FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction. This method was developed by the Japanese and is still used worldwide today. FUE involves individually extracting hair follicles and transplanting them to the designated area. An important point is that the transplanted hair is still your own. Because of this meticulous process, FUE sessions are longer than other hair transplant methods. Nowadays, the procedure is often performed using advanced tools like micromotors.
What Are the FUE Hair Transplant Techniques?
Micro FUE Hair Transplant:
The micro FUE technique is an advanced version of the traditional manual method. Hair follicles are extracted using specialized equipment with micro tips, creating tiny holes between 0.6 and 0.9 mm.
Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant:
Similar to micro FUE, the sapphire FUE technique differs by using tips made from sapphire. Tiny channels are created in the scalp, which reduces scabbing and accelerates the healing process.
Soft FUE Hair Transplant:
In soft FUE, sedation-supported medications are used to help the patient relax during the procedure. This method allows for a more comfortable experience and less pain compared to other techniques. The sedation drugs used do not have systemic effects on the body.
In total, there are three different FUE hair transplant techniques. Our clinic is an expert in all types of hair transplantation, and our specialists can provide guidance on the most suitable technique for you.
