    What Is An FUE Hair Transplant?

    FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) hair transplant surgery is a procedure that involves extracting individual hair follicles from the back and sides of your head and transplanting them to a part of the scalp that suffers from thinning or balding.

    Patients can undergo FUE hair transplant surgery to a receding hairline or temples as well as a balding crown. The Treatment Rooms London is a hair transplant clinic that excels in providing men, women and transgender patients an FUE hair transplant procedure, giving all patients dedicated Surgeon-led care.

      How Does FUE Hair Transplant Surgery Work?

      FUE transplant surgery involves relocating hairs from the back and sides of the head to a balding area such as a receding hairline or thin crown. Over a 6-12 month period, these hairs will grow, recreating hair where it has previously been lost. The end result is a rejuvenated appearance of naturally grown hair.

      The process takes place whilst the patient is under local anaesthesia. Once the patient is unable to feel anything, our leading surgeons extract each hair follicle individually.

      The extracted hair follicles are then reinserted using specialist sub-millimetre techniques, puncturing the areas of the scalp that are due to receive the transplanted hair follicles. The next part of the procedure applies an artistic touch as our surgeons must consider hair depth, angulation, direction, and density to provide as natural and realistic a look as possible.

      The donor area where the hair has been extracted from, heal with dot-like scars less than a millimetre in diameter. These FUE scars cannot be seen once the hair has grown to a grade 1 or 2.

      In the first 1-3 months, the newly implanted hair will shed before growing again in 4-12 months, this is when the full results will be realised.

      As hair is taken from an area that does not suffer from the underlying hair loss process, FUE hair transplants should last for 20 years and potentially a lifetime.

      Who Is A Candidate For An FUE Hair Transplant?

      There are a number of factors that go into deciding whether or not you might be a candidate for an FUE hair transplant. Most commonly, good candidates for a FUE hair transplant are those patients who have reached an age where their hair loss has naturally stabilised or if they have taken medication to help prevent further loss.

      Another important consideration is why you are losing hair and diagnosing your hair loss as well as its impact on your health. If you have a hair loss condition that is amenable to surgery we then evaluate whether or not there is healthy hair growth on the back and sides of the head. This is also called the donor area and is where our hair transplant surgeons will harvest healthy hair follicles, relocating them to the affected hair loss areas of the scalp.

      Other considerations include the texture of the hair, hair colour, and the type of hair. These considerations are discussed in detail during a consultation with your hair transplant Surgeon, either Dr Fernando, Dr Vara or Dr Pather.

        Can An FUE Hair Transplant Fail?

        Careful planning and quality surgery should ensure patients are able to succeed in restoring their hairline or crown. The most common reasons we find in patients who request a hair transplant repair where their original surgery had failed are:

        1. Poor surgical planning
        2. Too many grafts taken out in a single day
        3. Poor quality extraction
        4. Poor quality implantation
        5. Technician-led surgery with no Surgeon involvement
        6. Poor quality aftercare

        At The Treatment Rooms London, we have extensive experience in repair failed hair transplants and run a free repair programme for patients who have particularly suffered as a result of poor quality surgery. This includes relocating poorly implanted hair and thickening previously implanted areas as seen in the patient pictured.

        Does An FUE Hair Transplant Leave Scars?

        FUE hair transplant surgery leave small "dot-like" scars less than 1mm in diameter across the donor area from which hair has been taken from. This is commonly across the sides and back of the scalp. Other donor areas can be the beard or chest area too. These scars cannot be seen once the hair has grown to a grade 1 or 2 and this is showcased in the adjacent image.

        How Long Does An FUE Hair Transplant Take?

        The procedure takes approximately 6-8 hours to complete depending on the size of the case. The day is often split into the rough schedule below:

        1. Planning of the procedure (1 hour)
        2. Anaesthesia and incisions (1 hour)
        3. Extraction of hair (2 hours)
        4. Lunch (45 mins)
        5. Implantation of hair (2 hours)
        6. Post-operation recovery and debrief (30 mins)

        Does FUE Hair Transplant Hair Fall Out?

        The implanted hair will often fall out for the first 1-2 months after an FUE hair transplant- this is a normal part of the process. The roots that were implanted remain under the skin surface and will begin to grow after 3-4 months following the procedure. They will have grown entirely by 9-12 months and you will be able to style your hair normally.

        Hair that is implanted using the FUE hair transplant technique, should last 10-20 years or longer.
