Follicular Unit Extraction

FUE is a modern hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted from a donor area (typically the back of the scalp) and implanted into balding or thinning areas. This method avoids linear scars and ensures precise placement for natural-looking hair growth.

FUE involves individual follicle extraction, while FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) removes a strip of scalp. FUE is less invasive, leaves no linear scar, and offers quicker healing. It’s ideal for patients preferring short hairstyles and seeking a more subtle restoration outcome.

You may be a good candidate if you have sufficient healthy donor hair and are in good overall health. FUE is often recommended for individuals experiencing pattern baldness, hair thinning, or receding hairlines. A consultation helps determine your suitability based on scalp condition and expectations.

Patients benefit from lower costs, access to skilled surgeons, and all-inclusive packages that cover treatment, lodging, and transfers. Countries offering medical tourism often have advanced clinics and international accreditation, ensuring high standards of care at more affordable prices.

Initial growth typically begins around 3–4 months post-treatment. Most patients experience noticeable improvements by 6–9 months, with full results developing over 12 months. The transplanted hair grows like natural hair and can be styled or cut as desired.

FUE is performed under local anesthesia, so pain during the procedure is minimal. Post-treatment discomfort is usually mild and manageable. Most individuals resume daily activities within a few days, although physical exertion should be avoided during initial recovery.

The number of grafts depends on the extent of hair loss, desired coverage, and hair density. On average, patients may need 1,000 to 3,000 grafts per session. A consultation helps assess exact requirements and expected outcomes.

Post-care includes avoiding direct sunlight, refraining from washing the scalp for the first few days, and using prescribed medications to minimize swelling or discomfort. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided to ensure optimal healing and growth.

Yes, the results of an FUE transplant are considered permanent since the transplanted follicles are resistant to DHT, the hormone linked to hair loss. However, additional treatments may be recommended if thinning continues in untreated areas.
