FUE Hair Transplant

Create a request

FUE Hair Transplant (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a minimally invasive hair restoration technique that involves the individual removal of hair follicles from a donor area and their transplantation to the balding or thinning areas. This procedure is popular for its natural-looking results and minimal scarring.

FUE Hair Transplant

General

FUE Hair Transplant involves extracting individual hair follicles from the back or sides of the head (donor area) using a special microsurgical extraction instrument, typically under local anesthesia. Each follicle is then meticulously transplanted into the recipient area on the scalp where hair is thinning or balding. This detailed process allows for precise placement of hair follicles, promoting a natural and aesthetically pleasing hairline. Post-transplant, the transplanted hair will initially fall out before entering a new growth phase. Over the course of several months, patients can expect to see significant improvement in hair density and coverage. The FUE method minimizes scarring and downtime compared to older hair transplant methods, making it a preferred choice for those looking for effective hair restoration solutions.
