The Science Behind FUE Hair Transplants

How does the procedure work?

FUE in Toronto uses tiny incisions in scalp regions where hair is denser, often at the back or sides.

Your surgeon will remove micro units of hair follicles and transplant them to the areas where your hair is thin or bald (typically the frontal hairline and crown). These hair follicles are known as grafts. Each graft is carefully extracted and then skillfully implanted. Your surgeon will work closely with you to design a specific re-growth plan that’s tailored to your natural density, angle, and direction of growth.

How is FUE more advanced than previous transplant methods?

Follicular Unit Transplantation

Many surgeons currently use NeoGraft and SmartGraft, which are minimally invasive hair transplant devices. Before the advent of FUE in Toronto, physicians would typically use the strip method (follicular unit transplant, or FUT). This procedure involves removing a strip of scalp from the back of your head to manually dissect individual grafts. The strip method for hair transplant requires a longer recovery and leaves linear scarring. This unavoidable scar can widen under tension or lead to complications like infection. Even when it heals without issue, the long, hairless strip at the back of the head is visible when wearing short hairstyles. This poses a problem for many people who prefer short cuts.

Advanced graft techniques use a tiny, rotary punch to remove grafts measuring less than 1 mm in diameter. The meticulous process is more labour-intensive, but it results in tiny nearly invisible scars and minimal downtime. You can get back to your regular schedule the next day! Because FUE is minimally invasive, there’s also little discomfort and a low risk of complications.

When grafts, also known as hair plugs, were larger in the past, recipient sites sometimes appeared unnatural. Understandably, visible rows of plugs or poorly devised hairlines can make some people wary of choosing a permanent procedure. After all, your hair is quite noticeable, and people will see your result every day. You want to look your best and style your hair without worrying about giving away your hair restoration procedure. The advanced skill and artistry of specialists like Dr. Cory Torgerson mean crafting realistic and flattering results that you can be proud to show off. With the innovations of FUE, you can expect very minimal scars that aren’t readily visible.

Is FUE transplant painful?

The idea of excising hair follicles might make you think that FUE will be painful. Luckily, that is not the case. Hair follicles are removed gently through this microsurgical procedure.

A local anaesthetic is injected to numb the treatment area, and incisions are superficial. You’ll be free to leave after your session and take it easy at home. You’ll have a few restrictions related to hair washing and your exercise routine to ensure that swelling stays minimal and you avoid other complications.

Why is FUE in Toronto the choice for many style-conscious people?

One of the main advantages is that FUE leaves no significant scarring, especially at the back of the head on the donor site. The FUT scar can be quite evident unless the hair is worn long, and even FUE extraction, if not carried out by an expert, could deplete the donor area and leave visible spaces. Therefore, carefully assessing the existing hair density and planning natural-looking extraction is key. If you follow all post-op recovery tips, including applying topical creams to aid with healing, the donor area should heal smoothly in a relatively short period. The tiny punch holes close within just a few days and don’t require any bandaging or stitches. That means that you can style your hair according to your preferences! If FUE is well executed, patients can wear their hair however they would like to, even short or buzzed. Because of visible scarring, these options are not as accessible for patients who undergo the strip method.

Another great thing about FUE is that you can undergo treatment multiple times, ensuring that you get enough volume in each area of hair loss. Older transplant methods can be repeated only a few times, as there just isn’t enough skin on the scalp to work with.

How can I know if I’m a good candidate for FUE in Toronto?

There are always factors to be assessed with your cosmetic surgeon when deciding whether this procedure would help you get the results you’re seeking. It depends on things like how long you’ve been experiencing hair loss, hair density and texture, how old you are, and gender. If you and your surgeon determine that FUE is right for you, you should go into it with realistic expectations of how long your results may take. FUE does not result in instantly full hair. Each of the grafts implanted will need a few months to begin to show growth. Everyone heals differently after a hair transplant, so you’ll need to be extra patient for your full, luscious results. A full head of hair is worth waiting for!

Although plastic surgeons generally agree that FUE is a better choice than FUT for today’s patients, we recommend that you research and ask questions to ensure that you’re clear on their differences.
