Numerous hair restoration treatments are currently available, with one of the most popular options being the groundbreaking FUE hair transplant. While many have heard about FUE hair transplants, there is often curiosity surrounding the precise process. Today, we’ll provide you with a detailed walkthrough of our step-by-step FUE hair transplant procedure.
Step 1: Initial Consultation At our Huntsville, AL location, all potential clients are required to visit our clinic for an initial consultation. During this consultation, you will meet with a doctor who will engage in a discussion about your hair loss, collaborate with you to determine the most suitable treatment for achieving natural-looking results, and inquire about your health and any potential future hair loss. This assessment aids in mapping out your hair transplant plan. Additionally, before photos will be taken for your records. Our consultation process serves as a means for us to understand your unique needs and preferences while also offering you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
Step 2: The FUE Hair Transplant Procedure: Following the consultation, your doctor will schedule your treatment, which can span one or two days, depending on the extent of hair transplantation needed. Upon your arrival at the clinic, your doctor will welcome you and escort you to the treatment room, where the FUE hair transplant procedure will commence. The treatment process is divided into distinct steps.
The Treatment: Step 1 – Preparation Upon arrival in the treatment room, our team will prepare both you and the room to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Our treatment rooms are equipped with amenities such as a TV, iPad, and music system to provide entertainment while the treatment takes place. You can select a film or music on the iPad while settling in. Once you are comfortable and prepared, one of our doctors will administer local anesthesia to the scalp, ensuring a pain-free treatment. This anesthesia is applied to the areas where hair will be removed and where it will be transplanted.
The Treatment: Step 2 – Extracting the Donor Hair With you comfortably settled, the treatment begins with the extraction of donor hair, typically located at the back and sides of the scalp, where hair is more abundant. Individual follicles, typically containing 1 to 4 hairs, are extracted using a microsurgical instrument ranging from 0.6mm to 1.0mm in diameter. Once an adequate number of follicles have been removed, they are prepared for transplantation. You can take a break during this time in one of our patient rooms, where you can relax, watch TV, and have lunch.
The Treatment: Step 3 – Transplanting the Hair Follicles Using a specialized microsurgical needle, your doctor punctures the recipient area, which will receive the grafts. The grafts are then inserted at an angle and density that mirrors your original hair, ensuring a natural and realistic hair pattern. All our doctors are experts in ensuring the grafts are placed in the most natural and realistic manner to align with your natural hair.
Step 3: Aftercare Once the procedure is completed, and both you and your doctor are satisfied with the transplant, we will prepare you to leave the clinic. Before you depart, we will provide you with a personalized aftercare plan, including a four-day course of antibiotics to prevent infection and optional medications to reduce post-operative swelling. All necessary medications for your recovery, including a special shampoo, will be prepared and dispensed with comprehensive instructions in your aftercare package, which will be ready for you immediately after your treatment. The FUE hair transplant surgery is associated with minimal post-surgical pain or discomfort, and the average recovery time is less than seven days.
