What is FUE Hair Transplant?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a modern hair transplant technique that extracts individual hair follicles directly from the donor area (usually the back and sides of the scalp) and implants them into areas experiencing hair loss. This minimally invasive procedure is ideal for patients who want natural results with minimal scarring.
Unlike the FUT (strip) method which removes a strip of scalp tissue, FUE uses micro-punches to extract individual follicles, making it perfect for patients with short hairstyles or those concerned about visible scarring.
Why Choose FUE?
- No linear scar - individual follicle extraction
- Minimally invasive surgical technique
- Quick recovery - return to activities within 7-10 days
- Natural-looking results with proper density
- Ideal for short hairstyles
- 95%+ graft survival rate with expert technique
- Multiple sessions possible for larger areas
- Less post-operative pain and swelling
FUE Procedure Steps
Preparation
Donor area is trimmed, and local anesthesia is administered. Scalp markings are made to identify individual follicles for extraction.
Follicle Extraction
Using a micro-punch (0.6-1mm), individual hair follicles are carefully extracted from the donor area one by one. This requires precision and expertise.
Graft Preparation
Extracted follicles are placed in chilled saline solution and sorted under magnification. Grafts are counted and organized by hair follicle unit.
Recipient Site Creation
Small incisions are made in the recipient area with careful attention to angle, direction, and spacing for natural hair growth patterns.
Graft Placement
Prepared hair grafts are carefully implanted into the recipient sites. Proper placement ensures natural density and direction of hair growth.
Post-Operative Care
Bandages are applied, medications prescribed, and detailed aftercare instructions provided. Follow-up appointments monitor healing and hair growth.
