What is FUE? As hair transplant techniques have improved, so has patient experience. FUE’s highly popular technique is performed by using a small round punch to extract follicular hair units one at a time. FUE works on a microscopic level, extracting follicles (1-4 hairs per follicle) from a region of the head that has healthy hair and is “bald resistant,” most typically from the back of the head. A SmartGraft physician then implants these micro-hair grafts into targeted regions, producing the most natural, healthy results. Because FUE removes individual hair or follicular units “one at a time” from the posterior donor harvesting site, there is no noticeable linear scarring, such as that with FUT, or Follicular Unit Transplantation. The hair is taken from an area of the head that is resistant to baldness, usually the back and sides of the scalp. The extremely small wound left by the hair follicle extraction heals within a
few days and is usually undetectable, even in areas where the hair has been cut shorter in order to perform the extraction. The extracted hairs are grouped in follicular unit grafts and then transplanted into the area experiencing hair loss. The hairs are placed into recipient sites, balding or thinning hair areas of the scalp, using expert precision. It is important to choose a highly skilled physician in order to ensure a
successful hair transplant.
