About FUE Hair Transplant
What is an FUE hair transplant?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a modern, minimally invasive hair transplant technique. It involves individually removing healthy hair follicles from a donor area, usually the back or sides of the scalp, and transplanting them into thinning areas such as the temples or crown.
This advanced approach delivers natural-looking results that blend seamlessly with existing hair, creating an age-appropriate hairline with minimal scarring. FUE also offers a faster recovery than older methods, allowing greater flexibility with hairstyles.
How does an FUE hair transplant work?
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic to ensure comfort, with optional sedation for those who feel anxious.
Using a tiny punch tool, hair grafts are carefully extracted from the donor area. These small extraction sites heal quickly and leave little to no visible scarring. The grafts are then implanted into precise incisions in the thinning areas, with careful attention to angle, depth, and direction to achieve a natural result.
Why choose an FUE hair transplant?
- The most popular hair transplant method for men and women
- Virtually scar-free, allowing very short hairstyles
- Faster and easier recovery compared to FUT
- Natural-looking results, with visible growth in around 6 months
- Completed in less than a day
- High success rates when performed by experienced surgeons
This technique offers an effective, discreet, and long-lasting solution for hair restoration.
What is FUE suitable for?
FUE is suitable for all types of hair restoration surgery, including beards, eyebrows, and hair across your temples and crown.
FUE success depends mostly on the surgeon skills and experience.
FUE Frequently Asked Questions
Can I design my own hairline?
We work closely with every patient to design a natural, age-appropriate hairline that enhances your appearance and boosts confidence. Your desired look is always considered, but we also take a realistic approach based on your level of hair loss and the availability of donor hair. Overly aggressive or unrealistic hairlines often lead to disappointment, so we’re always honest and transparent about what results you can expect from your hair transplant.
How long does FUE procedure take?
In most cases, surgery takes between 6 and 8 hours. The more grafts you need, the longer the procedure will take.
Most people can resume their normal activities around 7-14 days after FUE surgery. During this time, you’ll need to take a few days off work and avoid strenuous exercise.
Will I need to take time off work?
Yes. To make sure your hair transplant is a success, you should take at least a couple of days off work to recover. If you’re feeling well, you can go back to work after 3 days.
How many procedures will I need?
70% of those who have a hair transplant get the results they want after a single procedure. Other people may need two or even three hair transplants to achieve their desired look.
Who will perform the FUE procedure?
At Praxis Hair, your procedure will be performed by a registered surgeon. They’ll be accompanied by skilled technicians who will support them throughout the procedure.
Are there any side effects to FUE?
The main side effects of FUE are swelling, itchiness, numbness, and slight soreness. These are usually mild and go away by themselves within a week or so.
Will I need to shave my head for FUE?
At most clinics, you’ll need to shave your head before you can have FUE. Shaving your donor area is done in all the clinics. Shaving the recipient area is up to the patient preference.
