Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)

What Is FUE Hair Transplant?
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) involves harvesting individual hair follicles from the donor area and implanting them into the bald or thinning areas. It is minimally invasive, causes less scarring, and is preferred over FUT for many patients.
Will My Hair Transplant Be Obvious?
Initially, some redness or minor scarring may be visible, but as your new hair grows in, results will appear natural and blend with your existing hair. Scars typically fade and are easily concealed.
What Are the Benefits of an FUE Hair Transplant?
FUE provides natural-looking results, requires no stitches, has quicker recovery, and leaves tiny, nearly invisible scars. It's suitable for patients who want minimal downtime.
Why Is the FUE Method Superior?
Unlike FUT, which removes a strip of scalp, FUE uses micro-punches to extract grafts, avoiding large scars. It's less invasive and allows harvesting from various body areas if needed.
How Many Grafts Will I Need?
This depends on the bald area's size. More grafts generally offer better coverage. A doctor can evaluate your needs during consultation.
Are FUE Results Permanent?
Yes. Transplanted hair is typically resistant to balding and grows naturally for years. You may lose some hair over time, but regrowth will continue normally.
How Long Does It Take to Recover?
Recovery is usually within two weeks. You may experience mild tenderness, but daily activities can often resume quickly.
When Will My New Hair Start to Grow?
New growth typically begins in 3 to 4 months, with fuller results visible within 9 to 12 months post-surgery.
Does the FUE Procedure Hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so discomfort is minimal. Some swelling or soreness may occur for a few days after.
