In almost all the clinics where they graft hair, they resort to two restoration techniques which are the FUSS and the FUE. These are considered the best hair transplant techniques in Mexico. Both have their advantages and after your procedure you will begin to notice a small difference, until you recover all the hair that you have lost.

At Cancun Hair Restoration, we know both procedures perfectly and that is why we will tell you about each of them. In addition, we will give you some points that you should take into consideration when you decide to submit to one of them.

The Best Hair Transplant Technique

Before explaining what these two great hair transplant techniques consist of, we will tell you that, in both, an expert plastic surgeon will be in charge of performing the operation. In Cancun Hair Restoration, we have all the safety measures in health and care of our patients, so you will be safe at all times.

FUE Hair Transplant

The FUE technique of hair transplantation is one of the most used today to recover hair in Mexico. The long-term results are the best because the follicular units are transplanted one by one. We take these from some part of your head from where it is more suitable to remove them to put them where you must need it.

To determine exactly where the doctors will take the follicular units from, they will perform a study on your hindhead to determine which part will be better to take them. The place chosen must have uniformity in the appearance of the hair and its follicular units must be in good health.

With the analysis completed, the surgeon will begin to extract every one of the hair follicles with small incisions. To make this completely painless for you, we use local anesthesia, so you will not feel anything during the operation. This is a job that only an expert doctor can do, because if the cuts are not made in the best way, the follicular units can be damaged.

What is good about the FUE technique of hair grafting?

First of all, the previously described procedure is non-invasive and will not leave a single scar on your scalp. For this reason and its incredible long-term results, it is considered the best hair transplant method in Mexico.

This means that, after the intervention, you will be able to carry out your normal activities without problems and, in no more than 15 days, you will no longer feel the irritation of the surgery, neither where the follicles were removed, nor where they were grafted.

Although generally, hair is taken from the nape area, the previous studies that we carry out allow us to determine if there is a better place to take the hair follicles. Therefore, it is not only a good option for transplanting hair from the head, but also from other parts of the body such as the chest or shoulders.

If one of your concerns is how permanent this procedure is, we can tell you that your hair will no longer fall out. Genetically, that transplanted hair will not stop growing, regardless of whether it is in a new area of your head. It is a surgery that men and women can go under procedure without problems.

FUT Hair Transplant

In the FUT transplant technique, also known as FUSS or strip, the doctor removes an entire band of skin from the back of the head. Once this strip is removed, the hair follicles are selected to be grafted one by one in the area where you have significant hair loss.

Approximately, the strip of hair that is removed from the nape of the patient is 1.00 centimeters wide by 20.00 centimeters long. This leaves a very unremarkable scar on this part of the head that will be hidden by the remaining hair.

Unlike the FUE technique, with FUT, the amount of hair that we can transplant will depend on how much the donor has on the nape of the neck. However, enough can be achieved even if the patient does not have a very high hair density.

To perform this procedure, at Cancun Hair Restoration, we apply a local anesthetic to the patient with a little sedation. A surgery like this takes between 8 and 12 hours, depending on the number of follicles to be transplanted. To keep the hair follicles as cared for as possible, we will keep them hydrated and kept cold.

A few days after the operation, some of your hair will fall out; this is completely normal as they are adjusting to the new area. However, these will grow back in about three months.

You will notice the change six months after the operation when most of the hair has come out. You will see the final result of the operation 10 or 12 months after surgery, when your hair has grown and fully adapted.

What is good about the FUT technique of hair grafting?

The main reason why this is one of the best hair transplant techniques in Mexico is that with it you can graft a greater number of hair follicles and you will not need to shave. If you combine this technique with the FUE, you will get a surprising result.

Also, a greater number of hair follicles can be obtained in excellent condition, since there will be between 2,000 or 3,000 in the strip. Usually, the doctor will choose those of better quality that have between 2 or 4 hairs per follicle. In addition, their removal is easier and safer, and they run less risk of being damaged during surgery.

The only problem with this is that it will leave a small scar in the nape area; however, it will not be visible. As for the grafted hair, it will not be very noticeable either and in a few days, it will adapt to your new area of the scalp.

