Losing your hair is extremely traumatic for most people, and ultimately the only remedy is to undergo hair transplant surgery.
One of the most modern forms of hair surgery, FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), involves extracting donor hair so that it can be transplanted in a follicular unit hair transplant. The procedure involves using an instrument to make a tiny circular incision around a follicular unit to separate it from tissue surrounding it. Once the unit is pulled from the scalp it leaves a tiny open gap. This procedure is repeated until sufficient units have been taken to complete the hair restoration process. The entire procedure is carried out by a hair transplant surgeon and usually takes from a few hours to a couple of days to complete, often depending on patients’ requirements. The healing process takes about seven to ten days resulting in minute white scars masked by the hair in the back and sides of the scalp.
As FUE doesn’t leave a linear scar, this type of hair surgery is popular with patients who wish to have very short hair. It is also a suitable procedure for professional sportsmen, such as footballers, who have to resume their sporting activities as soon as possible following the surgery.
This hair transplant procedure may also be advantageous for patients who have not healed particularly well from conventional strip harvesting or whose scalp is extremely tight.
There is some confusion about FUE and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) which leads some patients to think that FUE is less intrusive than FUT or doesn’t involve surgery. The truth is that both FUE and FUT procedures involve hair surgery with the same depth of the incision. The difference lies in the nature of the incision. FUE involves numerous circular incisions made throughout the donor region while in FUT only one single long incision is made in the centre of the donor area.
