Follicular Unit Extraction

Who can Benefit from FUE?

FUE is perfect for people who have :

  • Androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness).
  • Injury or scarring-related hair loss.
  • Sparse eyebrows or spotty facial hair.

However, FUE is not the answer for everyone. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) may not be recommended for those whose hair loss type and donor hair quality do not meet the ideal conditions. For more, you can read the Hair Transplant Treatment Guide.

What are the Benefits of FUE?

  • 1. Less Invasive : FUE does not make large incisions or require stitching as older techniques did. This greatly shortens recovery time and the likelihood of complications.
  • 2. No Linear Scars : Because follicles are extracted one at a time, FUE leaves virtually no scarring, so it is the best option for those who style their hair shorter.
  • 3. Natural result : The precision and accuracy of FUE ensure that your newly transplanted hair will align and blend with the natural growth pattern to offer seamless, realistic results.
  • 4. Versatility : FUE is not only meant for Hair Restoration of scalp hair but can also be done for beard restoration, eyebrows, and moustache.

Because of its numerous advantages, Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is the go-to option for people having hair loss problems.

What is the Process of FUE?

The FUE process is careful and precise, which includes the following steps :

  • 1. Donor Area Preparation : We cut the hair on the donor zone so we can easily reach the follicles.
  • 2. Extraction of Follicles : Follicles are collected one at a time using a micro-punch instrument. This step should be done with high precision to avoid damage to the hair roots.
  • 3. Implantation : The extracted follicles are then implanted in the desired area, adjusting to look as natural as possible.
  • 4. Recovery and Regeneration : Harvested follicles also take their time to settle, and new hair growth is seen in a few months.

From a patient's perspective, each step in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is so designed that maximum success is achieved with minimum discomfort and downtime.

After FUE Treatment and Care

After approximately one to two weeks of healing time, the follicles fall out, and new hair grows, allowing the person to return to normal activities in days, since the trauma isn't as much, unlike other hair transplant methods. But post-procedure care is key to the best results :

  • For the first few weeks, avoid strenuous activities and direct sun exposure.
  • Follow your doctor’s advice about washing hair and caring for your scalp.
  • Give it time! Full results can take 6-12 months to fully appear.

Responsible Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) results, just like the hair, your routine is maintained with minimal disruption during recovery.
