Hair restoration
with the FUE technique
Hair restoration with Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE is the best opportunity to recover your hair.
FUE is an effective, minimally invasive, and painless system to restore hair naturally. The treatment consists of transplanting your hair from a healthy area to implant it in a recipient area.
After the FUE hair transplant, the hair will grow again. It’s one of the most popular treatments for alopecia in men and women.
Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE, is a hair transplant procedure for individuals with hair loss due to genetics, aging, or certain medical conditions.
How does the FUE treatment work?
FUE treatment involves transferring hair from a donor area, typically the back of the head, to the balding areas of the head.
- The FUE treatment removes individual follicular units (containing 1-4 hairs) from the donor area.
- Then, the surgeons transplant the follicles to the balding areas.
- The procedure has several advantages because hairs in the donor area are more resistant to the effects of aging and hormones than the hairs in the balding area.
- After transferring them, they continue to grow, providing a natural-looking result.
What you should know before your treatment
- FUE stands for follicular unit extraction.
- It’s a technique where individual follicles are removed from the donor site and transplanted to the balding area.
- By extracting individual follicles, the doctor can ensure they are of the highest quality and health.
- The new hair will have a more durable and longer-lasting result.
- The hair will also look more natural and suited to the individual’s hair type.
- The grafts will heal faster, reducing the healing time and resulting in minimal scarring.
- The most common areas for treatment are headline, eyebrow, beard, and head.
- Regularly, the most affected areas are the forehead and the top of the head.
- Besides, you can combine the FUE hair transplant with other treatments to strengthen your hair.
- You can benefit from Mesotherapy to strengthen and stimulate hair growth.
Who is a candidate for Hair transplant with Follicular Unit Extraction
