Fue Hair Transplant

HOW DOES THE PROCEDURE WORK?

FUE transplants are relatively unobtrusive and are performed under local anaesthetic, so as to reduce complications or the need for long stays. The process is reasonably simple and quick, and undergoing FUE in the vast majority of cases have no complications for patients, most of whom can return to work the following day.

FUE hair transplants are all carried out under a microscope by experienced professionals to ensure absolute precision and to help create as natural a restored hairline as possible.

FUE is a newer technique and unlike other hair transplant procedures, FUE works on an individual hair basis. Each hair is extracted as a whole unit, complete with the necessary glands and then transplanted to the new area. Although less invasive, the procedure is very intricate and this can lead to an FUE procedure taking slightly longer than the FUT method. By taking more time, the healing period is reduced and the levels of success are greater. Whilst no procedure is scar free, the scarring of FUE is limited to small dots which become invisible after a short amount of hair growth.

Using FUE, we expose the follicles to as little in the way of damage as possible, and this gives each transplanted hair the best chance of survival. Because the follicles have been taken from an area of hair unaffected by DHT – the hormone causing male pattern baldness – the new hairs are unaffected and will not be subject to the same patterns of loss.
