Today, most of the people are suffering from acute hair loss problem. FUE hair transplants are one of the more modern methods of surgical hair restoration that you can take advantage of today. What exactly does FUE mean? It stands for Follicular Unit Extraction and can provide much better (almost incredible) cosmetic results when you compare it to the older style of punch graft and strip incision transplants. There's also far less scarring than with any other method.
When you're having a transplant, the area where the hair is taken from is called the donor area. With older methods an entire strip of skin would be cut from the back of your head. This would usually leave a pretty big scar on the back of your head - so short haircuts were out; even if the hair transplant was 100% successful. Even worse these scars can stretch and become a disfiguring feature on the back of your head.
When it comes to hair transplant, FUE is definitely a better choice. The main reasons are:
The older styles of hair transplants such as hair plugs are becoming obsolete very quickly - just because FUE hair transplant has proven to be so successful. Patients have had more than 8,000 hairs transplanted in a single session with this type of hair transplant. That means you have a single hair transplant, heal up and then spend the next 12 months watching all that new hair grow on your head and nobody will be sure how it even happened.
And, is we speak about the cost of this procedure, it depends upon what doctor you go to but the prices range from about $3 - $8 per hair graft (follicular unit). For most individuals, they definitely feel it's worth the investment since a transplant can give you back your own naturally growing hair. But take your time, do your research and really make sure this is the right decision for you.
