Using a specialised punch tool, the surgeon carefully extracts individual hair follicles from the back and sides of the scalp, where hair growth is strongest.
One by one, the surgeon implants the harvested follicles into tiny recipient sites created in the target area. This is a meticulous, time-intensive process.
The extracted follicles are then carefully cleaned and prepared for implantation in the thinning or balding areas of the scalp.
Like any surgical procedure, FUE carries some risks and potential side effects, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and temporary shock loss (shedding of transplanted and some natural hairs). However, these are relatively rare and can be minimised by choosing an experienced clinic.
The FUE procedure itself is not painful due to local anaesthesia used during the extraction and implantation process. Patients may experience some discomfort or mild pain during recovery, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
Yes, the results of an FUE hair transplant are generally permanent. The transplanted hair follicles are resistant to the effects of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which is the hormone responsible for most types of hair loss.
Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to work and normal activities within a few days. Minor swelling, redness, and scabbing in the donor and recipient areas are common and usually subside within a week to ten days.
