FUE Hair Transplant in Ann Arbor, MI

Understanding Hair Loss and Restoration

Hair loss affects millions of Americans, with approximately 50 million men and 30 million women experiencing pattern baldness or thinning hair. By the time most individuals recognize hair loss, nearly 50 percent of their hair has already fallen out.

Why Choose FUE Hair Transplant?

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) offers several significant advantages for hair restoration:

• Minimal scarring with pinprick-sized marks
• Faster healing and recovery
• No extended exercise restrictions
• Minimal pain during and after procedure
• Ideal for patients wanting short hair styles

The FUE Hair Transplant Procedure

The FUE hair restoration process involves carefully extracting individual hair follicles from donor areas and strategically transplanting them to areas experiencing hair loss. Our specialized technique ensures natural-looking, permanent results.

Procedure Details

• Procedure duration: 6-8 hours
• Local anesthesia administered
• 400-700 grafts harvested per hour
• Precise follicle placement for natural appearance

Recovery and Results

FUE hair transplant recovery is typically smooth, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort. Transplanted hair begins growing within four months, with continued improvement up to 18 months post-procedure.

Recovery Milestones

• Day 1-2: Minor incisions and small scabs
• 1 Week: Careful scalp washing begins
• 4 Months: Initial hair growth starts
• 5-6 Months: Considerable hair growth visible

Graft Considerations

The number of grafts needed varies based on individual hair loss patterns. Typical restoration involves 2,000 grafts, with goals including creating a natural hairline and increasing hair density.
