Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Hair Transplant in Gurgaon

Follicular Unit Extraction is an advanced technique for hair transplant and is currently the most commonly done hair restoration surgery worldwide. FUE Hair Transplant in Gurgaon is also quite popular. In this, each follicle of hair from the donor area is individually picked using small cuts and then implanted in the donor area. As compared to the older technique of Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) or the strip technique this surgery is less invasive. In FUT the entire strip of scalp containing the follicles used to be removed but in FUE no stitches are required. Thus, FUE has a fast recovery, less pain, and fewer complications.

Advantages

• • Minimally invasive
  • Stitchless
  • Less painful for the patient
  • Recovery is quicker

Disadvantages

• • Requires expertise
  • More expensive

Follicular Unit Extraction Procedure

Donor area:
Usually, the back of the scalp or the occipital area is chosen as the donor area because the hair follicles present here are permanent and not affected by testosterone which leads to patterned hair loss. Small, cylindrical cuts are made within the skin to separate the follicular units from the surrounding areas. Then the hair follicle unit is pulled out with the help of specialized instruments leaving a tiny hole in the skin which heals on its own by 5-7 days.
The extracted hair follicle units are then stored in special solutions before being transplanted into the recipient or the bald areas of the scalp.

Recipient area:
The recipient area is cleansed thoroughly before creating tiny holes using a small needle. The extracted follicular units are then transplanted into these holes using specialized instruments. The process is repeated until the whole of the bald area is covered by a sufficient number of grafts.
