FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is an advanced hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted directly from the donor area and transplanted into areas affected by thinning or hair loss. The donor area is typically located at the back and sides of the scalp, where hair is genetically more resistant to balding.
Unlike traditional strip methods, FUE does not involve removing a strip of scalp. Instead, each follicular unit is carefully extracted one by one using specialised micro-instruments before being implanted into the recipient area with precision and attention to natural hair growth patterns.
FUE is widely chosen by patients looking for a minimally invasive procedure, shorter healing time, and the flexibility to wear shorter hairstyles without a visible linear scar.
Natural Results Tailored to You
A successful hair transplant is not simply about moving hair — it is about creating results that look natural both now and in the future.
During an FUE procedure, every graft is strategically placed to recreate a natural hairline, appropriate density, and soft, natural-looking growth. Careful planning is essential to ensure the transplanted hair blends seamlessly with your existing hair while taking long-term hair loss into consideration.
Because transplanted follicles are taken from permanent donor areas, the results are designed to be long-lasting and permanent.