It is important that, once you have undergone any of the two methods of hair transplantation, you follow all the postoperative care indicated by the doctor to the letter. In this way, your recovery will be faster, and the results of the intervention will be more noticeable and permanent in the long term.

Dare to change and improve your appearance with either of these two hair grafting methods. Although these are somewhat long operations, they are very simple to perform and, from the hand of knowledgeable surgeons, everything will go perfectly, and you will see the best results in a very short time.If you are looking for the clinic with the best hair transplant in Mexico, Cancun Hair Restoration is where you should go. We have the best plastic surgeons who are experts in hair grafting. Visit us at any of our branches in Cancun or Mexico City. You can contact us from our website; by phone to the line: 55-5466-1144; or write us an email at: [email protected] ; and change your life completely.

Is it too late for a hair transplant?

FUE hair transplantation is an innovative technique for hair restoration. And, if you are looking for the best hair transplant in Mexico, this is one of the solutions offered by Cancun Hair Restoration. But, one of the frequently asked questions we get is does this procedure last forever. Next, our experts will help you answer this question.

What is the FUE hair transplant?

It is a hair-to-hair transplantation method that achieves excellent results. It is a minor surgical treatment consisting of individually removing the hair, so that there are no scars on the head. The removed hair is placed in the area receiving the transplant.

The procedure is outpatient and the result is quite natural, so when you recover from the surgery, you will have great hair. 

All hair transplant procedures require care before and after surgery, but this will depend on the type of procedure. In the case of FUE, the hair follicles are grafted onto the areas with thinning hair and will require a certain amount of time to heal.

One fact is that some of the hair will probably fall out during the first three months after the procedure. The healing time varies between 6 and 12 months. Once the healing period is complete, hair will begin to grow from the transplanted follicles, which will fill in the empty spaces, making baldness no longer a problem for you.

It lasts forever?

The results are visible from the first day and yes, they are long-lasting, to the point of being considered permanent. However, for this to happen, it is necessary to have a quality healing and recovery process, guided by experts. If you do not have the necessary care before and after surgery, the quality of the results is likely to be affected.

The movement of the hair follicles is permanent. There is no way to return them to their previous position. This may mean that the transplanted follicles stop producing hair at some point. For this reason, it is important to consult an expert to evaluate the pros and cons of this procedure in your specific case.

The result can vary from person to person. Don’t be guided by the advice of friends or family who have undergone the process. See a doctor who will advise you for the best results, whether with FUE, FUT or micropigmentation.

Just one transplant?

We will not lie. Your first hair transplant may not be your last. In some cases, the doctor will say that it is necessary to have multiple sessions to obtain the desired result. People are also likely to be satisfied with the results of the transplant. And, once the scalp has healed, they decide to perform another procedure to fill in the empty spaces.

This decision will depend on you and the recommendations made by the doctor in charge of your case.

FUE and FUT: which is the best? 

When he goes to the doctor and prescribes some treatment for a disease, he usually asks if he can eat or drink something specific. However, a basic question is always overlooked: medications can cause hair loss? This type of question is more common in people who already have a clavicle problem and are considering the best hair transplant in Mexico.

But, if this is the first time you ask, Cancun Hair Restoration brings you this interesting blog.

Myth or true?

The answer to this question is a great one: it depends on the medication. Alopecia is a condition that appears as a result of several factors and some types of medication are closely related. It is important to clarify that alopecia can affect any part of the body that is covered by hair. 

In case the alopecia appears as a consequence of the medication, the hair loss will depend on the duration of the treatment and the dose of it. But, if you detect an excessive fall, it is better to consult an expert. When the damage is severe enough, you may need to undergo a hair transplant once the treatment is complete.

What medications cause hair loss?

There are medications that are responsible for hair loss in some of the phases of the growth cycle: resting phase (telogen), growth phase (anagen) and catagen phase.

Telogen phase

In the case of the telogen phase, it is possible to find:

• Beta blockers
• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
• Contraceptive pills
• Anticonvulsants
• Fluoxetine (Prozac)
• Sertraline (Zoloft)
• Paroxetine (Paxil)
• Antifungal medications
• Hormone replacement therapy
• Thyroid treatment
• Anticoagulants
• Those aimed at lowering cholesterol

Anagen phase

At this stage, the following medications stand out:

• Boric acid
• Chemotherapy
• Arsenic
• Colcrys

Medications in general

Other medications that can lead to hair loss are:

• Acne medications containing vitamin A (retinoids)
• Antidepressants
• Immune-inhibiting drugs
• Diuretics
• Steroids
• Parkinson’s medications
• Antifungal drugs

Remember that if you notice any abnormality in the growth of your hair or discomfort in general from a treatment, you should discuss it with your doctor. Self-medication should never be an option.

Can this type of hair loss be reversed?

Most logical solution to stop hair loss is to stop taking the medication. But, before making this decision, it is important to discuss it with your doctor. With the help of your healthcare professional, you are likely to find an alternative solution or consider a future hair transplant.

Even if you stop taking the medication, hair loss is likely to stop up to 6 months later. Total growth of your hair can take up to 1 and a half years.

How to diagnose drug hair loss?

If you notice any of these symptoms, visit your doctor:

• You see strands of hair on pillows.
• When you brush your hair, a good amount comes off your head.
• Notice strands of hair in the drain when you take a shower.

When you see your doctor, they will likely ask you about your general eating habits, if you have undergone any surgery, or if there is a family history of hair loss. All this will help you to make an accurate diagnosis to solve your problem.

When you have hair loss and thinning, the first thing you want to find is the cause. But your priority should be to find a solution. Depending on your hair loss problem, you can plan a hair transplant abroad, or you can get vitamins for hair growth. Do they really work? Keep reading this article to know the answer.

Vitamins for hair growth: why to try it?

The consumption of vitamins is essential for people’s health. Its function is to preserve a good state of health. In other words: if your body receives enough vitamins and minerals, you will not get sick as often and, if you do, your immune system will respond optimally.

The problem is that, with today’s pace of life, people skip breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This, in the short term, will affect the health of your skin, hair, nails and more. A poor diet is the cause of hair loss and, if this is the cause of your hair loss, it is time to put a solution!

For starters, avoid junk food and go for green vegetables and fresh fruits. You can find simple recipes on the internet!

Vitamins for hair growth: how it works?

There are vitamins and minerals that are auxiliary to achieve healthy hair growth. These should be considered as supplements: nothing replaces a balanced diet. And, in some cases, hair loss can only be solved with hair transplantation, so we recommend consulting your doctor before taking any supplements.

Some of the vitamins that your body needs to stop hair loss are:

Vitamin A

Vitamin A helps the glands in the skin make a substance called sebum. This hydrates the scalp and allows the hair to remain healthy. Diets deficient in this vitamin cause several problems, including hair loss.

Sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, and spinach are a source of beta-carotene. This, in turn, is converted into vitamin A. You can also find it in animal products, such as milk, eggs and yogurt, as well as cod liver oil.

However, it is also important to consider that an overdose of vitamin A contributes to hair loss. It is better to keep a balance.

Vitamin C

When free radicals are damaged, they can block hair growth, causing it to age. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, which protects your body from oxidative stress as a result of free radicals.

In addition, with vitamin C, your body creates a protein, collagen, which is an essential part of the hair structure. And, as if that were not enough, this vitamin helps in the absorption of iron. This mineral is necessary for healthy hair growth.

Some of the most common sources of vitamin C are strawberries, guavas, citrus fruits, and guavas.

Vitamins B

When you go to the doctor with a moderate hair loss problem, she will most likely prescribe a supplement of B vitamins. Also known as biotin, it is an aid in the creation of red blood cells.

Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen to all parts of the body, including the scalp and hair follicles.

Vitamin B is found in foods such as whole grains, vegetables, fish, shellfish, and dark green vegetables. But, in addition to food, you can find vitamin B12 supplements, which are very useful for people with vegetarian and vegan diets.

Remember that you should not self-medicate. Consult with your doctor before making a decision about the treatment that is best for you. To find the most optimal solution for you, contact us. Come with the experts of Cancun Hair Restoration and get great hair again! We are waiting for you.
