What Is FUE?
FUE involves harvesting individual hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp) and implanting them into thinning or balding areas. Each follicle is placed with precision to mimic natural growth patterns.
Unlike older techniques, FUE:
- Leaves no linear scar
- Heals quickly
- Produces natural density
- Allows for short hairstyles
What Happens Before the Procedure?
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we:
- Assess hair loss pattern
- Calculate graft requirements
- Evaluate donor density
- Discuss expectations
- Design a personalised hairline
Every plan is bespoke. No two hairlines are the same.
During the Procedure
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and typically lasts 6–8 hours. Patients remain comfortable throughout.
Steps include:
- Donor area preparation
- Follicle extraction
- Channel creation
- Precision implantation
Patients can listen to music, watch a show, or rest during the procedure.
Recovery & Results
- Mild redness and swelling for a few days
- Scabs fall off within 7–10 days
- Temporary shedding in weeks 2–4
- Visible regrowth from month 3
- Full results at 9–12 months
The transplanted hair is permanent.
