FUE

The “FUE” (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant technique is a minimally invasive procedure where individual hair follicles are extracted directly from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) and implanted into areas experiencing hair thinning or baldness.It’s a popular choice for those seeking natural results with minimal scarring.

Procedure Overview

1. Consultation

   • The surgeon assesses your hair loss pattern, donor hair density, and desired outcome.

2. Harvesting Hair Follicles

   • Hair follicles are extracted one by one using a specialized punch tool (0.6–1.0 mm in diameter).
   • This method avoids the need for a linear incision, leaving tiny dot-like scars that are less noticeable.

3. Preparing the Recipient Area

   • Tiny incisions are made in the balding or thinning areas to receive the grafts.

4. Implantation

   • The extracted follicles are carefully implanted into the incisions, following the natural hairline and growth pattern.

5. Post-Procedure Care

   • After the procedure, the scalp is cleaned, and aftercare instructions are provided.

Advantages of FUE

• Minimal Scarring: Leaves small, unnoticeable scars instead of a linear scar.
• Faster Recovery: Less invasive than FUT, with a shorter healing time.
• Customizable Harvesting: Allows extraction from various areas (e.g., scalp, beard, chest) for body hair transplantation.
• Natural Results: Grafts are placed to mimic the natural direction of hair growth.

• Healing Period:
  • Redness and tiny scabs in the treated areas typically heal within 7–10 days.
  • Full recovery of the donor area takes about 2 weeks.
• Shedding Phase:
  • Transplanted hairs often shed within 2–3 weeks (normal process).
  • New hair growth starts around 3–4 months, with final results visible after 9–12 months.
• Care Instructions:
  • Avoid scratching or touching the transplanted area.
  • Avoid strenuous activities and direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks.
  • Follow prescribed medications to prevent infection and reduce swelling.

Risks and Side Effects

• Swelling or Redness: Temporary and resolves within days.
• Shock Loss: Temporary loss of surrounding hair, which regrows over time.
• Uneven Growth: Rare if done by an experienced surgeon.
• Scarring: Tiny dot-like scars may be visible if the hair is cut very short.

Cost

The cost of FUE hair transplants ranges between $5,000 and $15,000, depending on:
