Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is an incredibly effective hair transplant procedure for those experiencing hair loss. Unlike traditional methods that involve cutting a strip of hair from the scalp, Follicular Unit Extraction utilizes a small patent-pending instrument to carefully extract individual hair grafts from the donor site, which are then seamlessly transplanted onto the scalp. FUE involves making tiny circular incisions around the upper part of the follicular unit, allowing for the direct extraction of hair grafts without leaving a linear scar. While a few scattered circular scars may remain in the donor area, they are minimal in size and hardly noticeable.

When it comes to the extraction and removal of follicular units from the scalp, every patient has a unique response. While some individuals might encounter damaged hair follicles, others may experience a low transaction rate. Additionally, the nature of one’s hair can greatly influence the process. For instance, straight hair tends to be more straightforward to extract compared to curly hair.
