FUE Hair Transplant
What is FUE Hair Transplant?
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a modern hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (usually the back of the head) and implanted into the recipient area. Unlike the older FUT method, FUE does not leave a linear scar.
How it works
- Extraction: Individual follicles are harvested using a micro-punch tool.
- Preparation: Grafts are sorted and preserved in a nutrient solution.
- Implantation: Channels are opened in the recipient area, and grafts are placed one by one.
Who is it for?
FUE is suitable for patients who prefer short haircuts and want minimal scarring. It is effective for various stages of hair loss.
Pros
- Minimal scarring (tiny dots)
- Faster recovery than FUT
- Natural-looking results
- Suitable for short hair
Cons
- Longer procedure time
- Requires shaving the donor area
- Higher cost than FUT
