Hair loss is a common issue for men across the globe, millions of men face balding and thinning hair. The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant method offers an effective and minimally invasive solution to restore hair. In this guide, we’ll break down the FUE process, helping you understand what to expect from start to finish.  

Introduction to FUE Hair Transplant

The FUE Hair Transplant is a widely recognized procedure known for its precision and effectiveness. Unlike the older "strip" method, FUE doesn’t involve large incisions or scarring, making it a preferred choice for many. This method involves extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area and implanting them into areas where the hair is thinning or balding.

Many men search for affordable and effective hair restoration solutions, and FUE Hair Transplant in Turkey has emerged as a top choice due to the combination of expert care and competitive pricing. Este Medical can proudly boast over 20, 000 successful hair transplant, just have a look at some of the amazing results we have helped our clients achieve.  

How Does FUE Hair Transplant Work?

1. Consultation and Personalized Planning

Every successful hair transplant starts with a personalized consultation, we also offer virtual consultations for clients based all round the road. During this stage, a specialist will assess your hair and scalp condition to design a customized treatment plan to suit your hair type and regrowth needs. The plan takes into account factors like the pattern of hair loss, the density of the donor area, and your expectations.

2. Arrive at our State-of-the-Art facility in Istanbul

All of this takes place in the breathtaking city of Istanbul, where modern healthcare meets rich cultural heritage.

3. Preparation and Local Anesthesia

Before the procedure begins, the donor area (typically the back or sides of the head) is trimmed to allow for easier extraction of hair follicles. Local anesthesia is administered to ensure the procedure is comfortable and pain-free. This is a major advantage of the FUE method, as no general anesthesia is required.

4. Follicular Unit Extraction

The core of the FUE procedure lies in the extraction of hair follicles. A specialized punch tool, usually less than 1mm in diameter, is used to remove individual hair follicles from the donor area. This process is meticulous and careful, leaving only tiny circular scars that are virtually invisible after healing.

5. Graft Placement

After the follicles are harvested, the next step is to implant them into the recipient area. The surgeon makes small incisions in the scalp, then carefully places each follicle to ensure the most natural look and growth direction. The goal is to mimic the original hair pattern, creating a seamless and natural result.
