Fue Hair Transplant ( Follicular Unit Extraction)

The FUE method, or Follicular Unit Extraction, is a hair transplant technique. In this method, individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the head) one by one using a specialized punch tool. These individual follicles are then transplanted into the bald or thinning areas of the scalp. FUE is known for its minimally invasive nature and the absence of a linear scar, making it a popular choice for many individuals seeking hair restoration.

What is the FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT Method and How Works?

The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method is a sophisticated hair transplant procedure designed to address hair loss. Initially, the surgeon identifies a resilient donor area on the patient’s scalp, typically situated at the back or sides. This area ensures the extracted hair follicles are resistant to future hair loss. The uniqueness of FUE lies in the meticulous extraction process where individual hair follicles are harvested using specialized micro-tools, eliminating the need for a linear incision and preventing noticeable scarring.

 

Following extraction, the harvested follicles are carefully prepared, often organized based on their natural groupings called follicular units. Subsequently, the surgeon creates tiny incisions or punctures in the recipient area, considering the patient’s natural hair growth pattern and angle. The prepared follicles are then transplanted into these recipient sites with precision, aiming to achieve a result that looks both natural and aesthetically pleasing.

 

One of the notable advantages of the FUE method is its reduced healing time due to the absence of significant incisions. The postoperative period is characterized by minimal discomfort, and patients generally experience less scarring. This technique has become popular among individuals seeking a less invasive approach to hair transplantation while still achieving effective and natural-looking results.
