The FUE method is the most widely used hair transplantation method worldwide. In this method, groups of hair follicles (grafts) are removed one by one from the donor area (usually the back of the head). They are then replaced in the area affected by hair loss.

The main difference between FUE and FUT is the way the grafts (groups of hair follicles) are extracted from the donor area (the back of the head). In FUT, a strip of skin is removed, while in FUE the grafts are harvested one by one. This greatly affects the recovery process after the treatment. Thanks to the short recovery after the FUE procedure, hair transplantation has become much more accessible. The main advantages of FUE are:

The treatments below are applications of the FUE method. The FUE hair-saving method, for example, represents a treatment method without shaving the entire hair prior to treatment. This makes this treatment method very suitable for men and women with hair longer than 5 centimeters. Furthermore, semi-hair saving is also possible. In this application, you can keep the hair on top of your head long during the treatment and only the donor area is milled.

Medical risk

A hair transplant is and remains a medical procedure. Therefore, it is important that the treatment is carried out in an appropriate medical environment and that you are treated by experienced specialists. When this is the case and your personal medical situation has been assessed, the risk of medical complications from this treatment is fortunately zero. The superficial wounds in the skin generally recover very successfully and without complications. 

Aesthetic risk

A hair transplant is a very labor-intensive treatment, which is why the focus and experience of the medical team is important. The focus of the medical team is determined from the Clinic . Here you can think of a focus on harvesting as many grafts as possible or a focus on working carefully. When the focus is to harvest the highest possible numbers at the lowest possible cost, it comes at the expense of quality. In practice, that means losing grafts due to a low success rate and/or using too many grafts for too small a treatment area. In either case, the damage is irreparable. This is the most underestimated risk of a hair transplant.

Treatment size is represented by most clinics in the number of grafts. Unfortunately, the recommended numbers can vary widely, making it not always easy to properly compare clinics. Overall, the number of grafts required for your treatment depends on two factors. These are your personal wishes and the available donor material.

In general, the difference in the number of grafts required at Zantman Clinic is distributed in the following way:

1. small treatment is 500 to 1000 grafts: for example, small coves.
2. average treatment is 1000 to 1500 grafts: for example, a crown.
3. large treatment is 2000+ grafts: for example, a crown and inlets.

A treatment up to 1500 grafts can also be well performed as a hair-saving treatment. Or possibly as semi-hair saving.

If enough good quality donor material is available, the consequences of hair loss are usually treatable. Excellent results can then be achieved at Zantman Clinic in Rotterdam. We will discuss your expectations in detail during a free, no-obligation consultation. Much attention will be paid to your wishes. In addition, there is of course plenty of room for your questions. The areas most commonly treated in men are enlarged coves and a thinning crown. In women, in most cases it is the front line.

You can send in photos by e-mail for an initial treatment and price indication. Based on the photos, a hair transplant specialist will give you an indication of the number of grafts needed and the corresponding price quote by e-mail.

If you want to know more about treatment, you can schedule a free, no-obligation consultation appointment. During this consultation with the specialist you will receive extensive information about the treatment process and the considerations for your personal situation in the short and long term.

This consultation takes place at our location in Rotterdam where the treatments are also carried out. The consultation lasts approximately one hour. 

Hair transplantation is also known as hair implantation. The treatment process of this procedure is described in detail on the page: treatment process hair implantation.

The recovery time of a Follicular Unit Extraction hair transplant treatment is on average 10 days. Thereby, during the first 2 days real rest will have to be kept. Skin healing is similar to that of a superficial abrasion. The skin is healed when the scabs have disappeared. In people who are very fit and healthy, this can be the case after only 5 days. Either way, it is important for a successful recovery to follow the aftercare instructions carefully. This also ensures that nothing happens to the transplanted grafts that can negatively affect the result.

After a hair transplant at Zantman Clinic , you will receive aftercare instructions (view this page for a summary of aftercare instructions) to take home that are detailed. These consist of a step-by-step plan for the first 10 days and the months after. This way you know exactly what you are doing right and you always have the right information at hand. In addition, you can schedule interim (telephone) check-up appointments with your treating physician, should you feel comfortable. The final result of your treatment is fully visible after one year. That is when the final check-up appointment is scheduled.

You can check out the blogs below for more information on aftercare:

The costs and any current offers are clearly listed on the costs page. Costs depend on the number of grafts (groups of hair follicles) required. The numbers advised by Zantman Clinic are regularly lower than other hair clinics. If this applies to your situation, it is recommended to discuss this with the consultant. In addition, all prices at Zantman Clinic are based on the actual number of grafts transplanted.

The average waiting time for treatment is 1 to 2 months. If you have a flexible schedule, you may be able to take advantage of a Last Minute treatment date. That means you can get your treatment within a few weeks. Current Last Minute dates can be found on the charges page. In order to schedule a Last Minute date, you must first make a consultation appointment with one of our specialists, indicating that you would like to use a Last Minute option. Then you can be placed on the Last Minute list.

A transplant is a permanent solution for treating the effects of hair loss. The hair follicles that are relocated will produce new hair permanently. When hair loss follows a predictable pattern, as in Alopecia Androgenetica, it is easy to determine which hair follicles can be used to fill in the bald areas. In Alopecia Androgenetica, the hair follicles on the back of the head (the hair crown) will remain insensitive to the DHT hormone. Even when relocated, they will remain healthy and produce hair. As a result, redistributing these hair follicles is an effective way to restore hair loss. Results can also be permanent for other hair loss causes. A consultation at Zantman Clinic will assess your personal situation and determine if treatment is actually possible.
