FUE SURGICAL HAIR RESTORATION HUNTSVILLE

FUE Hair Transplants – Huntsville, Alabama

FUE Hair Transplantation (follicular unit extraction) is a popular hair restoration solution for both men and women.  In FUE hair transplants, individual hairs are harvested from the donor area – typically the back of the head – and individually transplanted into the area where the patient is experiencing thinning hair. The result is a totally natural looking hair transplant result without a visible scar line that is typically associated with FUT hair transplantation. 

When the donor hair has been removed, the individual follicles are them microscopically inserted into the scalp in the areas where hair growth is desired. FUE is an ideal procedure for patients that like to wear their hair short and don’t want a visible surgical scar. It can be an especially good choice for men that like hairstyles with the hair cut low or even buzz cut.

Surgery, Recovery, & Results

The average hair transplant procedure lasts from six to eight hours depending upon the patient’s hair type and the hair transplant procedure being performed. A local anesthetic is used, very similar to a numbing agent like that administered by your dentist. During the procedure patients can take periodic breaks. Your comfort is paramount.

When the procedure is done you may experience minor initial discomfort as your recover. Some experience forehead swelling, itching, and tenderness. We provide every patient with comprehensive, easy to understand post-operative written instructions so they understand how to best care for themselves after their surgery. It typically takes most patients about one week to heal after the procedure.

Most patients that undergo hair transplantation often start to see results during the first six months following surgery. We will schedule follow-up appointments for six, 12, and 18 months after your surgery to make sure hair growth is progressing as expected. In most cases, you can expect to see full cosmetic results within 12 to 15 months.
