In FUE, grafts are taken one by one from the loss-resistant donor area at the back of the head and placed into small channels in the bald area. There is no linear scar. Transplanted hairs shed in the first weeks and regrow after a few months; results are judged at about one year.
Candidates
Male pattern hair loss, receding hairline, brow and beard thinning and scars. Donor density and progression decide suitability; diffuse thinning in women needs investigation.
Procedure
Under local anaesthesia over several hours: hairline design, extraction, channel opening at natural angles and placement.
Recovery
Crusts fall off in 10–14 days, shock shedding at 2–6 weeks, regrowth from month 3–4 and final result around month 12.
Risks
Infection, folliculitis, numbness, donor over-harvesting and lower graft survival. Medication may be needed for ongoing loss.
Frequently asked questions
FUE or FUT?
FUE extracts grafts individually without a linear scar; FUT removes a strip and leaves a fine line.
Do transplanted hairs fall out?
Shedding in the first weeks is normal; new hair grows after a few months.
