Hair Transplantation with FUE Technique

What is FUE Hair Transplantation?

FUE Technique (Follicular Unit Extraction), used in hair transplantation, is the process of taking hair follicles one by one from the nape or other hairy parts of the body (such as chest, back) with very thin special needles (punch) of 0.7-1 mm without any surgical cutting. is the name. The most visible difference from the other method, namely the FUT method, is that there is no suture scar on the neck and the healing occurs more quickly. The FUE technique is applied as an effective solution-providing alternative, especially in people with insufficient donor area flexibility.

One of the most obvious differences between the FUE Technique and the FUT Technique is the way the hair follicles are taken. The planting phase is the same as in the FUT technique. In terms of results, both methods are healthy and effective.
