What is FUE (Follicular Unit Extract)?

FUE hair transplant London

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is one of the most recent technology hair transplant methods used for hair loss treatment.

FUE hair transplant involves removing healthy hair follicles/follicular transplant units one at a time from donor areas, which is usually the back or between the two ears. Then they are transplanted into the balding or thinning areas. FUE hair transplant, unlike FUT, is minimally invasive and does not require stitches.

According to the ISHRS over 90% of hair-transplant professionals prefer FUE. This is because there are no stitches and it doesn’t leave scarring. FUE Hair Transplant has been called a “minimally invasive modern technique for hair transplantation” worldwide.

FUE hair transplants are more expensive than FUT because each hair follicle in FUE is removed one at a time. FUE hair transplants are more labor-intensive than FUT. FUE hair transplants are more expensive in countries with high labour costs. Patients who can’t afford them are advised to get a FUT transplant.

The United Kingdom is one country where labour costs are extremely high in comparison to other countries, such as Turkey. This is evident in the price of an FUE hair transplant.

Would you prefer a painless experience with a hair transplant?
Would you prefer to have a less invasive hair transplant?
Would you prefer to have a hair-transplant that doesn't leave any visible scarring?

Extracting
FUE Hair Transplants involve the collection of hair follicles from your donor area one at a time. A micromotor punch or manual punch are used to do this.

Follicles that are damaged may not be able to grow or can become ineffective for transplantation. It is important to have an experienced medical staff perform your FUE Hair Transplant.

Canal Opening

It is important to keep in mind the direction of existing hairs when making holes or slits in the recipient area. To achieve a natural-looking, natural-looking hair transplant, it is important to consider the angle of hair growth. This step should only be done by an experienced medical staff.
