Thirdly, 100% of hair loss sufferers are candidates for FUE. Inrepparttar past, hair restoration was not as widely available to every hair loss sufferer as it is today. There were various criteria that each candidate had to meet to be eligible for a hair transplant. Such criteria includedrepparttar 115071 patient’s age, color and texture of hair, skin complexion, amount of donor hair available, and future hair loss projections. However, becauserepparttar 115072 methods involved with follicular unit extraction are so advanced, such criteria are not much of a concern. For example,repparttar 115073 amount of donor hair onrepparttar 115074 head is not an issue when determining candidacy becauserepparttar 115075 procedure allows forrepparttar 115076 extraction of hair from other parts ofrepparttar 115077 body.

Fourthly,repparttar 115078 incidence of complication duringrepparttar 115079 FUE procedure is lower than with other transplantation methods. In a study, published by Dr. Masumi Inaba, of over 150 patients treated with FUE, researchers found that patients suffered only from mild discomfort from sitting still for several hours at a time. Furthermore, only four out ofrepparttar 115080 150 patients experienced donor area shock, while two more patients experienced a more limited variety of patchy circular alopecia (hair loss). Nevertheless, all patients made full recoveries within five weeks.

Lastly, FUE patients recover without visible scars inrepparttar 115081 donor or recipient area. Unlike previous methods, like strip incision, where an unattractive linear scar was exposed inrepparttar 115082 donor area, FUE does not leave ugly, unbearable scars onrepparttar 115083 head. Instead,repparttar 115084 tiny slits that are cut inrepparttar 115085 recipient area are conveniently hidden by new hair. The final result of FUE in all patients is that of a seamless, natural, healthy-looking head of hair.

For all those who are suffering from hair loss and are searching forrepparttar 115086 best method of restoring their youth, follicular unit extraction should be considered. It is a hair restoration method that discardsrepparttar 115087 use ofrepparttar 115088 painful linear donor incision and regards 100% of hair loss patients as proper candidates forrepparttar 115089 procedure. It is widely predicted that withinrepparttar 115090 coming years, follicular unit extraction will make further advancements and becomerepparttar 115091 method of choice for every hair restoration surgeon and patient.
