Female FUE Hair Transplant
Understanding Female Hair Loss Causes
Female hair loss often has familial roots, but various other factors can contribute to this issue:
- Hormonal changes related to pregnancy or aging
- Symptoms of post-partum or post-menopausal stages
- Medications used for thyroid conditions or other purposes
- Stress and depression
- Trauma from different surgical procedures
- Dietary factors, including crash diets, nutrient deficiencies, or bulimia
- Tension caused by hairstyles that exert strong pressure on the hair
At the Este Medical Group, we offer private and professional hair transplant procedures tailored to address the specific causes of hair loss in women.
Our Sapphire Hair Transplant Technique
Introducing the Sapphire Hair Transplant Technique
Este Medical Group is committed to delivering high-quality treatments with enduring results. That’s why we’ve adopted the Sapphire Hair Transplant technique, a highly effective and minimally invasive surgical procedure. This method employs an innovative medical device to achieve the best FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) results.
In this process, special V-shaped sapphire blades are used to create V-shaped canals across the scalp, resulting in smaller incisions and less damage to the skin. The advantages of this technique include:
- Reduced pain during and after the procedure
- Lower risk of infection
- Minimized risk of rebleeding
- Superior visible results
- No noticeable scarring
With this method, the channels for hair follicles can be finer, leading to less bleeding and scabbing. After carefully collecting and storing the grafts, our surgeon artistically places them in a way that appears and feels natural. FUE leaves minimal scars and avoids the noticeable linear scars associated with the FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) technique.
What Sets FUE Apart as the Most Successful Technique?
Non-Invasive
The extraction of hair follicles and surrounding tissue is achieved using a punch device ranging from 0.7mm to 1.0mm, leaving no wounds or scars. This painless and comfortable treatment is delivered by our specialists.
No Linear Scarring
Unlike other hair transplant techniques, FUE leaves no wound closures or linear scarring. You can confidently wear short hairstyles without concerns.
Short Recovery Time
Compared to other invasive methods, FUE offers a shorter recovery period. You can return to work and your daily routine quickly, with minimal discomfort at our hair transplantation clinic.
Diverse Donor Supply
FUE provides flexibility in donor supply, as hair can be sourced from multiple areas on the body, such as the chest, arms, and legs.
Optimal Hair Distribution
Our hair transplant clinic can identify and select fine single hair follicles ideal for the hairline, as well as thicker follicles for other areas on the scalp.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A hair transplant might not be the ideal solution for your specific type of female hair loss. That’s why we offer alternative non-surgical hair loss treatments that can sometimes be more suitable. For instance, if you’re experiencing mild hair thinning, Laser Hair Re-growth treatment could be a better option. If you’d like to learn more about our hair loss treatments for women, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your nearest UK clinic.
You can tie your hair up immediately after the procedure. However, it’s recommended to wait for 2 weeks before using heat products like straighteners, hair dryers, and curlers. Hair spray should not be used for 4 weeks post-treatment, as it can block pores and lead to ingrown hairs. For further information, we will provide detailed guidance during your consultation at your nearest UK clinic.
At Este Medical Group, our commitment to your well-being extends beyond the initial treatment. We provide high-quality ongoing aftercare to ensure the best possible results. This includes post-transplant washing by our specialist team to prevent infection or hair follicle loss. Additionally, Laser Hair Growth treatment is recommended for one month after the transplant to stimulate rapid hair growth, both for new and existing hair. We will discuss these post-surgery care details in-depth during your consultation at your nearest UK clinic.
It typically takes 6-12 months for the transplanted hairs to grow in thick. The exact duration to match your current hair depends on your current hair length and how quickly your hair grows. Further details can be discussed during your consultation at your nearest UK clinic.
You can typically return to work within 2-5 days after the operation. Around 2 to 3 weeks post-surgery, the transplanted hair follicles will fall out. However, you should start noticing new hair growth within a few months, which is permanent. The general healing period takes approximately 5-10 days for redness and swelling to subside. Whether you choose to take additional time off work is up to you.
Common, temporary side effects of a hair transplant include a tight, achy, swollen scalp and scabbing around the transplanted hairs. There is also a small risk of bleeding on the scalp, infection, or an allergic reaction to the anesthetic.
Our pricing depends on the number of grafts needed, ensuring transparency without hidden costs. The cost is determined by the transplantation area and the extent of hair loss. We also offer accommodation and transfers. To discuss our pricing further, please book a consultation or contact us directly.
