FUE
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a popular hair transplant technique used to restore hair loss by individually extracting hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the head, and implanting them into the balding or thinning areas. This method is minimally invasive and leaves no linear scars, making it a preferred choice for many patients seeking a natural-looking hair restoration solution.
The FUE procedure involves using a specialized punch tool to extract hair follicles one by one. These follicles are then carefully implanted into the recipient area to mimic the natural hair growth pattern. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia, and the duration can vary depending on the number of grafts required. Recovery time is relatively short, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort and able to return to their normal activities within a few days. The results of FUE are long-lasting, with new hair growth appearing over several months and continuing to improve up to a year after the procedure.
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a hair transplant technique that involves extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area and implanting them into balding or thinning areas.
Good candidates are individuals experiencing hair loss who have sufficient donor hair, are in good overall health, and have realistic expectations about the results.
The procedure can take several hours to a full day, depending on the number of grafts needed. Recovery is usually quick, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days.
Risks include infection, scarring, temporary swelling, and in rare cases, follicle damage or poor growth of transplanted hair.
The cost of FUE varies widely, typically ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the number of grafts and the clinic’s location and reputation.
