FUE Hair Transplant in Freehold, NJ

Benefits of FUE Hair Restoration

Minimally Invasive Technique

Unlike traditional methods, FUE requires no incisions or sutures, significantly reducing the procedure’s invasiveness. This approach minimizes discomfort and facilitates a quicker recovery, allowing patients to resume their normal activities sooner.

No Linear Scarring

One of the hallmark advantages of FUE is the absence of linear scarring. Each follicle is extracted individually, leaving only tiny, dot-like scars virtually undetectable, even with short hairstyles.

Natural-Looking Results

FUE hair transplants are designed to mimic the natural growth patterns of your hair. Precision in follicle placement ensures that the final appearance looks natural, blending seamlessly with your existing hair.

Reduced Recovery Time

The procedure’s minimally invasive nature leads to a significantly reduced recovery time. Patients can often return to their daily routines within a few days, with minimal post-operative care requirements.

High Success Rate

FUE boasts a high success rate, with transplanted hair follicles establishing themselves successfully in the new location. This leads to permanent hair growth that revitalizes the scalp’s appearance.

Versatile Donor Sites

This technique allows for extracting hair follicles from various body parts, not limited to the scalp. It opens possibilities for patients with limited hair density in traditional donor areas.

Customizable Results

FUE offers the flexibility to achieve a range of aesthetic goals, from filling in thinning areas to creating a more defined hairline. The precision of the procedure allows for tailored outcomes.

Suitable for Active Lifestyles

Post-procedure, patients face fewer restrictions and can quickly return to physical activities. This benefit is particularly appealing for those leading active, dynamic lifestyles.

Risks and Side Effects of FUE Hair Transplantation

While hair transplantation is a relatively safe procedure with few complications, it is good to be aware of potential risks. The most common side effects are minor, such as pain, itching at both the donor and transplanted sites, and pinpoint white scars in the donor area. Less common side effects may include:

• Localized infections in both the donor and transplanted sites
• Folliculitis – an inflammation of the hair follicles caused by an infection
• Swelling
• Feeling faint
• Shock loss – when some of the transplanted hair temporarily falls out, and will regrow back

Candidates for FUE Hair Transplants

The main advantage of the FUE hair transplantation technique is that it does not leave a horizontal scar on the back of your head. Therefore, if you prefer to cut your hair short, you are a suitable candidate for FUE hair transplants, as it gives you the freedom to shorten the hair on the backside of your head. If you are healthy and do not have any existing health conditions that could affect your treatment, you can restore balding or thinning areas with minimal stress to the body and excellent results.

Frequently Asked Questions About FUE Hair Transplants

How Is FUE Hair Transplantation Done?

FUE hair transplantation is an extensive procedure that takes several hours. The first step is to collect healthy hair follicles that are not genetically programmed for balding from the sides or back of your head. This procedure is done under local anesthesia and is painless. Each of these individual hair follicles is carefully harvested. They are then transplanted to a new location in your scalp where your hair is thinning or has bald spots.

How Much Does It Cost?

An FUE hair transplant will cost between $4,000 and $15,000 per session, depending on the amount of hair that needs to be extracted and transplanted. We provide financing options on our website to ensure hair transplantation is accessible to anyone seeking it.

How Long Is the Recovery Time?

The recovery time associated with FUE hair transplants is often minimal, as the process involves no major trauma to your scalp. You may experience swelling initially, and the newly transplanted hairs may have a tiny scab around them. All of these will go away after some time.

It is recommended that you take a few days off from your work so your scalp can heal faster. Restrain yourself from taking a shower and sleep with your head elevated as long as you need so that the transplanted hair will settle down in the new location and start growing naturally.

However, keep in mind that the transplanted hairs will soon start to fall off. You will have new hair to replace them once the transplanted hair follicles are fully integrated into your scalp. This may require a few months as the hair follicles heal and need time to shift back into their active phase.

How Long Does a FUE Hair Transplant Last?

FUE hair transplants are designed to be permanent. The transplanted hair follicles are taken from areas resistant to balding, ensuring that they continue to grow over your lifetime. However, it’s important to note that the procedure does not prevent new hair loss from occurring in other areas.

Can I Combine FUE With PRP Therapy?

PRP, or “platelet-rich plasma,” can be combined with your FUE hair transplant procedure. PRP contains healing factors that can ensure better health of the freshly transplanted follicles. Incorporating PRP therapy with FUE hair transplants may accelerate the healing process and enhance the overall success rate of the transplant.

Can I Combine FUE With PepFactor?

Absolutely. PepFactor is similar to PRP but uses a combination of peptides (amino acids) and blood plasma to stimulate new hair growth. PepFactor can reverse some hair loss and help the scalp grow healthier hair. When looking at PepFactor versus PRP therapy, the results of PepFactor are seen faster, usually within a few weeks. With PRP, the results typically require follow-up sessions. PepFactor is not commonly provided in hair restoration clinics, but we are proud to offer it to our clients!

Can I Combine FUE With Exosome Therapy?

Yes, FUE can be combined with exosome therapy. Exosomes come from stem cells and contain protein and growth factors to assist in hair growth and thickness. Exosome therapy can be combined with either PRP or PepFactor to achieve even better results.

When Will I See Results?

Following FUE hair restoration, expect to see results between six to nine months after surgery, or sometimes close to a year. Your hair growth will follow the approximate timeline:

• 2-8 weeks after surgery, the transplanted hair will fall out. Relax, this is normal!
• About 3 months after, the hair may look thinner than before.
• Most new hair growth will begin 5-6 months after the treatment.
• At 8 to 10 months, expect thick and long hair!

Remember – hair restoration is a process. The general success rate of patients who receive FUE is 95-98%.

How Do I Maintain My Results?

It is important to follow all aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Shakov. These will ensure the best long-term results and allow an optimal recovery. Some examples include:

• Be gentle with your scalp! Avoid scratching or rubbing your scalp.
• Avoid tight hairstyles that could pull on the hair
• Use gentle and sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner
• Avoid hair dye and bleaching for at least 6 months after surgery
• Avoid hot styling tools and style products in the weeks after surgery
• Cover your head when out in the sun to reduce exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays
• Limit alcohol consumption as it can harm your healing process
• It is best to quit smoking after surgery, as smoking can negatively impact your new hair growth
