What is the process of a FUE hair transplant?
One’s FUE hair transplant in Delhi journey involves the following at Delhi Wellness Clinics:
1. Initial consultation- A detailed first meeting with a specialist hair transplant doctor is essential to perform a thorough scalp and hair examination, review the patient’s medical history and health status, and confirm the eligibility of the patient. If the patient is a good candidate for an FUE hair transplant, next, the patient needs to get ready for the day of the surgery as per the surgeon’s instructions.
2. The surgery- Before commencing the surgical process, the patient’s scalp is numbed with local anaesthesia. Local anaesthesia injections are administered into both the donor and recipient areas. Once the anaesthesia takes effect following steps are performed by the surgeon:
3. Preparation of the donor site- The patient’s entire head is shaved to a buzz cut so that it's easier to harvest individual follicular units.
4. Harvesting of donor grafts- This is done with the help of a special tool called a micro-punch device which can create micro incisions around the graft. When the required number of follicular units are removed from the donor site, the surgeon leaves the incisions to naturally heal.
5. Preparation of the recipient site- Simultaneously, as the donor grafts are collected, the surgeon creates very small incisions using a sharp tool in the recipient area.
6. Implantation of the donor hair grafts- The surgeon places the donor hair grafts one by one into the holes of the recipient area at right angles, ensuring proper distribution of the hair grafts and aesthetically appealing, realistic results.
7. After treatment- Following FUE hair transplant surgery, the patient needs to patiently wait for 6-12 months to notice their head full of healthy hair. Initially, scabs form at the transplant site which helps secure the placed hair grafts. After 2-3 months of the surgery, the patient can expect shock hair shedding. Further, new, strong hair grows in place of the transplanted hair and with proper care, new hair grows longer just like natural existing hair. Depending on the patient’s hair growth progress during the recovery period, sometimes there may be a need for a second hair transplant surgery.
