FUE, or Follicular Unit Extraction, is a modern surgical hair transplant technique used to treat hair loss or baldness. It is one of the most advanced methods of hair restoration and involves extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area and transplanting them to areas with thinning or no hair. FUE is known for its minimally invasive nature and ability to create natural-looking results.

Key aspects of FUE hair transplant include:

1. Individual Follicle Extraction:

   • FUE involves the extraction of individual hair follicles from the donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, where hair is genetically resistant to balding.

   • Each follicular unit is extracted using a micro-punch tool, leaving tiny, nearly invisible scars.

2. Donor Site Healing:

   • The donor area heals with small dot-like scars, which are less noticeable compared to the linear scar produced by traditional hair transplant methods such as Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT).

3. Transplantation:

   • Once extracted, the individual hair follicles are transplanted into the recipient area, which is the area where the patient desires more hair or where hair loss has occurred.

   • The surgeon creates tiny incisions or recipient sites for the grafts to be placed.

4. Natural-Looking Results:

   • FUE allows for precise placement of individual hair follicles, mimicking the natural growth pattern and creating a more natural-looking hairline.

5. Local Anesthesia:

   • FUE is typically performed under local anesthesia, making the procedure more comfortable for the patient. It is often done on an outpatient basis.

6. Recovery:

   • The recovery time for FUE is generally shorter compared to traditional methods. Patients may experience some redness and swelling in the recipient and donor areas, but these side effects are temporary.

7. Results:

   • The final results of FUE hair transplant become noticeable as the transplanted hair follicles start to grow. Hair growth is a gradual process, and it may take several months to see the full results.

   • The transplanted hair is permanent and behaves like natural hair.

8. Candidacy:

   • FUE is suitable for individuals experiencing male or female pattern baldness, as well as those looking to restore hair in specific areas.
