Hair loss can have an impact not only on your self-esteem but also on your confidence, mood, and social life.
Serving clients in the Tampa, Sarasota, and Fort Myers, Florida, areas at Honest Hair Restoration in Bradenton Myers, a board-certified specialist in hair transplants and the medical director Martin Maag, MD, provides men and women with safe and effective methods for restoring their hair.
A hair transplant using follicular unit extraction (FUE) is one of our favorite treatments. With FUE, we can assist you in regrowing a fuller head of hair and achieving results that look natural.
Donor's hair is moved from healthy areas of your scalp to areas with thinning hair during a hair transplant. At Honest Hair Restoration, we've found that hair transplants done with our ProGrowth Combination FUE and the cutting-edge NeoGraft® technology produce the best results. Our ProGrowth Combination FUE also makes use of the Atera FUE 100 technology.
Take a moment to read about the six main advantages of FUE hair transplants.
1. Virtually no scarring :
Dr. Naveed achieves remarkable results with the Atera FUE-100 hair restoration system instead of removing large hair strips that leave large scars. Dr.Naveed is able to move individual hair follicles with this system, resulting in a fuller head of hair without the large, linear scars that other types of hair transplants leave behind.
We are able to achieve this result because the FUE extraction sites are so small (less than 1 millimeter) that no scars, if any, are visible. The wounds heal on their own within days of treatment, leaving virtually no scars, so you won't need stitches or surgical glue!
2. Less pain Compared:
Less pain Compared to traditional hair transplants, which typically resulted in significant pain as your scalp acclimated to the removal of large strips, FUE involves relatively little discomfort. Long-acting anesthetics are used to numb your scalp by your Honest Hair Restoration provider so you can remain comfortable during your treatment.
The majority of our patients only use over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, to alleviate any discomfort following treatment. Additionally, nearly all of our patients report that they no longer experience pain 24 hours after treatment.
3. Better outcomes:
Better outcomes with healthier hair With FUE, the graft survival rate is 90-95%, while the "strip" method of hair transplantation offers a survival rate of 75%. As a result, FUE results in a thicker, fuller head of hair. Additionally, as your scalp heals, you'll notice that your hair follicles are less damaged, resulting in healthier hair.
4. In general, hair transplants are extremely risk-free procedures.
However, the donor or graft site may contract a postoperative infection using the "strip" method. Compared to conventional treatments, the risk of infection is much lower with FUE, with less than one percent of patients showing signs of infection.
5. With an FUE hair transplant:
Dermatologists and our team of grafting specialists can perform your procedure in our cutting-edge office without the need for general anesthesia. Additionally, this minimally invasive treatment does not necessitate general anesthesia, allowing you to return home after treatment. You can even get to and from your appointment by car.
6. The quickest recovery possible:
With dependable and efficient FUE, your hair transplant recovery will be as quick as possible. Within one to two days, you should be able to resume most of your normal daily activities. In addition, you will be back to normal after a week, with the exception of following the post-treatment washing and care instructions as your scalp heals and the transplanted hair grows.
