managed with pain medication.
HOW LONG DOES FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT TAKE?
The length of the FUE hair transplant procedure can vary depending on the extent of hair loss and the number of follicles being transplanted. In general, the procedure can take anywhere from several hours to a full day.
WHAT IS THE RECOVERY TIME FOR FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT?
Most patients are able to resume normal activities within a few days after FUE hair transplant. However, it is important to avoid strenuous activity, sun exposure, and swimming for several weeks after the procedure to allow the scalp to heal.
IS FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT PERMANENT?
Yes, FUE hair transplant is a permanent solution for hair loss. The transplanted hair follicles are taken from areas of the scalp that are genetically resistant to hair loss, so they will continue to grow even after they are transplanted.
WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS OF FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT?
The most common side effects of FUE hair transplant include swelling, redness, and minor scabbing at the donor and recipient sites. Some patients may also experience mild pain, itching, or numbness in the scalp.
IS FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE?
FUE hair transplant is generally suitable for most people who are experiencing hair loss. However, it is important to have a consultation with a qualified hair transplant surgeon to determine whether FUE hair transplant is the best treatment option for your specific needs and goals.
