After the age of 50, 85% of men will noticeably lose their hair, which jumps to over 90% by age 65. Roughly half of all people experiencing hair loss in the United States are women. It’s easy to see why so many people are looking for solutions to their hair-thinning problems when considering those figures.
For every genuine option, there are ten more that do nothing but deplete your bank account and give you false hope. However, only some of the news is good. Recent advances in hair restoration techniques have made it possible for patients to receive care that results in visible and long-lasting improvements.
The FUE method is an excellent option to explore if you want natural-looking hair restoration.
What Is The FUE Method?
Individual hair follicles are surgically extracted and replanted during follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplants. As a result, the newly exposed area will appear to have more hair than before.
The “classic” follicular unit transplantation (FUT) technique has been replaced by follicular unit extraction (FUE). The follicles and all were taken from a healthy skin or scalp area and implanted into the damaged area.
Since FUE lessens the possibility of a “hair plug” appearance, when the transplanted hair or skin doesn’t mix in with the rest of the head, it has exceeded FUT in popularity. In contrast to FUT, this procedure will not leave any visible scars.
FUE hair transplants are best for those who are thinning or balding but have donor hair available. You might only be a candidate for an FUE hair transplant if you have thick enough, healthy hair to transplant to the balding or thinning areas.
How does It work?
FUE moves hair follicles from one area of the patient’s scalp with plenty of hair to a thinning or balding site. As a result, the patient’s hair may develop a new set of roots and resume its usual growth cycle.
Through Follicular Unit Extraction, individual follicular units are surgically extracted from the donor area with a hollow needle called a punch. The devices are surgically implanted into the patient’s scalp after being carefully cleansed and sterilized. Contrary to the damaged units, the follicular hair units harvested with the punch instrument are resistant to the hair-loss-inducing hormone (DHT).
If the follicular unit is in good condition, it can be transplanted to a new area of the scalp to produce hair growth. The term “follicular unit” refers to grouping one to four hairs that are all roughly the same length and thickness (grafts). Hair on a human scalp grows in dense clusters rather than sprouting in a random pattern (follicular units).
The extraction of these units allows hair transplantation to be utilized to reconstruct a person’s natural hairline. Follicular units can be extracted from a scalp strip and transplanted later. The traditional FUT (Follicular Unit Transfer) technique is becoming less used because it commonly produces scarring in the donor area.
FUE Method Is Known For Its Safety And Reliability
Follicular Unit Extraction is part of the hair transplant where the surgeon punches a hole in the scalp with a hollow needle (FUE). The next step is to implant the follicular units into the thinning areas. They are remarkably resistant to hair loss, even in places where DHT is more prominent.
Hair can take six months to a year to grow back ultimately. After a year, even previously bald areas typically have total hair growth thanks to FUE transplants.
For Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplantation, a 0.9 mm punch is commonly employed. Hair follicle size is the determining element. Shaving the patient’s head is a standard preoperative practice that increases the surgeon’s visibility and precision. This will prevent any stray hairs from interfering with the delicate surgical procedure.
The donor sites for hair transplants (the temples, the back of the neck, and the ear canal) are typically harvested with a punch needle. Hair growth is usually the strongest here in balding people.
Neograft Procedure
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is currently state-of-the-art in hair restoration methods. Hair transplant surgery involves the surgical removal and implantation of hair follicles from a donor site on the back of the patient’s head to a recipient site on the scalp.
We’ve settled on using the follicular unit extraction (FUE) method and the NeoGraft Automated Hair Transplantation system. The FUE method extracts hair follicles one by one or in groups of four, simulating the natural pattern of a healthy scalp. After that, they are placed on the balding areas of the scalp.
Follicular unit harvesting and implantation have previously been impossible, but the NeoGraft device was the first to get FDA certification. The FUE procedure is the most cutting-edge innovation in the hair transplant industry, and the NeoGraft technology helps to automate it. This revolutionary method uses pneumatic controls to delicately extract individual hair follicles from the scalp before replacing them in the exact location.
NeoGraft hair transplants enable precision harvesting and insertion, leading to consistent results. Patient comfort is ensured by NeoGraft technology, which can remove each hair follicle without disturbing them. A full head of hair that doesn’t look fake is revealed with this non-invasive method. The revolutionary technology behind NeoGraft allows for more rapid healing from hair loss, scar-free results, and minimal to no downtime for patients.
Long-Lasting
A new hairline has emerged, and the scars from where the transplants were removed have vanished after only ten days. Most patients are pleased with the faster recovery times and softer treatment methods. The newly generated hair from a hair transplant usually lasts for around a month. Don’t worry, though.
The hair will continue to grow since the roots have adjusted to their new environments. Permanent hair growth begins between the second and third month, and by the sixth month, afflicted individuals can expect to have a full head of healthy hair. After a year, you’ll barely notice that you have lost your hair.
FUE is a permanent solution for those who want thick, healthy hair, and it may be conducted in the comfort of their own home by a specialist with experience in the procedure.
