Long hair transplant with FUE technique
What is FUE hair transplantation for long hair?
Grafts are extracted from small areas without shaving the donor or recipient areas, as the hairs retain their full length or are cut short individually. The long hairs are implanted in the recipient area with FUE or DHI technique.
How it works
- Extraction: Grafts are extracted at their full length using a micro-punch.
- Preparation: The grafts are sorted and stored.
- Implantation: using the FUE method (incisions and placement) or DHI (Choi implanter)
Who is it for?
This method is ideal for those looking for a discreet hair transplantation (women, artists, actors, VIPs, other persons with a job involving public appearance, etc.)
Pros
- immediate visible results
- surgeon can anticipate the final result
- higher survival rate of grafts
- applies also to afro-caribbean hair
Cons
- only a few centers perform it, due to its level of complexity
- maximum number of grafts is around 3000
- grafts shedding after a few weeks
What Clinics Say About This Procedure
We guarantee a safe, precise approach adapted to the technical demands of FUE Long, a technique that requires specific training and highly rigorous execution at every stage.
Extracting follicular units while maintaining natural hair length allows observation of real angle, direction and curvature. This advantage translates into a more precise and natural hairline design.
With long hair, the surgeon evaluates the position of each follicle at the time of implantation. This anticipates the final result and ensures a more harmonious density distribution.
Studies with more than 350 patients demonstrate low transection rates (3.9%–4.6%), 93% survival at 9 months and high satisfaction levels, without compromising donor area health.
With appropriate instruments and adjusted parameters, FUE Long has demonstrated effectiveness in afro-textured hair and opens new possibilities for profiles previously considered challenging for conventional FUE.
After the procedure, the patient receives clear instructions for the first days, ensuring graft protection, proper hygiene and a discreet healing process.
