Hair Transplant

What is FUE and how is it done?

In FUE, follicular grafts are extracted one by one from the donor area at the back of the scalp using a micromotor. Because there is no strip incision, no visible linear scar remains and the donor area returns to a normal look quickly, even with short hair.

Harvested grafts are implanted following the natural exit angle and direction of your hair. The hairline is designed around your facial features and age, the goal is always a natural, balanced result.

  • No linear scar, minimal-trace donor harvest
  • High graft capacity for dense coverage
  • Natural hairline and direction design

Suitability

Is FUE right for you?

FUE suits people with a sufficiently dense donor area whose hair loss has settled to a defined level. The clear answer comes from the doctor assessing your donor and recipient areas.

  • Male-pattern (androgenetic) loss

Hair growth timeline

Results come over time. The windows below vary from person to person.

  1. 0-3 days

    First days

    Mild redness and small crusts appear in the treated area. This is normal and clears quickly.

  2. 2-4 weeks

    Shock loss

    Most of the transplanted hairs shed. This is expected; the roots stay in place.

  3. 3-4 months

    New growth

    The roots start to produce new hair. The first strands can look thin and grow stronger over time.

  4. 6-9 months

    Filling in

    Hair visibly thickens and grows in its natural direction.

  5. 12 months

    Settling

    The final look usually shows around 12 months. The timing varies from person to person.

Frequently asked questions

Questions on your mind

Will FUE leave a scar?

Because grafts are taken individually there is no linear/strip scar; the tiny dots in the donor area fade quickly.

Is the procedure painful?

It is performed under local anaesthesia, so you feel no pain during the procedure. Mild tenderness afterwards settles within a few days.

When will I see results?

Transplanted hairs shed in the first weeks (shock loss); permanent growth begins over months. The final look varies from person to person but usually settles around 12 months.

How many grafts will I need?

The number depends on your loss pattern and target density; the exact figure is set by the doctor's assessment.
