Hair loss can be a frustrating and distressing experience for many people. While various treatments are available, the FUE hair transplant is one of the most popular and effective options.

This blog post will discuss what to expect from an FUE hair transplant, including the benefits, risks, and costs.

FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction.

It’s a hair transplant method where individual hair follicles are taken from a donor area and transplanted to a bald or thinning area.

FUE is less invasive than traditional hair transplants, such as the strip method, as it does not require a linear incision in the scalp.

The FUE method uses a small punch tool to remove individual hair follicles from the back of the head.

The punch tool size varies depending on the thickness of the hair, but it’s typically around 0.7mm to 10mm in diameter.

The hair follicles are removed one by one, which can take several hours, depending on the number of hair follicles transplanted.

The process is done under local anaesthesia to minimize discomfort. The hair follicles are then transplanted to the recipient area, where they will grow new hair.

FUE hair transplant has several benefits over traditional hair transplant methods. Here are a few of them:

• FUE hair transplant has less scarring:
  The FUE method uses a small punch tool to remove individual hair follicles from the scalp, whereas the traditional strip method involves removing a strip of skin from the scalp, which can leave a linear scar. The FUE method leaves behind small, round scars that are virtually invisible and less noticeable than a linear scar.
• The FUE method uses individual hair follicles:
  Each hair follicle is removed separately rather than as a strip.This allows for a more precise and delicate extraction process, leading to less damage to surrounding hair and tissue.
• The strip method uses a linear incision:
  This can leave a visible scar that is more noticeable than the small, round scars left behind by the FUE method.
• FUE hair transplant has a faster healing time:
  Because the FUE method uses individual hair follicles and small, round scars, the healing process is typically faster than the traditional strip method.The small round scars typically heal within a few days, whereas the linear incision from the strip method can take several weeks to heal.
• FUE hair transplant has natural-looking results:
  The individual hair follicles are transplanted to the recipient area in a way that mimics the natural growth pattern of hair.This leads to a more natural-looking hairline and overall result, as opposed to a more artificial-looking result with the traditional strip method.The natural-looking results of FUE hair transplant are due to the precise and delicate extraction process and the transplantation of individual hair follicles in a way that mimics the natural growth pattern of hair.This leads to a more natural-looking hairline and overall result, which is desirable for many patients.

After the FUE hair transplant, you may experience some swelling, redness and itching in the scalp.

These side effects are usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

The transplanted hair will fall out within a few weeks, but new hair will begin to grow within 3-4 months. The new hair will be thinner initially but thickens over time.

FUE hair transplant has minimal side effects. Some people may experience numbness or a tingling sensation in the scalp, but this usually goes away within a few days.

Other possible side effects include infection, bleeding, and scarring, which are rare.

The cost of an FUE hair transplant in India can vary depending on the number of hair follicles transplanted and the clinic you choose.

It ranges from INR 60,000 to 2,50,000 in Maharashtra. The cost also depends on the experience and qualifications of the surgeon performing the procedure.

It’s important to remember that hair transplants are considered cosmetic procedures; therefore, they are not typically covered by insurance.

It’s best to consult with a hair transplant specialist for an accurate cost estimate and to discuss your specific needs and goals.

Choosing a reputable clinic with experienced surgeons for the procedure is also important. Research and read reviews, look at before and after pictures, and schedule a consultation to ensure that you find a clinic and surgeon you feel comfortable with.
