How FUE works
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a hair transplant technique designed to restore natural hair growth in areas affected by hair loss. Here's how it works:
Step 1
Consultation and planning
The process begins with a comprehensive consultation with our doctor. During this initial assessment, we will evaluate the extent of your hair loss, discuss your aesthetic goals and develop a personalised treatment plan.
Step 2
Harvesting donor hair
In FUE, donor hair is extracted individually from the back or sides of the scalp, where hair is genetically resistant to balding. Using a microneedle, we will gently remove individual follicular units, typically containing one to four hairs each. This extraction process is precise and minimally invasive, leaving tiny, nearly invisible scars that heal quickly.
Step 3
Preparation of recipient sites
Once an adequate number of follicular units are harvested, we will prepare the recipient sites in the balding or thinning areas of the scalp. These recipient sites are meticulously created to accommodate the transplanted follicular units and ensure natural-looking results.
Step 4
Implantation of grafts
The harvested follicular units are then carefully implanted into the recipient sites using specialised instruments. We will strategically place the grafts to mimic the natural growth pattern of your hair, ensuring a seamless and aesthetically pleasing outcome. The survival rate of grafts ranges from 90 to 99%.
Step 5
Post-procedure care
Following the FUE procedure, you will be provided with detailed instructions for post-operative care. These include guidelines on washing your scalp, avoiding strenuous activities and attending follow-up appointments to monitor the progress of your hair growth.
Step 6
Recovery and results
While initial redness and swelling are common after FUE, most patients can resume their normal activities within a few days. Over the coming weeks and months, your transplanted hair follicles should gradually take root and begin to grow, producing natural-looking hair that blends seamlessly with your existing hair.
How are the results of FUE permanent?
The transplanted hair follicles are genetically resistant to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is responsible for hair loss in certain individuals. Once the transplanted hair follicles take root and begin to grow, they will continue to produce hair for a lifetime.
Cost and downtime
The cost of your FUE will depend on the total number of grafts your hair loss requires. You can opt to fully or partially shave your hair or not shave it at all. Based on this, your downtime will vary

Should you get FUE? 3 questions to ask yourself
1
Implantation of grafts
FUE would require you to rest at home for 1-2 weeks and avoid strenuous exercise. You would also need to be comfortable having visible grafts on your head during your recovery.
2
Have you tried non-surgical alternatives?
Some topical treatments may work well for hair loss, especially if it’s not in a severe state. If such treatments fail, FUE would be a good solution.
3
Are you alright with some side effects?
It is common for patients to experience some pain and swelling after FUE. You will need to be comfortable with such side effects for the duration of your treatment.
Benefits of FUE
- Minimally invasive
- No linear strips of noticeable scarring
