WHY CHOOSE A FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT?
Choosing FUE for your hair transplant offers numerous advantages that set it apart from other procedures. There is no linear scar with FUE and no sutures or stitches, unlike the FUT procedure where you will have a linear scar at the back of your head. You can expect a quicker recovery than other hair transplant procedures. Most patients can return to work within a few days, allowing them to resume their daily activities even sooner. It is advisable to rest and recover at home for a few days following your hair transplant. Since FUE Hair Transplants are performed under local anesthesia and it is a minimally invasive procedure, the level of pain and discomfort is minimal and varies by individual. Multiple post-op visits are not necessary, but you are encouraged to come in for complimentary follow-up visits to measure your progress and ensure rapid and natural recovery and healing.

FUE is performed under local anesthesia in a clinic setting, much like a dental office. Most patients tolerate local anesthesia very well unless you have predisposed allergies which you should communicate to your surgeon. You can nap, relax, converse, watch a movie/TV, or chat with our team during your FUE procedure. You can also take bathroom and meal breaks.
With FUE procedure you can expect a quicker recovery than other hair transplant procedures. Most patients can return to work within a few days, allowing them to resume their daily activities even sooner. It is advisable to rest and recover at home for a few days following your hair transplant.

FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction. Individual hair follicles (naturally occurring groups of one to four hairs) are manually extracted from the patient’s scalp. These extracted follicles are then implanted into bald or thinning areas around the head.
The duration varies based on the technique (FUE or FUT) and the number of grafts needed. FUE sessions typically take several hours, while FUT may take longer due to strip harvesting and graft dissection.
Local anesthesia is used during the procedure, so you won’t feel pain. Some discomfort or mild soreness may occur afterward, but it’s manageable by taking Tylenol.
Transplanted hair sheds initially, but new growth begins within a few months. Full results usually appear after 9-12 months.
FUE is considered safe, with minor possible side effects such as tiny white scars where follicles were extracted. In extremely rare cases, there can be infection or tissue death at the surgical site. Temporary side effects like swelling, bruising, and sensitivity may occur but usually resolve within a few days.
You can wash your hair as early as 3 days after hair transplant without massaging your scalp. After 7 days you can shampoo and wash your hair while gently massaging your scalp. After 2 weeks you can resume regular showers.
