FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a hair transplant technique that involves removing individual hair follicles from the donor area, usually at the back or sides of the scalp, and transplanting them to the balding or thinning areas. The FUE technique is different from the traditional strip method, which involves removing a strip of skin from the donor area, from which the hair follicles are harvested.
In the FUE technique, the surgeon uses a small, circular tool called a punch to make tiny incisions around each hair follicle. The hair follicles are then extracted one by one using forceps or a suction device. Once the hair follicles are extracted, the surgeon makes tiny incisions in the recipient area, and the hair follicles are carefully inserted into these incisions.
The FUE technique is a very special technique that provides the highest quality grafting and minimal scarring. It is the technique most used by those who want to have a natural look. It is suitable for both men and women.
The recovery time after an FUE procedure is relatively short, and patients can usually return to their normal activities within a few days. The transplanted hair usually falls out within a few weeks of the procedure, but new hair growth typically begins within three to four months, with full results visible after about a year.
Overall, the FUE technique is a safe and effective hair transplant method that produces natural-looking results with minimal scarring and a short recovery time.
