Hair loss can often lead to frustration and a lack of self-esteem. Both men and women can suffer from unwanted hair loss problems. Fortunately, there is a solution. At the Wellness Kliniek we are specialised in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), a minimally invasive surgery for hair transplantation.
During the consultation, the doctor will consider a few factors to determine if the patient is an eligible candidate. Normally, if your overall health is good and you suffer from beginning to severe hair loss, you are a good candidate for hair transplant. For more information on hair transplants, do not hesitate to contact our team at the Wellness Kliniek!
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive surgery for hair transplantation in which hair follicles are transplanted from a donor area towards the reception zone. A punch is used to extract one follicle at a time from the donor area. The punch size is tailored to the patient's situation and each unit may contain between one to four hairs. The grafts are then carefully extracted, treated, cooled and temporarily stored until they can be implanted into the recipient zone(s). Very small incisions are made in the recipient area and the individual hair follicles are then implanted.
The graft extraction zone heals quickly within a few days, while the newly transplanted grafts will fall out within the first two months after surgery due to the trauma of the transplantation, however, they will revive and retake growth again after approximately 4 -5 months. The transplanted hairs will continue to develop in the 12 – 14 months after the operation. Thereafter the newly transplanted hair cannot be distinguished anymore from the other hair and will experience the same rest and growth cycles as all other hair.
During your consultation, you will meet the surgeon who will perform your surgery. The consultation will start with you expressing your desired result.
Your surgeon will then perform a medical examination to assess whether you are a suitable candidate.
During your consultation you can expect:
Depending on the type of treatment, your surgery will be performed under intravenous sleep sedation, local or general anaesthesia. More information about all types of anesthesia can be found on this page.
Your anaesthetist will insert a needle into your arm through which the medication will be injected. It takes about 10 seconds to take effect.
After surgery, incisions are closed with dissoluble sutures and necessary plasters and bandages are applied. When general anaesthesia or intravenous sleep sedation is applied, the anaesthetist will start the wake up process and you will be transferred to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored.
After surgery, you will be taken to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored by our medical staff. If the surgery took place under general anaesthesia or intravenous sleep sedation, your bodily functions will routinely be monitored whilst you start to awake.
Once you are fully conscious, you will be taken to your room where you can continue resting until you feel fit to go home.
Some surgeries require patients to stay overnight.
For optimal healing and aesthetic outcome, it is important to strictly follow your surgeon’s post-operative guidelines. These guidelines may vary from patient to patient.
All stitches are dissoluble so you don't need to visit your family doctor or a nurse to remove them. Depending on the type of surgery you might be expected to return for a follow-up consultation. You will be informed accordingly by our team members.
We are there to support you day and night. Our doctors and staff will advise and assist you until you are fully recovered.
