Hair Transplant

FUE hair transplantation is intended primarily for patients who suffer from androgenetic alopecia. This problem mainly affects men, but is also increasingly observed on women. It is the source of many complexes, and even depression and withdrawal from social life. It is very important that Patients with androgenetic alopecia learn the cause of hair loss and eliminate it. The FUE transplant leaves virtually no scars on the skin, which is why it works well for people who want to wear short hairstyles. Specialists also recommend the FUE technique in patients with scars, because it allows transplantation of hair follicles and covering unsightly changes.

FUE hair transplant is used to stop hair follicles from falling out and to supplement them in both women and men. The technique is used in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia in the case of people who want to thicken their hair and get rid of problematic bends. Due to the fact that this procedure is not very invasive, it can be performed in patients of any age group. An indication for FUE hair transplantation is also the desire to thicken the hair in a safe way, which will not interfere with the patient’s body too much. FUE transplant is also used in people who have lost a large part of their hair as a result of an accident or injury. This technique is often chosen by patients with an active lifestyle due to the short recovery time.

However, it is worth remembering that hair transplantation is a procedure that is not performed in patients with advanced diabetes, scalp inflammation, coagulation disorders and unregulated blood pressure. The doctor will also advise against FUE transplantation in the case of pregnant women and during breastfeeding. Contraindications also apply to taking anticoagulants and active skin lesions in the treated areas.

FUE hair transplantation also precedes the treatment of alopecia, as the procedure itself is not a way to combat the cause of hair loss. That is why pre-transplant qualification is so important, especially in patients who are struggling with some diseases. Contraindications also include neoplastic diseases, skin inflammation, hormonal disorders and extensive baldness. The final decision is made by the doctor based on the interview and test results.

Patients must be careful about the transplant site during the first 2 weeks after the procedure. This will avoid damage to the implanted hair follicles. Sometimes, for 3-4 days after the treatment, the skin may experience a slight swelling or hair loss after 1-2 months. However, these are not a cause for concern, but a natural body response that will subside on its own.

Convalescence after the procedure does not take long – you can return to your daily activities on the second day. However, small scabs or redness may remain on the skin up to 2 weeks after the transplant. It is very important that patients protect the treated area with a hood or a non-compressive cap. It is recommended to avoid excessive rubbing of the scalp as it can significantly weaken the transplanted follicles. The skin must be washed with gentle movements and non-allergenic preparations recommended by the doctor. Within a few weeks after the transplant, it is also recommended to refrain from intense physical activity, use of the sauna and swimming pool.
