Follicular unit extraction - FUE What is a hair transplant?

A hair transplant is a procedure in which a plastic or dermatological surgeon moves hair to a bald area of the head. The surgeon usually moves hair from the back or side of the head to the front or top of the head.

Hair transplants typically occur in a medical office under local anesthesia.

The standard treatment of HFE-hemochromatosis is simple, as the body's excess iron is removed by repeated lettings of whole blood (phlebotomy) [63, 64]. It is an effective and low-cost procedure to reduce iron overload and there are few side effects

Hereditary hemochromatosis is a disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron from the diet. The excess iron is stored in the body's tissues and organs, particularly the skin, heart, liver , pancreas , and joints.

The naming of the hemochromatosis gene “HFE” stands for “High Iron.” Fe is iron's chemical symbol, so when you put the H with the FE… you get the HFE gene.

Doctors can treat hereditary hemochromatosis safely and effectively by removing blood from your body (phlebotomy) on a regular basis, just as if you were donating blood. The goal of phlebotomy is to reduce your iron levels to normal.

Grains, beans, nuts, and seeds

All grains, legumes, seeds, and nuts contain phytic acid, or phytate, which reduces iron absorption. Eating foods high in phytates, such as beans, nuts, and whole grains, reduces the absorption of nonheme iron from plant foods. As a result, it may reduce total iron levels in the body.

FUE is a method which was developed after the FUT method had lost its validity. With the FUE hair extraction method, hair follicles are taken from the donor area between the ears with the help of a specially developed micro motor or extraction needle as small as 0,5 – 0,9 mm.

PRP is used for quick healing of the scars and supporting quick hair growth. PRP treatment helps weak hair follicles vulnerable to be loss to gain to be revitalized. In patients to whom a PRP treatment is applied, it has been observed that hair loss is relatively less in the area in the operation areae and the hair grows more strongly. In the hair transplant operation, scars of patients who had PRP support beforehand heal more quickly. After the operation the red spots and scabbed areas disappear quickly and hair growth capacity increases in the area in which the hair is transplanted.

As in all blood laboratories, 10 cc of blood is drawn from the patient to be treated with PRP.

Drawn blood is transferred to a special device in a sterile tube for the purposes of obtaining the platelet rich part of blood.

Blood cells are spun in a centrifuge and the platelet rich cells of the blood is densified.

Platelet rate in PRP can be increased 4-8 times with this procedure. The studies showed that the growth factor of the hair follicles depends on the platelets.

First, anesthesia is applied. Then the PRP liquid is injected into the hair roots. The injection process is painless and takes a short time (2-3 minutes). Patients can then go back to their normal daily lives and there will be no swelling or bruising after this procedure.

People who have seasonal or genetic hair loss or people with thin and weak hair can be treated with PRP.

PRP has three roles in hair transplantation:

PRP liquid contains the patient’s own blood. There is no allergic reaction or infection risk. Principally it is similar to donating your own blood. The effect of PRP treatment can be different for each recipient. PRP treatment has a supplementary effect. The results of treatment will be seen in time after the treatment. This treatment only supports physical healing.

A hair transplant is a procedure that involves transplanting hair follicles from one area of the head (called the “donor area”) to the thinning area (the “recipient area”). Healthy full-size vigorously growing follicles are moved from the donor scalp to thinning areas to increase the density of growing hair.

Below, you can learn more about FUE and FUT, the two primary surgical methods for the excision and transplanting of hair follicles.

Bosley FUE - Hair Transplant Before and After - Edgar S.

The Bosley FUE is a minimally invasive hair transplantation technique in which follicular unit grafts (containing 1 to 4 hair follicles) are individually removed from the patient’s donor area and then individually transplanted to the recipient area. Bosley’s HAIR BY HAIR® FUE restoration technique creates a hairline that looks completely natural and undetectable.

There are no stitches required there is no linear scar. Your donor area will be virtually undetectable within just a few days

Bosley FUT - Hair Transplant Before and After - Josh H.

If you’re just starting your research into hair transplantation, you’re probably wondering about the difference between an FUE and an FUT. While these procedures are similar, and both offer completely natural-looking results, there are some key differences to consider.

For the vast majority of patients, virtually all transplanted hair lasts a lifetime. In some cases, a small percentage of transplanted hair may be lost as the patient ages.

Although patients are administered local anesthetics and other medications, the degree of pain or discomfort experienced during or after the procedure varies according to the patient. We may supply patients with medication to use after the procedure, if needed. Many of our patients find that they do not need to take any medication at all after their hair transplant procedure.

Whenever human skin is cut, it always heals by the process called “fibrosis.” This fibrosis (commonly known as scarring) is the skin’s way of healing. Thanks to the skill of our experienced hair transplant physicians, the healing sites in the transplanted areas are usually so small that the fibrosis is virtually undetectable. The scar in the donor area is covered by your existing hair. The Bosley hair transplantation procedure is designed to produce a very natural look. In the great majority of cases, the micro-technologies currently used at Bosley make the restored hairline virtually undetectable.

The number of procedures necessary to achieve a personally desired goal varies from person to person and the individual degree of hair loss; but in our experience, the great majority of our patients want to have at least two procedures.

Bosley can’t account for the work of others because we don’t know the exact protocols and specific technical variations that are used elsewhere. We can talk to you about Bosley’s own hair transplant procedures and our artistry which emphasizes the natural variations in the texture and color of hair, the angles and directions of hair growth, and the size and shape of grafts. The artistry involved in combining these numerous variations significantly impacts the naturalness of the hair restoration results. Not every physician has the skill or training for this refined technique. Experience matters and Bosley physicians have performed over 300,000 hair restoration procedures. Bosley is the trusted name in hair restoration. You can learn more about the Bosley difference by going to Why Choose Bosley? We invite you to come in to visit with us at no charge.

Pre-existing medical conditions are always a concern of your Bosley doctor. If you have a pre-existing medical condition, please tell your Senior Counselor and/or Bosley Physician at the time of your consultation.
