FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT IN MELBOURNE

With the FUE procedure being meticulous, the treatment may take an entire day per session. The session is managed in a way that allows for comfort breaks when needed, for both you and the physician and their team.

Depending on the area you need covered, the number of sessions will be personalised for you. On average, your aesthetician can work on 2400 grafts per session. If you need a wide area treated, your sessions will range over a couple of months.

The procedure is minimally invasive and can cause mild discomfort. You may also feel a stinging sensation each time the anesthetic injections are administered. If you experience headaches, we can provide analgesia to help counter the pain.

You may notice some bruising on the forehead after the procedure to restore hair loss due to the anesthetics injected. The bruising may last about a week. Swelling is yet another after-effect of the procedure that subsides over time. This is more common in cases where a large area has been treated.

There may also be some mind spotting or bleeding at the site of harvesting or implantation, which will last a few days. The bleeding or spotting can also occur if the scalp is picked at or rubbed during a shower. You may also experience some crusting and shedding at the treated site for a couple of weeks after the procedure, which resolves over the weeks.

You can resume work the day after your procedure. However, you may need to wear a cap or a scarf for a couple of days since the skin at the treated area may turn pink for a couple of days

The grafts need no special care. However, it is advisable to avoid vigorous activities like sports to keep the grafts from knocking off. Further, washing your scalp is advised but not by rubbing the scalp. You can also gently comb the hair the day after your procedure if needed.

Before beginning treatment, your hair transplant clinic in Melbourne will make you aware of the possible risks and side-effects and the list of dos and don’ts for better recovery.

Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE, involves transplanting follicles from different areas of your head to the area where thinning is most prominent. FUE is both effective and permanent.

While both FUT and FUE are effective treatment options, FUT is recommended more often for the fullness and coverage it provides. It is also a great option for those suffering from thinning or balding at the crown area.

A 2000 graft FUE procedure  can cost anywhere between $8000 to $20,000. The cost will depend on several factors, from the expertise of the surgeon to the clinic’s location.

Hair transplants are permanent. Once you have undergone an FUE transplant, the chances of hair falling out is extremely low because the follicles are harvested from areas like the sides and back of your head. While thinning is possible over time, the hair will not completely fall out or leave you balding.

A shaved head makes it easier for the practitioners to correctly position the FUE instrument to remove the grafts.

The cost of an FUE transplant can range anywhere from $4000 to $20000 per session. Depending on your goals, we may recommend multiple sessions. The cost will vary depending on the number of sessions, the expertise of the practitioner, and more.

FUE is a hair transplant method that is the least invasive compared to other traditional methods. It leaves behind no major scarring and needs no stitches. It is also highly recommended by a number of doctors and hair transplant specialists.

A hair transplant procedure will not cause any change to your hair colour. However, any greying occurring at the donor area over time will also mean greying in the recipient area.

FUE causes no linier scarring and is relatively safer than other methods of hair transplantation.

Waiting for about a month after your FUE procedure is recommended if you’re intending to get a haircut. Our practitioners will be able to provide a detailed guide of dos and don’ts that you can refer to after your FUE hair transplant.
