There are multiple techniques used for hair transplantation. Among these methods, FUE hair transplantation provides natural and effective results compared to other methods.
Let’s take a look at the features of the FUE technique, the details of the operation and the healing process.
What is FUE Hair Transplantation?
FUE hair transplantation method is a widely used hair transplantation method in the world. In this method, no incision is made on the scalp and no piercing is performed on the skin. FUE is abbreviation of Follicular Unit Extraction. The method entered the medical literature in 2002. In the FUE method; The hair follicles are taken one by one from the area selected as the donor area and implanted in the needed area. Hair follicles taken from the donor area are transplanted to the desired area individually, not in bulk, but in the same way. For this reason, the procedure is performed with longer sessions compared to other methods.
Today, this method is done with a micromotor, not with the punches used in the past. Although it is a widely used technique, It is very important how FUE hair transplantation is applied. The method should definitely be applied by specialist healthcare professionals. Otherwise, an unaesthetic hair appearance may occur.
How is FUE Hair Transplantation Performed?
Before FUE hair transplantation, the hair of the person in the donor area from which the hair will be taken is shortened to 1 mm in size. The hair removal process from the donor area is started after the hair shortening process. Before starting the procedure, the area to be transplanted and the donor area from which the hair will be taken are anesthetized with local anesthesia. General anesthesia is not applied during this method. In addition, any surgical method is not within the scope of the technique. The donor area is usually defined as the nape area behind the two ears. Apart from hair transplantation, if transplantation procedures such as mustache or beard are also considered, this should be reported to the specialist healthcare provider. Because the number of hair follicles and tissue pieces (grafts) in the donor area is limited. After local anesthesia is applied, the micro motor tip is brought towards the exit direction of the hair follicle so as to receive the hair follicle and separates the hair follicle from the skin. After taking as many grafts as needed, hair transplantation is performed with the same method to the desired area.
How Is The Process After Transplantation?
After the operation, some changes occur on the transplanted hair. The most important of these changes is the shedding of the transplanted hair in a very short time. Although the loss of newly transplanted hair scares the person, the hair that has been lost will grow back permanently after a very short time. After the operation, the person is sent home to rest. The person is requested not to travel by car or use such vehicles for 6-10 hours from the end of the operation. After hair transplantation, pay attention not to touch the treated area, this area should not come into contact with water. Keeping the head upright is important for the edema to heal in a short time. Medicines and creams given by the doctor should be used.

Where Should FUE Hair Transplantation Be Done?
Although hair transplantation may seem simple, it is a surgical operation. For this reason, it should be done in a hospital environment by specialist doctors and an experienced team.
Turkey is the first country proposed by international institutions in this field. Because, in addition to successful operations performed by experienced and talented surgeons with high technology and quality equipment, it stands out from other countries with its affordable price policy. Due to the health tourism policies, the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Turkey frequently inspects the competencies, physical facilities and price policies of institutions that accept international patients. In this way, the budget allocated for flights, accommodation and treatment by patients coming to Turkey for treatment is much more advantageous than a treatment in their own country.
