Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique designed to restore hair to areas that are thinning or balding. At Unique Cosmetology, we understand that hair loss can significantly impact your confidence. Our FUE procedure is tailored to meet your individual needs, starting with a comprehensive consultation to assess your hair loss and discuss your goals.
The FUE process begins with a thorough consultation where our experienced surgeons evaluate your medical history and determine your suitability for the procedure.
During the FUE procedure, individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area, typically located at the back and sides of the scalp. Using a specialized punch tool, our surgeons create small circular incisions around each follicle, allowing for precise removal without the need for stitches.
The extracted follicles are preserved in a solution to maintain their viability until they are ready for implantation.
Once the extraction is complete, tiny incisions are made in the recipient area, where the follicles will be placed. This meticulous process ensures that the transplanted hair grows at the correct angle and direction, resulting in a natural appearance that seamlessly blends with your existing hair.
Recovery Process Including Hair Care and Medications:
After the FUE procedure, the recovery process is relatively quick. Most patients take about 3 to 4 days off work, with full healing taking several weeks.
FUE Transplants offers numerous advantages over traditional hair transplant methods, including:
The technique leaves minimal scarring, with only tiny dot-like marks at the donor site that are often undetectable once healed.
Our ability to design a personalized hairline that complements your facial features ensures a natural look.
Patients typically experience a faster recovery time compared to other methods, allowing them to return to normal activities sooner.
FUE can be performed on various body areas, including the beard, chest, and legs, making it a flexible option for hair restoration.
