FUE Hair Transplant: How Much Time Will It Take to Yield Results.

FUE or Follicular Unit Excision is a popular and effective solution available to people suffering from hair loss. It involves leveraging pre-established surgical techniques and methodologies, and it also boasts a success rate of 98%. In other words, this particular process has returned the confidence of millions of individuals spread throughout the world. There’s a catch, though. The results are incredible, but they don’t come immediately. So, if you get the procedure conducted today, you won’t get long-lasting results until 6 to 12 months. In any case, this write-up deserves your attention if you’re willing to opt for this procedure.

About FUE: FUE Hair Transplant is a regular procedure that takes place at Winika Clinics. The procedure primarily involves harvesting the follicles individually from a specific area of the head. Once harvested, the surgeon will transplant them into the balding or thinning zone. Surgeons can replace almost 4,000 follicles in one session based on the amount lost. As you can probably guess, the procedure is meticulous and takes an entire day to complete. Compared to other options, the scarring is minimal.


The difference: There’s another recognized procedure other than FUE Hair Transplant. It’s Follicular Unit Transplant or FUT. This particular procedure doesn’t cost as much as the previous one, but it doesn’t deliver more cosmetically enhanced results, either. FUT even creates more scars. When a surgeon conducts FUT, they remove a strip of the patient’s locks. After that, they suture the scalp with a trichophytic closure to reduce scarring and facilitate the growth of the strands through the scarred tissues.


The results: FUT is an effective alternative that’s cheaper and doesn’t take too much time. Instead of extracting the follicles one after the other, the surgeon will remove a portion of the skin surgically. This section of the skin contains all the follicles needed. Then, they’ll use a trichophytic closure to suture the donor area of the patient’s scalp. As a result, there’ll be little to no scarring at all. You already know how long it takes for the previous technique to yield results. FUT, however, will deliver the desired outcome much faster.


After the procedure: Once the surgery is complete, you should be able to see the implanted follicles. You’ll also experience a bit of swelling, soreness, and scabbing. If you opt for FUE, these setbacks will be smaller, and they’ll heal much faster. The clinic that conducts the process will provide you with specific guidelines you have to follow as aftercare. You have to change the way you sleep and bathe. You may even have to remain indoors for some time to recover.


Final words.


New strands should begin to appear within 5 to 6 months after the procedure. At 8 to 10 months, you’ll start to grow long and thick locks because the follicles will become mature by then. Within the 12th month, you’ll get the most visible results, but for some people, it can take up to 18 months. The texture and colour of the strands will keep developing and changing after this point. Every person is different. Understandably, they experience different hair growth rates.
