As popularly known, hair transplantation is considered as one of the best and permanent procedure to regain lost hairs. Hair Transplant is minimal invasive method involves extraction of hair follicles from donor area and transplanted to a bald or balding area of the head (called as recipient site).

For best results, it is at all times suggested complying with the guidelines mentioned by your expert hair surgeon. Consultation with the expert surgeon prior to going for hair transplantation is also recommended to get knowledge about all the minute details of the process.

Local anesthesia is given to the patient before starting the procedure so as to make the scalp numb, this makes the surgical process quite painless as well as makes the patient calm during the complete procedure.

FUE Method of Hair Transplantation: It involves individual hair follicles to be taken out from the identified donor area and rooted to the designated recipient area of the patient’s scalp. Hairs from other body parts which have the majority of genetically baldness resistant hairs such as upper chest, beard, and upper back can also be utilized to collect hair grafts to be transplanted during the procedure.

Why is FUE method a choice of expert surgeons?

There are 10 wonderful merits of FUE transplantation technique over other techniques. These are:

FUE technique requires hair follicles extraction which does not leave any scars, only minute holes which heal up within some days.
In FUE technique, extraction of hairs for transplantation can also be done from other body parts and not only head which leads to future transplants trouble free.
After hair transplantation is done using FUE technique, the patient will undergo minimal post-procedure discomfort.
In FUE Hair Transplant, the surgeon can takes donor hair grafts from other body area as well like upper chest, back, armpit or beard. This gives it an additional advantage over other techniques.
Other techniques requires more time from hair strip extraction to dissection of hair follicles to hair transplantation, thus, more time is lapsed in between the steps which may make up to 20% of extracted hair wasted in the process.
Other techniques are relatively lengthy processes and require more expert hands to do the different jobs simultaneously and since most of the practitioners don’t employ much staff in lieu of cost-cutting, it results in loss of productivity.
Expert surgeons always try to preserve your donor area for future transplants while extracting hairs for the procedure underhand and since other techniques exploit most of your donor area in one sitting, hence those techniques are less preferred.
Most of the hair-losing people have very less hair left over on the sides and back of their scalps, thus making it difficult to extract scalp hair by employing other techniques.
Patients can resume to their routine work sooner in comparison to any other technique.
A Patient can even opt for shorter hairstyles after FUE treatment, unlike other techniques which require them to keep long hairs to hide the scars.
