FUE Hair Transplantation<\/span><\/span><\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

FUE – Follicular Unit Extraction – is a revolutionary hair transplantation technique where each hair follicle is taken individually from scattered points in the donor area. The grafts are transplanted in the thinning or bald area giving the patient a completely natural result. The operation is minimally invasive with quick recovery time and leaves no linear scars.<\/p>\n

Follicular Unit Extraction<\/strong><\/h2>\n

FUE is an innovative Hair Transplantation technique that delivers outstanding results. During this surgical procedure, each Follicular Unit is extracted individually from the donor area and transferred to the recipient area giving the patient a perfectly natural outcome. The surgery is minimally invasive, offering patients the benefit of short recovery time as well as the absence of any linear scars.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

The history of FUE.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Modern hair transplant was introduced in 1950 by Dr. Orentreich. Using a 4 mm round punch, he removed groups of follicular units from the back and the sides of the scalp (where the hair is permanent) and transplanted them in areas with hair loss. The Follicular Unit concept is fundamental in advanced hair transplantation techniques.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

What are Follicular Units?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Follicular Unit (FU) is the basis of modern hair transplantation. FUs are individual anatomical units in a formation of one, two, three, four, or more hair follicles on the human scalp. In the microphotograph, you can see a Follicular Unit.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

There are two ways to extract hair transplants from the donor area.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Strip method<\/strong><\/h3>\n

According to the Strip method, also known as Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), donor harvesting is done by removing an elliptical section of the skin from the back of the head. After the incision, the surgeon performs suturing. The Strip method has the significant disadvantage of causing linear scars on the back of the head, and there is also a high probability of post-operative pain and discomfort for the patient.<\/p>\n

FUE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

According to this technique, the doctor uses a tool known as a punch and makes a small circular incision on the skin around each Follicular Unit (FU), thus separating it from the surrounding tissue. The FU is then extracted immediately using a pair of properly designed forceps. FUE is performed using innovative specialised tools, both manual and automated. The main advantage of this technique is that wounds in the donor area are completely healed within a period of 7 to 10 days. Harvesting of the Follicular Units is repeated until the surgeon collects the desired number of grafts. The duration of the procedure varies from person to person and depends on the adequate number of hair follicles. Although most cases can be completed in one day, in some cases, two consecutive day sessions may be needed. The extensive experience of Dr. Zontos in implementing cutting-edge transplantation techniques, alongside the use of advanced technology, ensures the highest quality of the transplant and the best outcome for the patient.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Discover all the benefits of FUE.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

FUE is an innovative Hair Transplantation Method that is an ideal choice for everyone but especially for:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Patients interested in a minimally invasive procedure.<\/li>\n
  • Patients with very short hair that do not want a visible scar from the Strip method.<\/li>\n
  • Eyebrow transplantation<\/li>\n
  • Covering old scars.<\/li>\n
  • Transplantation on hard skin, usually from previous Strip procedures.<\/li>\n
  • Avoiding the development of keloids.<\/li>\n
  • Overcoming the problem of restricted donor area due to previous Strip procedures.<\/li>\n
  • Patients afraid of the Strip method.<\/li>\n
  • Patients with insufficient donor area have the option of Body Hair FUE.<\/li>\n
  • Athletes who want a quick recovery.<\/li>\n
  • Cases of corrective procedures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The FUE procedure can be performed by the doctor, either with a manual tool or with the use of a specialized mechanical tool. The use of the ARTAS robotic system has recently started. The healing process is very fast, as shown in the pictures.<\/p>\n

    The spectacular part of the method is that the wounds in the donor area heal completely over a period of 7 to 10 days. The hair follicle extraction procedure is repeated until the surgeon collects the desired number of implants.<\/p>\n

    The duration of the procedure varies from person to person and depends on the total number of hairs required. Although most cases can be completed in one day, in some cases continuous sessions for two or three days may be needed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

    The specialised anaesthesia system Wand Computer<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Dr. Zontos uses the Wand Computer anaesthesia system at his Clinic as it is the most effective and safest way of anaesthetising the skin during a hair transplantation procedure.The innovative digital platform of the Wand Computer system significantly increases patient comfort, reduces stress, and effectively controls the flow, rate, and dose of anaesthesia during the surgical procedure.The benefits of the Wand Computer anaesthesia system include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Increased patient comfort<\/li>\n
    • Significantly reduces stress<\/li>\n
    • Controls the flow rate of anaesthesia<\/li>\n
    • Controls the pressure of anaesthetic<\/li>\n
    • Accurate aspiration<\/li>\n
    • Minimises pain during the process of anaesthesia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
