FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a hair transplant technique that involves the extraction of individual hair follicles from the donor scalp. This technique is considered one of the most advanced and modern methods of hair transplantation.

During the FUE procedure, hair follicles are extracted from the donor’s scalp using a small tool called a punch. The punch is used to remove the hair follicles one by one, taking them directly from the scalp. The donor area is usually at the back or sides of the head, as these areas have a higher density of hair and are less susceptible to hair loss.

Once the hair follicles have been extracted, they are then transplanted into the recipient area where the hair loss is visible. The recipient area is anesthetized and tiny incisions are made to receive the extracted hair follicles. The follicles are then inserted one by one into the incisions, following the direction and angle of the existing hair. This technique creates a very natural appearance of the hair.

FUE is a very precise and minimally invasive hair transplantation technique that generally requires less recovery time than older techniques.
