FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Hair Transplant | HospitalXP, Istanbul, Turkey

Partial or complete hair loss can become a severe psychological and aesthetic problem. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a seamless transplant of the patient's hair from one place to another. It can also be used for patients who want to adjust the hairline to increase the density of eyebrows, mustache, and sideburns. The procedure takes place under local anesthesia and is entirely painless. It is carried out in two steps: first, the doctor extracts individual follicles, then implants them into the hair loss zone. On average, FUE lasts 5-7 hours, during which the doctor transplants up to 7. 000 follicles. Since the skin flap is not cut out, but hairs are taken locally, such an operation is easily tolerated and rarely leads to complications. In addition, the intervention in the tissue is performed at a depth of less than 1 mm, so extensive damage and severe swelling should not be feared. Hair transplantation is often combined with plasma therapy. First, a small amount of blood is taken from the patient. Then, plasma is separated from it in a centrifuge, enriched with platelets, and injected into the scalp. The method does not require hospitalization and a lengthy recovery period. The use of platelet-rich plasma stimulates the growth and quality of hair after transplantation. The result of a delicate micro-operation is gaining dense hair and self-confidence.
