FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant

The Follicular Unit Extraction method of hair transplantation is a relatively new procedure. The aim of the discovery was to find a way to minimize the scar at the donor area, so that hair transplantation does not leave a visible sign on the patient’s scalp even if they have a short hairstyle. The Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) technique does leave a scar on the donor site after the operation, although a very thin one. FUE hair transplant on the other hand leaves no visible trace of the procedure at all after the healing period.

How It Works

Follicular Unit Extraction mainly differs from the conventional methods in the donor graft removal period of the operation. Instead of cutting out a lateral strip of the scalp itself, each follicular unit is extracted via a micro-punch knife, as small as 0.6 to 1 mm in diameter. This method ensures that both the donor area and the transplant area retain a natural look after surgery. Besides the longer operation time, the extraction phase is a procedure that requires immense skill from the operating surgeon. You can be sure that our doctors will perform the surgery with the greatest proficiency and care.

Who It Is For

FUE Hair Transplantation is an ideal choice for you if your hairstyle is short, and the number of the desired graft transplantation is moderate. With repeated surgery, the maximum number of transplanted follicular unit grafts (hair bulbs) is around 2,000-2,500. This number is enough to repair natural balding in the area where the cranial hair region meets the hairless forehead part of the scalp. The result is permanent, since the donor hairs are resistant to hormone-induced hair loss. If you choose this method, you can be sure that your results will be highly satisfactory, with no visible traces of surgery at all, and a great improvement in appearance. Furthermore, the care that is provided at our clinic will surely satisfy you in every aspect.

Recovery

After a surgery of 6 to 8 hours, the recovery time of Follicular Unit Extraction hair transplantation surgery is relatively short, owing to the fact that no scar is produced with this technique. Some swelling and discoloration may occur, although every such side-effect should subside in 10-14 days.
