Applications and contraindications for hair transplantation

Alopecia of different types is the main reason to undergo this procedure. Hair transplantation is considered a primary option for hair loss tied to hormonal shifts and inherited factors.

Important!

If hair loss happens because of skin damage (wounds, burns, etc.), the procedure’s success rate may go down since scar tissue can affect the outcome.

The following are contraindications for the procedure:

• Scalp diseases or abnormal growths
• Blood clotting issues
• Autoimmune alopecia
• Diabetes

Please remember that in challenging clinical situations, your doctor makes the final call on whether the procedure is suitable. You can arrange an online consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon by submitting a request through the feedback form. A UAMEDTOURS coordinator will reach out soon to help you locate a specialist.

FUE hair transplant: How the procedure works

The core process involves transferring hair grafts (follicle plus hair shaft) from donor spots to the balding area. On average, this takes anywhere from 90 minutes up to 4 hours (depending on the complexity). Local anesthesia is used. Once the procedure is over, the transplanted region is protected with a special bandage. During the first 7–10 days afterward, the scalp heals, which can involve itching and mild discomfort, but these are typically the only aftereffects patients encounter.

The procedure is carried out on the scalp.

There are 3 main ways to perform a FUE transplant.

1) Classic FUE transplant

This is the most economical method.

The donor area is trimmed to about 1 mm of hair length. Using a binocular microscope, the doctor uses a round scalpel to puncture the skin and remove follicular units. These grafts are then rinsed in saline and placed into the transplant area. Typically, up to three grafts can be taken per puncture, which can lengthen the procedure.

2) Sapphire FUE transplantation

This is a more modern variation. The doctor collects grafts with a V-shaped scalpel made from a specific alloy. The V-shaped blade gently opens the follicle bed, reducing harm to skin and vessels. The outcome is a shorter recovery period and a higher success rate for grafts. This technique also works well for those with thinner skin and is therefore popular for addressing female hair loss.

The general approach stays the same—multiple punctures are made, and follicles are moved from donor areas to balding spots.

3) Implanter Pen FUE

This is the most advanced, efficient, and more expensive form of FUE hair transplant.

Several applicators with blades of different diameters are used. Up to ten hair grafts can fit into one applicator for each puncture, significantly speeding up the process.

With different blade sizes, doctors can extract hairs of varying thickness and achieve a more natural hairline. The Implanter Pen FUE method is excellent for eyebrows, beards, sideburns, and for creating a lower forehead hairline.
