FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)

FUE is a minimally invasive surgical hair transplant procedure. During FUE, individual follicular units (groups of 1-4 hairs) are extracted from the donor area (usually the back of the scalp) using a small punch tool. These extracted follicles are then meticulously transplanted into tiny recipient sites created in the balding area.

Pros: FUE leaves minimal scarring in the donor area, making it a good option for those who prefer shorter hairstyles.

Cons: FUE is generally a more expensive and time-consuming procedure compared to FUT.

Alternatives: FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), SMP (Scalp Micropigmentation)

Recovery Time: The scalp will be sore for a few days after the procedure. Most patients can return to work within a week, but strenuous activity should be avoided for several weeks.

Disclaimer: FUE is a surgical procedure with potential risks like infection, bleeding, and scarring.
