Are you an educator looking forward to the summer holidays? This well-deserved break is the perfect time to relax, recharge, and maybe tackle that change you’ve been thinking about. For many teachers, that change is addressing hair loss. A receding hairline or thinning hair can impact your confidence and make you feel older than you are.
What is FUE Hair Transplant?
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique that involves extracting individual follicular units (occuring in 1-4 hairs) directly from the donor area, typically the back of the scalp, and implanting them to the balding or thinning areas.
Unlike the strip FUT method, FUE leaves no linear scars and offers minimal downtime. This makes it a great option for educators who want to get back to their professional and social lives in no time.

Benefits of Getting FUE Hair Transplants During the Summer Holidays for Teachers
You can get a hair transplant any time of the year, but summer break offers teachers a unique chance to address hair loss and start the new term with a fuller head of hair and a more youthful look. Here are the benefits of getting an FUE hair transplant during the summer for educators in the UK:
- Plenty of Recovery Time. Unlike the hectic school year, summer break gives you all the time you need to recover. The first stages of healing involve some scabbing and redness, which are much easier to manage when you don’t have a busy schedule.
- Flexible Scheduling. You can conveniently book your consultations and follow-up appointments during the holidays. This way, you won’t have to worry about fitting them into your work and personal commitments.
- Discreet Healing. Summer’s relaxed dress codes and the chance to wear hats help you keep the healing process under wraps. You can heal without anyone noticing.
- Confidence Boost for the New Term. Imagine stepping back into the classroom with a fuller head of hair. It can really boost your confidence and make a positive difference in your teaching experience.
How Dr. Ted Perform’s FUE Hair Transplantation
FUE hair transplant offers a minimally invasive solution for hair loss for educators in the UK. Dr. Ted uses one of the most advanced FUE technologies available today – the WAW DUO FUE system. This device offers several benefits, including higher graft yields, minimizing damage to the follicular units, and making the FUE procedure more efficient.
Step 1. Donor Area Selection
Dr. Ted begins the procedure by choosing the “donor area” – typically the back or sides of your scalp where hair tends to grow strong and healthy. This will be the source of donor follicles to be implanted into the thinning or balding areas.
Step 2. Follicle Extraction with WAW DUO FUE System
Dr. Ted will then numb the donor area so you can stay comfortable throughout the procedure. Unlike traditional FUE punches, the WAW DUO system employs a specialized handpiece with two punches in one:
- Outer Flat Punch: This sharp, square-edged punch cuts through the scalp with minimal pressure.
- Inner Smooth Punch: This blunt-edged punch gently detaches the targeted follicular unit from the surrounding tissue, minimizing damage to the follicle itself.
This “hybrid” approach allows for deeper extraction without compromising the integrity of the hair follicles, potentially increasing the number of viable grafts harvested.
Step 3. Follicle Preparation
Following extraction, Dr. Ted and his team of technicians will meticulously examine the harvested follicular units and prepare them for transplantation. This may involve separating individual hairs from the follicles, if necessary.
Step 4. Recipient Area Preparation
Tiny recipient sites are then meticulously created using microblades or needles. These sites are strategically placed to promote natural-looking hair growth in terms of density and angulation.
Step 5. Follicle Implantation
Implanting follicles in FUE hair transplants is an intricate art. Each extracted follicular unit is carefully inserted into a recipient site using specialized tools. Dr. Ted meticulously considers factors such as hair growth direction, density, and depth to achieve the natural appearance you desire.
The selection of healthy donor hair, careful graft handling, and the surgeon’s skill all contribute to a successful implantation and hair restoration.
6. Recovery
Lastly, the recipient and donor areas are cleaned and bandaged as necessary. Dr. Ted will provide you with detailed instructions for aftercare, including medications and activity restrictions so you can heal properly.
The initial healing process is similar to a standard FUE procedure, with scabbing and redness subsiding within a few days. Full results with new hair growth are typically visible within a year.
