Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is an advanced hair transplant method that involves the extraction of individual hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back of the head. These follicles are then meticulously transplanted into areas with thinning or balding hair. FUE is known for its minimally invasive nature, reduced scarring, and natural-looking results. It is a popular choice for those seeking hair restoration with a quicker recovery period compared to traditional methods.

Here are key points about Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplants:

  • FUE is a minimally invasive hair restoration procedure that involves the extraction and transplantation of individual hair follicles.

  • Hair follicles are typically harvested from the back or sides of the head, where hair is genetically resistant to balding.

  • The extracted follicles are then carefully transplanted into the areas with thinning or balding hair.

  • FUE provides natural-looking results, as the transplanted hair grows just like the surrounding hair.

  • What is FUE hair transplantation?
    FUE is a minimally invasive hair restoration procedure that involves the extraction and transplantation of individual hair follicles from a donor area to areas with thinning or balding hair.
  • How does FUE differ from other hair transplant methods?
    FUE differs from the strip method (FUT) by individually extracting follicles instead of a strip of scalp, resulting in smaller, less visible scars.
  • Am I a suitable candidate for FUE?
    Ideal candidates have sufficient donor hair in the back or sides of the head and are experiencing pattern baldness or hair loss.
  • Is FUE a permanent solution for hair loss?
    The transplanted hair is permanent, but ongoing hair loss may require further treatment or maintenance.
  • How is the donor area determined for FUE?
    The donor area is typically the back or sides of the head, where hair is genetically resistant to balding.
  • Is FUE painful?
    Discomfort is minimal during the procedure, and local anesthesia is used. Post-operative discomfort is manageable with pain medication.
  • What is the recovery time for FUE?
    Most patients can return to regular activities within a few days, with full recovery taking a few weeks.
