FUE Hair Transplant
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplantation method, also known as follicular transfer is one of the most preferred methods by hair transplant specialists in terms of its advantages during and after the procedure. . It is a follicular transfer process that allows the hair follicles taken one by one from the donor area to be placed on the bald skin by means of micro motors.
. It gives healthier results than the old hair transplant procedures and is preferred because it does not form incision marks. The FUE method can also be preferred as an alternative to the DHI technique. Both methods are the most successful and the closest results to the natural hair appearance can be obtained. FUE method is used in hair, eyebrow, eyelash and beard transplantation.
WHAT IS FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT METHOD?
The process of transferring the hair follicles taken from the donor area of the people with the help of special fine-tipped micro motors to the bald areas is called the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method. In the procedure applied with local anesthesia, there is no feeling of pain and ache. It does not have a compelling and destructive system like the first methods used in hair transplantation. It ensures that the hair follicles are taken more carefully and one by one. It is a method that has been developed to prevent permanent scars such as stitches in the donor area or the area where the roots are planted, and provides healing in a short time.
What is the Post-FUE Hair Transplantation Process?
Before performing the operation, an informative meeting is held about what kind of process the patient expects and how to care for his/her hair after the procedure. The more recommendations we give are followed, the faster the recovery process will be after the procedure. When the procedure is finished, the patient is dressed with special dressing materials and if the specialists deem it necessary, the transplanted area is wrapped. The transplanted area of the patient remains in the dressing for approximately two days. It is important to avoid contact with water within two weeks after the procedure. The channels opened with a special tool similar to a sapphire-tipped pen are very small micro-channels. After the procedure, crusting can be seen in these channels. The duration of this crusting and shedding of crusts is one week to ten days, and the wound is almost completely healed during this time. Within 1-2 months after the procedure, the stage in which the hair starts to shed rapidly, also known as the shock shedding stage, can be seen in the patient. Sometimes, patients who encounter the shock spill phase may worry about the negative outcome of the procedure. However, this situation is normal and temporary, the shedding slows down over time and stops completely after a while. After this stage, it is seen that the hair starts to grow again. In the sixth month, new hairs will appear to a large extent. Within 1 – 1.5 years after the procedure, hair growth is almost complete. After the procedure, it is recommended to use special anti-shedding and caring shampoos. In addition, it is important for the patient to use vitamins and minerals that nourish the scalp.
FUE hair transplantation is a hair transfer method that has been widely used all over the world in recent years. The success of hair transplantation depends on the hair structure and quality of the patient. However, the experience of the experts and the team performing the operation is one of the most important factors in the successful completion of the operation.

Techniques
Steps of the FUE Hair Transplant Procedure
- Consultation: The process begins with a comprehensive consultation where the surgeon assesses the patient’s hair loss pattern, discusses goals, and creates a personalized treatment plan.
- Preparation: On the day of the procedure, the donor area (typically the back of the scalp) is shaved and sterilized. Local anesthesia is administered to ensure the patient’s comfort.
- Extraction: Using a micro-punch tool, individual hair follicles are carefully extracted from the donor area. This step is meticulous to ensure minimal damage to the follicles.
- Graft Preservation: The extracted follicles are preserved in a specialized solution to maintain their viability until implantation.
- Implantation: Tiny incisions are made in the recipient area, and the hair follicles are meticulously implanted into these incisions, following the natural hair growth pattern.
- Post-Procedure Care: The patient receives detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and optimize the results of the transplant.
FUE can be applied to anyone over the age of 18. Anyone who has hair loss and hair loss problems is suitable for hair transplantation. However, if the patients have an additional skin disease, the procedure may not give the expected result. The patients with any additional disease are first referred to the relevant area, and after the necessary treatments are performed, if full recovery is achieved, hair transplantation can be applied. The FUE method is a widely used method in men, as well as giving effective results in women who have hair loss problems.
Before the DHI hair transplantation method is applied, the necessary evaluations should be made by the specialist doctor, as in the FUE method. After your doctor’s approval, the appropriate time period is determined for hair transplantation with the DHI method.
On the day of the operation, the donor area of the person (usually the nape area) is shaved. Grafts containing single, double, triple or quadruple hair follicles are started to be collected manually or via a micro motor. The collected roots are placed in the area to be planted without waiting. . At this stage, the Choi pen is involved in the process and the collected hair follicles are planted with Choi. The canal is opened with the tip of the Choi used in the application and the hair root is placed in the canal and the planting process is completed.
The FUE technique consists of four stages. First of all, the donor area where the hair follicles will be collected is shaved and the work starts. The reason for this is to facilitate the removal of hair follicles with the help of micromotor. After this stage, the area where the hair follicles will be collected is anesthetized with local anesthetic medicines and the second stage is started. . During the second stage, which is the removal of hair follicles, hair follicles are collected one by one from the nape area by micromotor method. . At this stage, the most important reason for choosing the nape area as a donor area is that the hair in this area is more resistant to shedding. . It takes an average of two hours to collect hair follicles. After the acquisition of healthy hair follicles is completed, it is very important to preserve these hair follicles without damage. When sufficient amount of hair follicles are obtained, it should be waited for a while, but this period should not be too long. For this reason, the collected healthy hair follicles are placed in a special solution. Afterwards, the area to be planted is anesthetized with local anesthesia. After that, one of the most important stages of the process, the channel opening stage is passed. After the roots are collected, holes called canals are opened with the help of sapphire-tipped special tools in the area to be transferred, and the collected hair follicles are transferred to the holes one by one at the most suitable angle for the hair. FUE hair transplantation is completed in an average of 6-8 hours. All these procedures are performed using local anesthesia and the person does not experience any pain or pain during the procedure.
