especially for women where hairs are a sign of attractiveness. You will find

bald patches in short time with more efficiency.
Follicular unit extraction
Follicular unit extraction is a hair treatment method in which the hairs
are extracted from a part and placed on the bald area. For this, an instrument
is used which makes a small incision in the skin and then the surgeon separated
it from the scalp directly. This is continued until enough of follicular units
are taken. The wounds that are approx 1-mm in size are healed within a week.
FUE Hair transplant is one method that is different from other such methods
because in follicular unit extraction, the follicular units are removed
directly from the scalp one-by-one and placed in the recipient sites on the
bald area which were already made with the help of special instruments.FUE
Hair transplant technique uses instruments that are specially
designed for this purpose. FUE transplant doesn’t leave big scars infact it is even
suitable for those with very short hairs. The donor site can be different for
the treatment but special care and attention is needed before performing this.
The FUE operation may be as short as 2-4 hours or it may last for even two
consecutive days where the recipient site is large and requires many follicle
units to be replaced. But post operation, patients are free to resume their
activities because in FUE there is no linear incision and hence are not really
visible except for white spots under the hairs. Before opting for FUE Hair
transplant, you should be aware of its pros and cons as most of the
individuals have sensitive skins.
Hair transplantation has now grown into a
separate field as it offers varied solutions to hair loss. Hair loss is a
critical condition often leading to baldness. To avoid this, various hair
treatment methods are being discovered by the scientists, which are reliable
and free of any side-effects. The treatments are performed under the
supervision of trained and experienced surgeons and while these transplant
methods are costlier than temporary hair restoring methods, they still provide
long lasting and more effective results.
