FUE Hair Transplant
Follicular Unit Extraction — the gold-standard technique
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is the most widely used modern hair transplant technique — individual hair follicles are extracted one at a time from a donor area and implanted into thinning or balding areas, leaving no linear scar.
Because each follicle is placed individually, our surgeons can control direction, angle and density precisely, replicating a natural growth pattern rather than an obviously 'transplanted' look.
Key Benefits
- No linear scarring, unlike older strip-harvesting methods
- Natural-looking hairline and density
- Faster healing than traditional FUT technique
- Suitable for beard, eyebrow and scalp restoration
Is This Treatment Right For You?
- Patients with male or female pattern hair loss
- Those with sufficient donor hair density
- Anyone wanting a scar-minimal transplant technique
What to Expect
Consultation & Hairline Design
Donor density and desired hairline shape are assessed and planned.
Follicle Extraction
Individual follicles are extracted from the donor area using a fine punch tool.
Recipient Site Creation
Tiny incisions are made in the recipient area at the correct angle and density.
Graft Placement
Extracted follicles are carefully implanted into the recipient sites.
Recovery & Aftercare
Scabbing resolves within about 10 days; transplanted hair sheds initially before new growth begins around 3-4 months, with fuller results at 9-12 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is FUE painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so discomfort during the procedure is minimal; mild soreness afterward is normal.
When will I see final results?
Transplanted hair typically sheds within a few weeks before regrowing; full, mature results are usually visible at 9-12 months.
Will there be a visible scar?
FUE leaves only tiny, scattered dot scars in the donor area that are easily concealed even with short hair.
