FUE and HFE hair transplant

Hair transplantation is a surgical intervention for the transplantation of hair follicles from zones with normal hair growth to problem areas.

What is FUE and HFE hair transplant?

Modern methods have positive feedback and results. Before you make a decision whether to do hair transplantation, it is recommended to try other methods, such as plasmotherapy or mesotherapy of the hairy part of the head. On the one hand, hair transplantation, just like any other transplantation, is a complex procedure, and not every specialist in Kiev can perform it well at a reasonable price.
On the other hand, it is the only solution if other methods of treating alopecia yield no results. It is important to remember that, since the patient’s own hair from the back of the head is used for transplantation, there should be sufficient hair in this part. Although recently techniques have appeared that allow the transplantation not only from the hairy part of the head, but also from other body parts.

Nowadays, not only the cost of the transplantation will be a pleasant surprise, but it will also have the following advantages:

• Painlessness and lack of discomfort;
• Good hair survival thanks to using the materials from the patient’s own body;
• No rehabilitation period or limited ability to work.

Indications to manipulation

• Alopecia (loss of hair) in men and women associated with hormonal disorders;
• Restoration of hair on the head after a burn;
• Alopecia caused by inflammatory processes on the head skin or developing after plastic surgeries;
• Hereditary features such as high front line, limiting the hair growth area, including deep hair loss regions in the frontotemporal area.

Contraindications

• General surgical. As was mentioned above, it is important that there is enough hair for transplantation;
• Compensated diabetes mellitus;

• Any malignant and benign tumors;
• Blood diseases, especially insufficiency of coagulation factors;
• Acute and worsening of chronic diseases;
• Entire pregnancy period up to the end of breastfeeding.

Manipulation process

Hair transplantation is performed under local anesthesia using two techniques: seamless or by sampling flaps.
The former method has positive feedback from surgeons because hair bulbs are taken out of the skin without damaging it. Up to 4,000 grafts can be transplanted at a time (each containing from 1 to 3 hair bulbs).

The second transplantation option is not so up-to-date. There are 1-3 hair bulbs on one flap, and up to 500 grafts are transplanted at a time.
In both cases, the material is sampled after anesthesia; it is then transferred to the problem area and sutured with thin cosmetic stitches.

In our clinic, we use the seamless transplantation method because it is more up-to-date, causes less bleeding and does not leave scars.

How long does a hair transplant take to heal?

From 1 to 3 hours (for flaps) and from 3 to 7 hours (seamless transplantation) depending on the number of skin flaps or extracted bulbs. In case of large alopecia areas, hair transplantation is done in several sessions with a short interval. The patient can go home right after the transplantation. Bandage is applied the day after the manipulation, and it is included in the price of operation at our clinic.

The doctor makes recommendations after the procedure that include a number of simple manipulations for the care of the operation site.

Result of hair transplantation

Hair continues growing for the whole life after transplantation. They take well, and old hair is replaced with new after falling out of the bulb.
