Are FUE hair transplants for men and women?

Yes! Hair loss can affect anyone, regardless of their sex. We’ve helped numerous men and women with their thinning or balding hair.

Where are donor hair follicles being taken from for an FUE hair transplant?

We take your own hair from a specific donor area and move it to the area that is thinning or balding. If hair is taken from somebody else, your body will see it as foreign and likely reject it. That’s why it’s important to act early when it comes to treatment, so we have a donor area with thick enough hair to use for a transplant.

Is there an age limit on who can undergo an FUE hair transplant?

We tend to see a lot of patients who are in their mid-30s to mid-50s. While there is no upper age limit, we generally don’t advise patients under the age of 21 to seek out FUE hair transplants.

How long does it take for hair to grow after hair transplant?

You’ll begin to see growth in your hair about three to five months after your treatment. After the transplant, it’s important to be patient as the newly hair follicles develop and grow new hair at the balding or thinning area.

What is the main difference between FUE and the strip method?

FUE will typically require less recovery time and doesn’t leave a linear scar. However, the strip method is more cost effective and has been around as a hair restoration treatment for much longer. Both methods are effective and work better for different people. Ultimately, which treatment which treatment you should choose really depends on your own individual goals for hair growth.

Treatment overview

Hair loss and thinning of the scalp is something that many men and women have to deal with at some point in their lives.

An FUE hair transplant offers a permanent solution to this problem, with a safe, minimally-invasive surgical procedure that extracts active hair follicles from a donor and puts it on the treatment area.

FUE transplants are a great option for patients looking for a precise, highly effective treatment. The skilled experts at RL Center for Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa can ensure lasting results with very minimal discomfort and no scarring.

Conditions

FUE hair transplants can help people who have thinning or balding hair on the scalp, but still enough hair nearby that can be used for a transplant.

For those interested in potential treatment, it’s important to note that it’s better to act sooner rather than later. If there isn’t enough healthy hair to transplant to the thinning area, you may not be eligible for treatment.

How it Works

The Consultation

At RL Center for Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa, each initial patient consultation is different.

Depending on your needs, desired treatments, areas of concern, and simply who you are as a patient, we will schedule you with an actual treatment provider to discuss your goals, budget, and more. During this appointment, we will go through before & after photos, your medical history, and any questions you might have. Only then can we make a recommendation for which procedures or treatments may be right for you and why. We will be sure to educate you on how the treatments work, including what to expect during and afterward.

A typical consultation lasts about 40 minutes and is free of charge for all aesthetic treatments, including FUE Hair transplants. At the end of your consultation, you will leave our office in Vernon Hills with a thorough, personalized treatment plan. And when you’re ready, we’ll schedule your first treatment session.

Your FUE Hair Transplant Treatment

As with any procedure at RL Center for Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa, we will begin your treatment by ensuring your total comfort in a clean, comfortable, and private treatment room.

Our providers start by giving patients a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort. We then use state-of-the-art technology to extract the active hair follicles one-by-one from the donor area and then transplant those follicles into the thinning or bald area. This stimulates regeneration and growth to the bald or thinning area over time.

The Recovery

After the transplant, the tissue around the treated area will begin nourishing the hair follicles.

This will stimulate the growth over time, with noticeable results occurring between three to five months after treatment.

You can return to work and most activities the next day after an FUE hair transplant, but you should avoid strenuous activity for seven to 12 days following the treatment.
