Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a hair transplant technique where individual follicular units (hair follicles containing one or more hairs) are extracted from the donor area (typically the back of the head) and transplanted to the recipient area (where hair is thinning).Procedure:- The surgeon numbs the donor and recipient areas.- Tiny punches (0.8-1.0 mm) are used to extract individual follicular units.- Small incisions are made in the recipient area.- The extracted follicular units are carefully inserted into these incisions.Benefits: Natural-looking results, Minimal scarring, Suitable for patients with short hair, and No linear scar.Disadvantages:- Can be time-consuming and expensive.- May require multiple sessions.- Potential for hypopigmentation (lightened spots) in the donor area.Candidates:Patients with stable hair loss, Good donor hair quality, and Realistic expectations.Recovery:- Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.- New hair growth is typically visible within 6-12 months.Note: FUE is a surgical procedure and should be performed by a qualified surgeon. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if FUE is the right hair transplant technique for you. Follicular unit extraction involves the harvesting, performed under local anaesthetic, of individual hair follicles from the donor site at the back of the head using a tiny 0.8 - 1mm punch which creates an incision around the top of the follicle and extracts them directly from the scalp.CHAPTERS:Intro - 00:00Rick Da Don - 00:00What Made Me Do It? - 00:45Go to Turkey? - 02:11What I Paid - 03:41Why Hair Loss Happens - 04:17The Fake Solutions- 04:46How to Find a Surgeon - 06:17FUT vs. FUE - 06:41How Long Is the Procedure - 08:40The Numbing Process - 10:48Let's Talk Hair Grafts - 13:49The Three Step Process - 17:16The Toughest Part - 21:21Finally! - 25:55What Happens Next - 26:52The Pre-Treatment Shave- 28:17Shedding - 29:51How Long Until Full Growth - 31:15How to Sleep - 32:45Keeping the Site Clean - 34:36Managing Pain - 39:10How to Ensure Your Grafts Live - 44:46How to Keep New Growth- 45:37What Things to Avoid - 54:33The Healing Timeline - 55:24A Graft's Life - 57:21Back to Reality - 59:00Have Questions? - 01:01:13KEYWORDS & TOPICS COVERED:1.
