How is hair transplantation done using the FUE technique?

• During the initial examination, the doctor begins by determining the density of the client’s hair and the places where hair transplantation is required, as well as the density of hair required in that area.
• Using the pen, we begin to draw boundaries for the place of hair transplantation (the forehead line). This varies from person to person to suit the features of the face, and this is also done based on the client’s recommendations.
• The next step is to determine the dimensions of the donor area.
• Using the painless anesthesia machine, the doctor begins to numb the donor area.
• Now the doctor begins to extract hair follicles from the donor area, using a device called a “micrograph motor”.
• The diameter of the device used ranges between (0.7: 0.9 mm)
• The process of picking out the follicles must be done with perfection, so that the doctor can remove the follicles from well-spaced places with extreme precision so as not to leave any trace after the recovery process.
• The follicles are kept in a specialized liquid so as not to be damaged.
• The doctor goes to the area affected by baldness or where hair is to be transplanted, then begins to open channels evenly and regularly.
• The number of channels that are opened is equal to the number of follicles that were extracted from the donor area.

FUE Hair transplant steps 

Before FUE hair transplant 

• Tell your doctor if you have health problems or have taken certain medications during previous periods.
• Stop taking aspirin and blood thinners.
• At least a day before the operation, you must abstain from smoking and alcohol; It reduces blood flow through the scalp and affects hair growth.

• Especially for people with heavy jobs, waiting for a period of 7 to 14 days is an ideal time to return.

Aftercare instructions 

Avoid sunlight

After the hair transplant procedure, the patient should avoid direct exposure to the sun, as it is necessary to protect the scalp for a period of one to two months.

Exposure to the sun for long periods of time leads to significant damage such as deep tissue damage.

Avoid sexual intercourse 

In general, sexual contact should be avoided during the recovery period, as it leads to sweating, which is detrimental to the process. Especially during the first days after the operation, as it may move the follicles.

The same is true for:

• severe coughing or sneezing;
• strenuous exercise
• swimming.

Avoid smoking and alcoholic beverages

Not giving up smoking prolongs the recovery period, as nicotine increases the hardness of blood vessels and makes them narrow, which negatively affects the growth of new hair.
