Hair loss affects confidence, appearance and self image. Fortunately, modern hair restoration techniques provide effective solutions for people suffering from thinning hair, receding hairline and baldness. The most popular and performed treatments worldwide is FUE Hair Transplant. FUE is an advanced hair transplant technique that involves harvesting individual hair follicles from a donor area and implanting them into areas affected by hair loss. As opposed to traditional strip harvesting methods, it does not leave a linear scar and allows patients to enjoy faster recovery with natural looking results. Regardless of whether male pattern baldness, female hair thinners, crown baldness or hair loss caused by trauma, FUE Hair Transplant in Dubai provides long term solution for restoring hair density and rebuilding your confidence
What Is FUE Hair Transplant?
FUE hair transplant is a relatively simple hair restoration solution that restores healthy hair follicles from one site on the head to another.
At the time of surgery, the follicular units are removed from the donor site, usually from the back and sides of the scalp, and transplanted to the hair loss area. The hair follicles that are transplanted will continue to grow like any hair follicles later.
What Does FUE Stand For?
FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction. This is when you extract one follicle unit at a time instead of removing a strip of scalp tissue.
How Does FUE Hair Transplant Work?
FUE hair transplant process follows a precise way and it is a very non invasive method for restoring natural looking hair loss. The first step in the process will be a complete evaluation of your donor site to find the most viable and strongest hair follicles for use in this type of hair replacement.
Your surgeon will next take each of these individual hair follicles from the donor site with a special tool. They will also create small recipient sites in the balding or thinning areas where the grafts will be placed. Each of these recipient sites will have been designed to mimic your natural hairline, as well as follow your natural hair direction and density.
The grafts are then implanted into these recipient sites according to your specific treatment plan. At this point, your newly planted follicles will start to develop its own blood supply and adjust to their new environment. Over the following months the transplanted hairs begin to grow naturally resulting in fuller, thicker and long lasting hair restoration.
