If you’re part of the 85% of men or 40% of women grappling with hair loss, you’re familiar with how it can profoundly affect your overall well-being. Beyond the impact on self-esteem, it can also dent your confidence, mood, and social interactions.
New Hair Clinic offers safe and successful solutions for hair restoration for both men and women.
Among our preferred treatments is the follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant. With FUE, we aid in the regrowth of a fuller head of hair, providing results that look entirely natural. This procedure involves harvesting donor hair from healthy areas of your scalp and transplanting it to areas with thinning hair.
Here are six significant advantages that FUE hair transplants offer:
-
Minimal scarring:
Instead of removing large strips of hair that may result in scars, our doctors achieve remarkable results with the WAW hair restoration system. This approach allows for the transplantation of individual hair follicles, ensuring a fuller head of hair without the noticeable linear scars associated with other types of hair transplants. The tiny FUE extraction sites (≤ 1mm) result in scars, if any, that are virtually invisible. No stitches or surgical glue are required as the sites naturally close and heal within days, leaving minimal scarring.
-
Reduced discomfort:
Compared to traditional hair transplants that often entail significant discomfort during scalp healing, FUE involves far less pain. Our team administer long-acting anesthetics to numb your scalp, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure. Most patients typically only need over-the-counter pain relief, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, after treatment. Nearly all patients report being pain-free within 24 hours following the procedure.
-
Enhanced results with healthier hair:
With FUE, the graft survival rate ranges from 95-99%. This means that FUE provides a denser, thicker head of hair. Additionally, because there is less trauma to your hair follicles, you can enjoy a greater proportion of healthy hair during the recovery process.
-
Reduced risk of infection:
While hair transplants are generally safe procedures, there is a potential risk of postoperative infection at the donor or graft site. With FUE, the risk of infection is significantly lower compared to traditional methods, with fewer than 1% of patients experiencing any signs of infection.
-
Swift recovery:
Thanks to the reliability and effectiveness of FUE, you can expect the quickest recovery time possible following a hair transplant. You can resume many of your regular daily activities within one to two days. After a week, you’ll be back to normal, aside from following the post-treatment care and washing instructions as your scalp heals and the transplanted hair grows.
If you’re contemplating a hair transplant, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment online or by phone at New Hair Clinic to explore the numerous benefits of FUE.
