FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT LONDON
FUE hair transplant
in London is one of the modern procedures, which bald people
mostly undergo who have a desire for a charming look along with scalp hair.
This is a minimally invasive procedure of restoration that requires skill and
precision to have the best consequences. The other procedure is FUT (Follicular
Unit Transplant) in which the surgeon removes the entire strip from the
backside of a person's scalp, called the donor site. This strip of hair is then
cut in one go and then distributed into the individual follicles. These are
then grafted where there are few follicles, called the recipient site. This
leaves a noticeable and very distinctive lateral scar on the posterior side of
the head. Further FUT also takes much more time to heal than FUE. Thus, FUE is
preferable to undergo than FUT.
FUE
hair transplant in London can be performed by
using extraction of follicles from the donor site of the head, usually the
backside of the head. Before starting the procedure, the surgeon usually gives
local anaesthesia to the scalp, to avoid the pain during surgery. After this,
the surgeon removes follicles using microsurgical instruments. These extracted
follicles are separated. Physicians then use special surgical microneedles,
make micro-sized holes in the scalp, and then engrave the extracted follicles.
The scalp may also feel tight due to 3-4 hours surgery but soon returns to
normal after a few times. Taking paracetamol will help in bringing it to the
normal condition. The scalp may also show swelling for some days. The operated
site may also appear slightly pinker than the surrounding for a few days but
this will be normalized soon. The transplanted hair usually falls within a week
due to thermal shock. They will then re-grow from the root, will have fast
growth and have a natural look after 3 months of treatment. The surgeon should
be skilled enough to have an idea about inserting grafts at a suitable angle
and the density that should match the original hair. Usually, the physicians
performing FUE procedure are expert in this skill and therefore no need to
worry about undergoing the treatment in this city.
FUE hair transplant in London, undergone by the expert and skilled surgeon leaves no linear
or typical scars compared to the follicular unit transplant which leaves a
linear scar due to strip extraction. FUE can be performed in either one long
session or multiple small sessions. The length of the time depends on the
number of grafts. A smaller session of 200 grafts needed, can be done in just a
few hours but, for the larger procedure where 2,500 to 3,000 grafts are
required, may need a session that will complete in 24-48 hours. As the
individual follicles are removed, the small puncture scars are left only which
are usually invisible to the naked eye. Further, there are rare chances of
having discomfort or post-surgical pain. The treated person usually recovers in
less than 7 days. Although FUE is a more time-consuming procedure than FUT due
to the little probability of linear scarring, the person mostly prefers to have
an FUE kind of treatment.
FUE hair transplant in London costs varies, depending on many factors which include the complexity of and the number of grafts to be transplanted to achieve the results which the patient wants. While planning the procedure, the risk of further shedding is present. Moreover, the price also depends on the loss and how many grafts to be moved. For a person having moderate loss, the price ranges from £3,000 to £8,000. But if the loss is more, then it may cost £5,000 to £15,000. A person should be eligible to have a follicular unit extraction procedure if he has realistic expectations and donor area. Some factors like colour, texture, waviness or curliness and some other factors are considered for eligibility. Those having a similar hair and scalp colour are suitable persons. Similarly, persons having greater density and thickness are suitable as thickness determines success. Considering the texture feature, individuals having curly or wavy hair are preferred. Scalp laxity or flexibility is also one of the most important characteristics to regard the person eligible for this procedure. It is more difficult to remove the follicles from the person with a tight scalp than with a loose or less flexible scalp. There is a recent trend as many people from London travel abroad for maximum coverage of baldness at
a reasonable price. There are many cheap Fue hair transplant clinics abroad where patients are getting this procedure at a reasonable budget like £ 1000 to £ 1500 without compromising the quality of the procedure.
