What is FUE?
>

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive hair restoration technique that involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area of the scalp and transplanting them to the thinning or balding areas. FUE offers many advantages over traditional hair transplant methods, including minimal scarring and a quick recovery time.


Advantages of FUE

  • Minimal scarring: FUE hair transplant does not leave a large, visible scar on the scalp as individual hair follicles are extracted instead of a strip.


  • Faster recovery: Patients can typically resume their daily activities within a few days of the procedure.


  • Less invasive: FUE is a minimally invasive procedure, with no need for stitches or staples.


  • Natural-looking results: The transplanted hair appears natural and blends in with the existing hair.


  • No linear scar: Unlike traditional hair transplant methods, FUE does not leave a linear scar on the back of the head.

  • Minimal discomfort: Patients typically experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.


  • Versatile: FUE can be used to restore hair on the scalp, beard, and eyebrows.


  • Higher success rate: FUE has a higher success rate than other hair restoration techniques.


  • Customizable: FUE can be customized to suit each patient's unique hair restoration needs.


  • No need for general anesthesia: FUE is typically performed under local anesthesia, making it safer and reducing the risk of complications.


Results of FUE

Who is an ideal candidate for FUE?

An ideal candidate for FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is someone who:

  • Has good general health: Candidates should be in good general health and free from any medical conditions that could affect the healing process.


  • Has stable hair loss: Candidates should have stable hair loss, meaning that their hair loss has stabilized and is no longer progressing.

  • Is not on blood thinners: Candidates should not be taking blood thinners or other medications that could affect the healing process.
