Technique 01
FUE — follicular unit extraction
In the FUE method, individual follicular units containing 1 to 4 hairs are extracted using tiny punches of between 0.6mm and 1mm in diameter from the donor area. Each follicle is then placed into recipient sites in the balding area of the scalp using a fine needle instrument, where the follicles grow into healthy hair.
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia. After transplantation the hair continues to grow for a lifetime — it can be shampooed, groomed and cut normally. The small openings left behind after extraction heal in a few days, leaving scar-less skin.
Advantages of FUE
- No stitches
- No infection to skin
- No linear visible scars
- Painless
- No tightness in donor area
- Less tenderness over donor area
- Blood loss is minimal
- Decreased healing time in the donor area
- No limitations on strenuous exercise afterwards
