Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) represents the gold standard in modern surgical hair restoration. By extracting individual follicular units (containing 1 to 4 hairs) directly from the safe donor zones at the back and sides of the scalp, FUE eliminates the need for linear donor scars, offering natural results with fast recovery times.
The FUE Extraction Protocol
Our advanced FUE process relies on precision micro-punch technology. Instead of using generic automated drills that risk donor zone depletion, we utilize specialized hand-held micro-punches (ranging from 0.7mm to 0.85mm in diameter).
This micro-punch diameter minimizes circular scarring and preserves the surrounding capillary network. The extracted grafts are immediately placed in a chilled, nutrient-rich holding medium containing biotin and growth factors to maximize survival rates before implantation.

Individual grafts are extracted manually and sorted under digital stereomicroscopes.
4. Micro-Implantation
Grafts are meticulously placed into pre-angled micro-channels to achieve natural flow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about this treatment.
Unlike the older FUT strip method which leaves a long horizontal scar, FUE leaves tiny dot scars at the donor site that are virtually invisible, even with short haircuts.
Most patients return to light desk work within 3 to 4 days. Tiny scabs at the recipient site dry up and fall off naturally by Day 7 to 10.
