FUE - Follicular Unit Extraction France

It consists in harvesting, using a punch (0.8 mm), at the occipital and temporal donor area, the follicular units to be transplanted directly into the bald area to be treated. Although the quality of the graft is directly dependent follicular operator. Improvements on the instrumentation have increased the speed of withdrawal and significantly reduce the loss of follicular units. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Before, marking pencil can delineate the bald and hairy treat to take zone. The harvesting area is shaved maintaining a millimeter in length. On average a surface area of ??100 cm2 (20x5cm) allows the removal of follicular units 500 to 1000. The patient is positioned lying face down. The head is placed on a suitable pad open at the face to ensure adequate comfort. The follicular units are extracted one by one using micro-instruments The grafts are controlled to ensure their quality and then stored in ice-cold saline before being relocated. Average 500 to 1000 follicular units are taken in 2 to 4 hours. Each follicular unit contains 2-3 hair. 500 follicular units correspond to a quantity of 1000 hair and 1000 hair follicular units correspond to 2000 hair. After harvesting all follicular units, the patient is semi-sitting. The implantation of follicular units is performed using an implanter of Choi. This allows the collection of micro-slits of the graft while introducing at the same time. After surgery, you remain in monitoring one to two hours in a room. Allow a person to return to your home or we will reserve the same day a taxi.

The scalp is not shaved previously. Long hairs are harvested with a strip followed by a special "trichophytic closure" which allows an undetectable linear scar.Long hair implanted may fall 15 days after the session and have a complete and definitive regrowth 6 to 9 months later. In that way the patient and the surgeon have with this technique an immediate preview of the result. 4000 hairs may be transplanted in 1 session. Hairs are not shaved like in the conventional FUT technique but the progress is almost the same.The "wait and see" is replaced by the "see and wait", the donor area is not shaved and patient scabs of the recipient are hidden by the long hair.
