FUE Hair Transplantation
The Pinnacle of Modern Hair Restoration
Hair restoration has undergone a significant transformation over the last few decades. Traditional methods like hair plugs have given way to more advanced and less invasive procedures, like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). This advancement is partly due to the relentless pursuit of perfection and a desire to offer better solutions for individuals suffering from hair loss.
FUE Hair Transplantation Before – After
Understanding FUE Hair Transplantation
FUE is a modern hair transplantation method that involves removing individual hair follicles from the patient’s donor site, typically the back or sides of the head, and transplanting them to the thinning or balding areas. Each follicular unit is extracted individually, which distinguishes FUE from other transplantation methods, such as the strip method or Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), where a strip of scalp is removed and dissected into individual follicular units.
| Hair Transplantation Method | Scarring | Recovery Time | Other Advantages |
| FUE | Minimal | Quick | Individual graft extraction |
| FUT | Noticeable | Longer | Higher graft yield at once |
| Hair Plugs | Significant | Extended | – |
FUE is a preferred choice for many patients at Aktif International Hospital, thanks to its numerous advantages, such as less scarring, quicker recovery times, and the ability to return to normal activities
The FUE Procedure: A Closer Look
The FUE hair transplantation procedure at Aktif International Hospital is an intricate process that requires a highly skilled and experienced team of medical professionals. It begins with the preparation of the donor area, where individual hair follicles are extracted using a special tool that makes tiny circular incisions around each follicular unit. These units are then carefully collected and prepared for transplantation.
The next step involves the preparation of the recipient area. Tiny recipient sites are created where the grafts will be placed. Each graft is meticulously inserted into these prepared sites, a process that requires an artistic touch to ensure the new hair grows in a natural and aesthetically pleasing pattern.
Comparison DHI and FUE
Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) are both advanced hair transplantation techniques, but they differ in key aspects.
| Aspect | FUE | DHI |
| Method | Individual follicle extraction & transplantation | Simultaneous extraction and implantation |
| Scarring | Minimal | Minimal |
| Recovery Time | Quick | Quick |
| Precision | High | Higher (due to Choi Implanter) |
| Time Consumption | Less | More |
| Cost | Generally less | Generally more |
| Results | Natural, long-lasting | Natural, potentially more dense |

Post-Procedure Care and Expectations
After the FUE procedure, patients can expect some minor swelling and discomfort in the treated area, which subsides within a few days. A post-procedure care routine is provided, which includes instructions on washing the scalp, taking prescribed medications, and avoiding strenuous activities.
Hair growth after an FUE procedure is a gradual process. New hairs start to grow in the transplanted area after three to four months, and by the end of a year, most patients experience significant hair growth. Remember, the ultimate goal of FUE hair transplantation is to help individuals regain their confidence by restoring a natural-looking hairline.
