Basic Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant Package

Follicular hair extraction is a surgical minimally invasive procedure to treat male and female baldness.

The operation also helps to make scars and burns on head, beard, eyebrow, and eyelash areas less noticeable.

For the hair transplant, the doctor uses the grain of sand size micro blades.

This method provides fast recovery after the procedure (3-5 days) and helps to avoid scars. That's why FUE is the most popular hair transplant method nowadays.

1. The day before FUE hair transplant, a patient undergoes medical tests. Usually, they are included in the follicular unit extraction cost.
2. A doctor appoints FUE procedure the next day.
3. A patient stays under local or general anesthesia.
4. A doctor accurately takes donor hair from the patient's nape and creates grafts (a set of 3-4 follicles).
5. These grafts are inserted into the hairless area.
6. The admission is not required. A patient can return to a hotel just after FUE operation.

A patient needs to stay in the country where FUE hair transplant was performed for 7 days. During this period, a doctor estimates how recovery goes. Then a patient returns home.

The duration of FUE operation depends on the number of transplanted grafts and the area size of baldness. It can take from 3 to 8 hours.

During the FUE procedure, a patient is under local or general anesthesia.

Follicular Unit Extraction is the most popular option for hair transplant due to:

• strong and healthy follicles are individually selected, so it increases the success rate of operation significantly
• the donor's area heals fast, no scars remain (compared to FUT method)
• FUE method does not damage surrounding tissues or follicles.

FUE procedure is safe when performed by an experienced and qualified surgeon. But the results and the recovery process are very individual.

After the FUE hair transplant, risks of the infection, grafts rejection, and excessive bleeding may occur. Also, there is a hazard of allergic reactions to certain medications.

The average price of FUE hair transplant is $3,150, the minimum cost is $1,000, and the maximum is $11,000.

The FUE method cost is 10-20% higher than FUT hair transplant. But the last technique is older, painful and leaves scarring.
