losing hair is very embarrassing for some. People tend to underestimate themselves
and loose self confidence. You need not worry any more; with advanced
technology different methods of hair transplantation has become easier. One
such method is FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction.
Advantages of FUE
This is one of the two
primary types of hair transplant surgery of obtaining follicular unit for
hair transplantation.
·
In this method, individual follicular units are
extracted from patient’s donor area, one at a time.
·
Advanced FUE helps in creation of larger donor
pools by harvesting hair follicles from areas other than head, like from legs,
arms, chest, beard, abdomen and back face.
·
Recovery time in FUE is generally quicker.
·
There is significantly less post operative
discomfort in FUE as compared to other transplantation methods.
·
Where scalp is not suitable for strip
extraction, FUE method helps in the hair transplantation.
·
Post
operative scars and injuries are generally smaller and less in FUE method as
very little skin is removed, only hair and surrounding tissue is removed. All
scars fade away with time. Generally there is no post operative stitching
required in this method, as skin is not removed.
As is the case with any aspect of
life it has two sides, if you have brighter side then there is darker side too.
Similarly there are few disadvantages of FUE procedure too.
