Follicular Unit Excision
Restore your hairline and confidence with our minimally invasive excision technique.
Achieve a newer, more enhanced hairline that lasts through advanced follicular unit excision technique.
Pizarro Hair Restoration uses proven techniques to ensure safe and minimally-invasive hair restoration. We employ follicular unit excision (FUE)—a natural, scar-free extraction technique to transplant hair follicles to thinning scalp areas. We have performed hundreds of successful procedures and empowered individuals through the use of this advanced technology.
Benefits of Follicular Unit Excision
At Pizarro Hair Restoration, we only employ the best techniques and strategies to restore your hair. Here’s why we believe the FUE technique will effectively enhance the results of your hair restoration:
1.Natural-Looking Results
FUE is an extraction technique that ensures careful transplanting of hair follicles to the thinning scalp area. This careful process ensures that your new hair blends seamlessly with your existing hair and creates a natural look.
2. No Linear Scarring
Unlike traditional hair restoration techniques, FUE entirely prevents linear scarring. After an FUE procedure, you can wear your hair in shorter styles without worrying about any visible signs of the procedure, allowing for greater confidence in your renewed hair.
3. Minimally Invasive with Quicker Recovery
FUE is a minimally invasive procedure that doesn't require large incisions or stitches. It offers a more comfortable experience with reduced swelling and pain. Its recovery time is faster than other methods, so you can immediately return to your daily routine.
4.Personalized Treatment
Recognizing that every person's hair loss pattern is unique, FUE ensures a more tailored treatment. With FUE, our specialist will consider factors like hair type, color, density, and loss pattern to create a personalized plan that meets your needs and expectations.
What Happens During the Procedure
Whether your hair is thinning or starting to go completely bald, Pizarro Hair Restoration offers the latest and proven solutions tailored to your needs. Here’s how we’ll help you create your dream hairline through FUE:
1. Preparation and Shaving of the Donor Area
Our hair restoration specialists will carefully select the donor area, usually from the back or sides of the head, where hair growth is most robust. We will trim the hair in this area to provide our surgeon with better visibility and access to individual follicles. This step ensures precision during extraction and helps minimize damage to the surrounding hair and skin.
2. Administration of Local Anesthesia
To ensure a comfortable experience, our surgeon will administer local anesthesia into the donor and recipient areas to numb the scalp and eliminate any pain during the procedure. You may feel slight pressure, but the process is carefully managed to minimize discomfort.
3. Extraction of Follicular Units
Our surgeon will extract individual follicular units containing one to four strands of hair, each using a specialized punch tool. The tiny holes left behind from this extraction will heal naturally and become nearly invisible over time.
4. Preparation of the Recipient Area
The recipient area will be carefully prepared before creating small incisions that will accommodate the follicular units to be transplanted. Our surgeon will consider your hair's natural growth pattern, angle, and orientation to achieve a realistic and natural result.
5. Transplantation of the Follicles
Our surgeon will carefully place the extracted follicles into the recipient scalp area. The placement is done with extreme care to ensure proper depth, angle, and direction. Our attention to detail ensures a result that looks and feels completely natural.
