What to Expect The Day of an FUE Procedure
1) On the day of your hair transplant, we will numb your scalp using local anesthetics at the donor and recipient sites.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), can be thought of as a “One-Hair-At-A-Time” method. Hair is relocated from the donor zone into the areas affected by thinning or genetic balding, using only your naturally occurring, follicular clusters of 1, 2, 3, and 4 hairs at a time.
Because you’ve selected FUE as your method of hair transplantation, this will be a minimally invasive procedure. However, because there is a limit to how many hairs can be transplanted using this method, more than one session may be required to meet your hair restoration goal. If that’s the case, you can rest assured that you will not be left looking like you’re “under construction.” We place the grafts as close as possible so each procedure stands on its own. You can walk away from this session and never come back and your results will still look completely natural.
2) A saline solution will be injected into the scalp making it easier to obtain and remove the donor hairs.
3) Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), can be thought of as a “One-Hair-At-A-Time” method. . The hairs are extracted the same way they grow, in naturally occurring clusters.
4) The extracted hairs will be examined under magnification to assess their integrity and suitability for transplantation.
5) These grafts are then meticulously placed at the correct angle, direction, and pattern of your original hair. Each graft is carefully placed to allow enough blood to nourish every hair during the brief healing process. Because we exclusively use naturally occurring follicular hair clusters of 1, 2, 3 and 4 hairs, any future hair loss will not result in unnatural-looking “islands” of transplanted hair.
6) Your donor area is dressed with an antibiotic ointment. There are no sutures or bandages.
