FUE

Follicular Unit Extraction

The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique leaves less scars, therefore is the most popular technique in hair transplantation.

​

Despite the technique being presented as a no-scar solution; if too many hair follicles are extracted from the donor area, remaining hair on the lower back of the head is likely to lose density due to the reduced follicle numbers. The race to complete the procedure fast, the extraction being done without the use of surgical magnifying glasses and the lack of doctors performing this procedure increase this risk.

​

Due to the technique becoming the most popular technique in the most recent years, there has been an increase in the number of people, who are not medical doctors, performing this procedure for a fraction of the cost. These individuals claim to transplant a high number of follicles in one session (the patient is usually never told the real number) and offer a cheap price, resulting in people choosing these places over real professionals.

​

Always keep in mind that the extreme use of hair from the donor area could result in an irrevocable hair loss.
