Follicular Hair Extraction (FUE) Hair Transplant is a minimally invasive procedure whereby groups of hair follicles are harvested from ‘donor areas’ and transplanted onto balding ‘recipient areas’ of the scalp. As the only permanent solution for hair loss available today, FUE Hair Transplant offers clients a reassuring 90% success rate.
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplants restore hair by replacing old and defunct hair follicles with healthy follicles that are still able to grow hair. Once harvested and transplanted, these new follicles will begin growing hair in previously thinning or balding areas on the scalp.
The main goal of this procedure is to cause hair in donor areas to regrow and look thicker and fuller.
As FUE technology significantly reduces the risk of developing an unnatural ‘hair plug’ look, it has become more popular than FUT.
Additionally, FUE, unlike FUT, does not cause large, linear strips of noticeable scarring. Whether you are balding or have thinning hair, as long as you have sufficient hair to use for a transplant, you are a good candidate for FUE Hair Transplant. Conversely, those who do not have enough healthy, dense donor hair might not be able to achieve optimal results from the procedure.
The graft survival rate for FUE ranges from 90 to 99% (It is 75% for FUT). This precise and innovative method causes less trauma to hair follicles, thus producing fuller, thicker, and healthier hair.
Unlike with older methods, there is little pain after an FUE procedure. With the use of local anaesthesia, most clients either report that drugstore pain-alleviating medicines are more than enough for staying comfortable after their procedure, or zero pain at all.
FUT helps regrow hair, but at the cost of a noticeable and linear scar. If you’d like to wear your hair short, FUE is an exceptional solution, as extraction sites during the procedure are miniscule (1mm and below).Any resulting scarring is often imperceptible, and heals within days.
As a FUE Hair Transplant is performed under local anaesthesia, you can conveniently drive yourself to and from your appointment. Most clients can resume their daily activities after the procedure. Furthermore, you won’t have any staples or stitches to worry about.
The total time required for each procedure depends on the number of grafts needed. Most individuals need 500 to 2,000 grafts, or up to 3,000 grafts in cases of male pattern baldness.

What to expect?
for FUE Hair Transplant
Understanding our human hair anatomy allows us to achieve a higher success rate in reversing hair loss condition.
Cells in the root of your hair rapidly divide for new hair to form. Hair grows about half an inch a month. This phase lasts an average of 3-5 years.
Active hair growth ceases, and individual hairs separate from the hair follicle. This phase lasts for about 10 days.
Hair strands remain in their follicles for about 3 months before falling off to make way for new hair follicles. After which, losing about 50-100 strands of hair per day is normal. Hair loss may occur when this growth cycle is disrupted. If your hair is not growing as long or fast as it used to be, you may be experiencing a disruption in your hair growth cycle for various reasons. Speak to us for a solution.
