Hair Transplants

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

Hair Transplant. Follicular unit extraction or FUE is a hair transplant technique in which a small round punch is used to extract follicular units from a patient's bald resistant donor areas. The cost per graft of FUE is also typically twice the cost of the standard follicular unit hair transplant procedure in which a strip of donor tissue is removed from the back of the head and trimmed under magnification into individual follicular unit grafts. During the Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE procedure individual follicular unit grafts are excised one at a time using a tiny one millimeter or less sized punch. How the minimally invasive hair transplant procedure known as Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE is performed.

Since the direction and angle of the follicular unit beneath the skin can't be seen and can often differ from the direction of the hair on the surface, a sharp punch if used below the surface of the skin might transect or severe the underlying follicular unit.


Comparing Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) to the Standard Strip Procedure.

While the FUE procedure has grown in popularity, largely due to the minimally invasive way in which follicular unit grafts are removed, the standard strip excision method is still the most popular hair transplant procedure. Donor strip being excised Incision sutured together Hair combed down after suturing The standard strip excision method involves surgically removing a strip of scalp from the bald resistant donor area of the patient. 


Small groups of hair follicles (mini-grafts) and individual hairs (micro-grafts) are cut from the back of the scalp and transplanted to recreate or enhance a natural looking hairline and provide hairs or increase density to the bald or balding areas of the scalp. Since the original location of the hair follicle determines its fate, the transplanted hairs grow as they would normally in their original location. 


Advantages 
Modern technique, the use of large numbers of very small grafts, and new medications that to a certain extent slow down the balding process, have made hair transplants a very useful and cosmetically sucessful procedure. 

Disadvantages 
While mega sessions (1000 - 2000 grafts per session) are appropriate for some patients, better results with less complications are often achieved with multiple (2 - 4) smaller sessions. During each of these sessions 400 to 700 grafts are done, with an interval of two to three weeks between sessions. Recovery time is four to five days. The average costs to restore a balding scalp can range from $10,000 to $20,000. As with any procedure, complications such as infection and scarring can affect the final cosmetic result.
