Follicular unit extraction, also known as FUE transplants, is done when individual hair follicles are removed from the skin and implanted on a different part of the body. This procedure can make new hair look thicker and healthier.
A FUE hair transplant in Philadelphia replaces the classic follicular unit transplant. This procedure was performed by removing a strip of skin or scalp along with the follicles and then transplanting the skin to the target area. A FUE hair transplant in Philadelphia is a more popular procedure because it reduces the hair plug look where a section of skin does not match the surrounding skin. With an FUE hair transplant in Philadelphia, a person is not left with the same type of scar they are left with with a FUT procedure.
A good candidate for a hair transplant is a person with thinning hair or who is balding but has sufficient donor hair nearby that can be used for the transplant. If a person does not have enough thick or healthy hair to transplant, this procedure might not be right for them.
During the hair transplant procedure, a micro punch will remove hair follicles from the skin. Your surgeon will then make several tiny incisions with a needle or other small sharp tool to insert the extracted follicles. The surgical area will be cleaned and bandaged for recovery.
