The FUE hair transplant, the best option against baldness

Everyone  suffers  from  problems of  hair loss sooner or later. In fact, it ends up afflicting  half of the men and one third of the women, in some of their forms, throughout their life. It is  in this  very  moment  that we have to  treat it as soon as possible and in an accurate manner, if we want to prevent it from spreading  all over our scalp.

During a  specialistic visit  we can  know if our hair fall is due to a lack of nutrients,  the  intake  of some medicine that affects  hair growth,  the presence of some disease  that is causing the  fall or the appearance of alopecia in some of its variants, as it is usually the case of those who become aware of  losing  more than 100 hair daily, that is considered  a normal amount.

Depending on the diagnosis, the specialist might then choose between a treatment based on vitamin complexes and  a treatment based on finasteride and minoxidil. Otherwise,  when the presence of an alopecia is confirmed,  the doctor  might recommend a specific type of a hair  transplant.

Thanks to the progress of science and the enormous investment, made from very different  sectors  related to hair health,  nowadays  you know  the most effective type of hair transplant is the one that uses the FUE ( Follicular Unit Extraction) technique. It consists  of  removing  follicular units from a donor area, generally from the back and side of the scalp to a receiving  area, usually the  receding hairlines, the  bold spots  or different parts of the occipital area of ​​our skull.

The reasons why the FUE transplant technique is the most used today by the best centers, specialized in hair implants, are simple. In the first place, with this surgical treatment, you can  get the transplanted hair from one area to another of the same person. Not only it  takes  root but  also, after completing its  first life cycle, gives the witness to new healthy follicles that will grow throughout our scalp for  life.

In the second place because, thanks to science, it is possible to transplant thousands of hair from one area to another without noticing, without pain and in  the same session, which means greater efficiency in terms of time and money that has a decisive  impact on  the patient’s pocket.

Hair implant following the FUE transplant technique

The FUE hair transplant works as follows: first, the follicles are removed, one by one from the donor area, then they are  relocated in the bald area. It is a surgical treatment that is performed  under  local anesthesia. It lasts  about seven or eight hours during  which the patient does not suffer even the slightest pain.

The  absence of pain extends to the postoperative period, that is fast and allows the patient to be discharged  after one  night stay in hospital  for  a follow  up. The patient can return to  his/her normal activities  just the day after the intervention  and, what is important,  it is a scarless surgery.
