Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is the most popular and effective treatment for those who suffer from hair loss. This treatment has gained popularity due to the incredible results that it has provided for its patients during the last few years. The success rate for this treatment is like 98% so it is considered very safe with minimal side effects. 

Although the FUE offers great results you should know that they will take a while to show so you need to be patient. After hair transplant surgery, it will take six to twelve months for the results to show. To ensure that you're ready for every step of the process, it's critical to know what will happen to your hair both during and after FUE hair transplantation.

What Is A FUE Hair Transplant?

Using a hair transplant method called FUE, individual donor follicles are extracted from one part of the head which is usually the back, and then transplanted into areas of the head experiencing baldness or thinning hair. Surgeons can transplant up to 4,000 hair follicles in a single session, depending on the amount of hair removed.

Compared to other hair transplant procedures, the FUE hair transplant method requires less scarring and may be done in a single day. There are no FUTure limitations on how short your hair may be trimmed; this procedure only forms a new hairline that will provide complete hair regeneration.

How Does FUE Hair Transplant Surgery Differ From FUT Hair Transplant Surgery?

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) is another kind of hair transplant procedure. Because a bigger medical team is needed to complete the hair transplant surgery, FUT hair transplants are often more invasive. Additionally, because the donor site is scarred, it may not be desirable for those who want to keep their hair short.

In order to reduce scarring and let hair grow through the scar tissue, a hair strip is excised during a FUT hair transplant process, and the scalp is sutured together using a trichophytic closure. Following that, the strip is divided into individual follicles, which are subsequently inserted into the bald spots.

What Happens After A FUE Hair Transplant Procedure?

You will be able to see the precise site of the freshly transplanted hair in the form of your new hairline after your procedure. Additionally, your scalp will feel painful, swollen, and scabbing. The scabs on the scalp following a FUE surgery usually heal really fast and are minimal.

You will receive an aftercare program from our clinic and certain advice to follow. This might entail changing your bathing and sleeping habits after getting a hair transplant, and it's likely that you'll need to rest at home for a few days.

Most of the redness, pain, and swelling should have gone down within a week or so of the healing process. The right time when you should resume brushing, shampooing, and having your first haircut following hair transplant surgery will be determined by your hair transplant surgeon.

Does A Hair Transplant Hurt?

Since local anesthesia is used during the hair transplants procedure, there is no discomfort experienced throughout the procedure. The patient will experience no pain during the treatment since the donor and planting areas will be numb by the local anesthetic. Pain in the head region may start toward the end of the therapy as the anesthesia starts to wear off. Painkillers are used following the procedure to help with these aches as well. In the first week following hair transplantation, even if you don't feel any discomfort, it's advised to take the prescription medications as directed. This reduces discomfort and pain and makes the therapy procedure more comfortable for the patients.

When Will I See My Final Hair Transplant Results After FUE?

After your hair transplant process, the majority of your new hair will grow in around five to six months. When the hair follicles mature, the hair will be at its longest and thickest around 8 to 10 months. The full results should be available after around 12 months, but they may also take up to 18 months to show. Even after this, the texture and color might still be developing and changing somewhat. Since every person is unique and grows hair at a different rate, all time periods are based on average experiences. One thing you can count on is that the effects will be permanent.

Will It Look Natural?

The line that the hair makes around the face is known as the hairline. Like a map, the hair surrounds the face in its natural structure in an indented, unique line. The forehead does not have excessive hair growth. It begins and keeps going, focusing on the head. Excessive width or narrowness of the forehead can sometimes provide an unnatural impression. When constructing the front hairline, factors including age and overall face shape are crucial.

To put it briefly, the hair design and transplantation procedure need to be designed separately in order for the hair to appear as natural as possible. 3D design tools are often utilized to achieve this. A three-dimensional pattern is created on the patient's pictures prior to hair transplantation. Furthermore, they will be aware of what to expect from the procedure before it begins so there won't be any unexpected effects following the hair transplant.

My Hair Is Falling Out After A Hair Transplant. Is This Normal?

You may be shocked to learn that the transplanted hairs start to fall out and your hair reverts to its pre-transplant appearance around two weeks following your treatment, but don't worry. This is referred to as hair transplant shedding and is a normal part of the procedure.

A follicle experiences a transient blood shortage as it is moved around the head. This causes existing hairs to begin falling out and hair that has been transplanted from one region to another to momentarily stop growing. The hair follicle is still present, though, and it will begin to generate new hair when it has healed from the transplant. You'll see changes over the following few months as hair grows at an average rate of 1 centimeter every month. Though it can take up to 18 months, 4 or 5 months following therapy, you could start to have a sense of the outcome.

Is It Normal For Spots To Develop After A FUE Hair Transplant?

As the hair starts to grow, you can see areas on your scalp that resemble pimples. Some individuals are concerned that this indicates an infection or damage to their scalp or follicles. Spots are usually an indication of good results. It shows that while your new hairs are attempting to come out through the scalp, they could be stuck. They will eventually pierce the skin and grow normally. Speak with your clinic, though, if you're worried about your spots or if they start leaking a lot. They will provide you with the best advice on how to take the best possible care of your scalp and hair.

Why Is My New Hair Growth Thin And/Or Patchy?

Your transplanted hair follicles may first produce extremely little, maybe colorless hairs. Some may also see spotty growth of new hair in some areas. This is a natural aspect of the first few months after a FUE transplant and explains why it takes so long to see the true effects of your hair transplant. Your hair will eventually grow and develop into the same color and texture as the rest of your hair.

How Can I Encourage My Hair To Grow Faster?

You must closely adhere to your post-transplant aftercare instructions if you want the best hair transplant outcomes. Although it might not have a major impact on how quickly your full transplant results take to show, it can help encourage healthy hair growth and lower your chance of experiencing more hair loss. In this way, you may be sure that the benefits you notice are long-lasting.
