What is the FUE Technique?

Eyebrow, hair and beard transplantation is performed with the FUE Technique, also known as Follicular Unit Extraction. Today, FUE Technique is the most commonly used method. Since the FUE technique is not a surgical operation, it is preferred more by the patients. FUE Technique has many features. These features can be listed as follows:

  • In the area where the grafts will be extracted, only the follicle is extracted one by one without removing any tissue or damaging the tissues.
  • There is no incision or suturing in the grafted area for hair, beard or eyebrows. In the area where the follicles are extracted, contusions with a diameter of much smaller than 06-07 mm may occur, but these contusions recover in a few days. They heal quickly without leaving a scar.
  • Grafts taken from the nape area with this technique are not only used in hair transplantation. They can also be easily used in eyebrow, mustache and beard transplantation processes.
  • On average, the condition of the donor area and the number of grafts to be transplanted are checked in one session. Depending on this, between 4,000 and 6,000 grafts can be extracted.
  • In addition, each graft has an average of 1-3 hairs.
  • It is possible to transplant 50 – 60 hair, beard or eyebrow follicles per square centimeter depending on the number of grafts to be obtained during the procedure and the opening in the area.
  • In addition, the fact that the pain is very low following the transplantation and the recovery process is quite fast are some of the reasons for preference of this technique.
  • In the hair transplantation process, the amount of hair available and the way the follicles are extracted are very important. However, the direction of the transplanted hair and the naturalness of the hairline in the forehead are also important for the process.

How is the Fue Technique Applied?

FUE Technique is transplantation of grafts extracted from the donor area one by one to the eyebrow or mustache / beard area. If you want to have hair transplantation with the FUE technique, the hair in the desired area is shaved so that it becomes 1 mm. Local anesthesia is applied. In other words, only the transplantation area is anaesthetized. In general, the FUE Technique consists of three stages;

Collecting Hair Follicles: The hairs that need to be shaved cylindrically are pulled slowly from the scalp with the micro motor without damaging the grafts. Thanks to this automatic system, both the possibility of damage to the grafts and the operation process are reduced. Thus, getting the hair, beard or eyebrows of your dreams accelerates.

Opening of Channels: In this process, which can be called the most important stage of hair transplantation, channels are opened where the follicles are extracted from the donor area will be transplanted. Although there are many different products, we manage this process with Sapphire Tipped products that are compatible with the human body.

Transplanting Donor Grafts: It is the stage where the grafts harvested from the donor area are transplanted in the opened channels at an appropriate angle

When Does the Hair Grow and Get the Desired Appearance? The hair transplanted with the FUE Technique begins to shed 12 days after the operation. 2-3 months after the Hair Transplant, the hair starts to grow healthily. At the end of the 6th month, the hair grows visibly and becomes thicker. However, it takes its most natural and perfect shape after 1 or 1.5 years since the adaptation process is just completed then. In addition, since the transplanted hair follicles are transferred from the areas with a non-shedding code, they do not fall out.
