Many people want their lost hair to be strong as it was, hence refers to hair transplantation operations. After a successful hair transplantation, the hair can regain its former health and return to its abundant days.

During this method, no incision is made on the scalp and no piercing is performed on the scalp.
With FUE hair transplantation method, the hair follicles are taken one by one from the area chosen as the donor area and placed in the area as an implant where the transplantation is desired. This causes the procedure to be performed with a longer session compared to other methods.

Reasons For Preferring FUE Hair Transplantation
FUE hair transplant is much more innovative than other methods, and it has recently been widely preferred because it provides much convenience to both the patient and the doctor.

There is no stitch marks after the operation since no insicion is made on the scalp. Since the recovery period is shortened, the speed of achieving a healthy appearance increases. For all these reasons, FUE method is preferred.
FUE hair transplantation method is widely preferred by those who want a painless hair plantation process. The whole hair transplantation process is completed in 6-7 hours with local anesthesia.
How Is FUE Hair Transplantation Done?
Before FUE hair transplantation, hairs in the donor area are brought to a length of 1 mm. After shortening the hair, hair follicles are taken from the donor area. Before starting the process, the area where the hair will be transplanted and the area where the hair follicles will be taken are numbed with local anesthesia. After the anesthesia process, the micro-motor tip depilates the hair follicle from the skin towards the direction of hair growth so as to take the hair root. After the needed grafts are taken, the transplantation process is performed with the same method. The nape of the neck behind both ears is usually chosen as the donor area. Apart from hair transplantation, if transplantation procedures such as mustache or beard are considered, this should be stated to the healthcare professional. Because, the hair follicles collected from the donor area have a certain amount and are taken one by one.
How Long Is The Session Duration of the Fue Hair Transplantation?
FUE hair transplantation operation time varies according to the size of the area to be grafted. How much hair follicle and hair tissue is required for the transplantation area is important in terms of the duration of the process time. The graft is the hair follicle tissue taken from the person, and the word grafting gives the exact meaning of transplantation. During FUE hair grafting, an average of 4000 to 4500 hair roots are needed during the process, and a process with these amounts can take about 6 to 7 hours. Depending on the number of grafts, there have been cases where the hair transplantation period takes nine hours. Short-term breaks can be given during the procedure depending on the condition of the session. It may take between 2 and 4 hours to get the grafts during the FUE technique. There is a short break after graft removal.
