FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction. It is a popular and minimally invasive hair transplantation technique in which individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) and transplanted to the balding or thinning areas.

Key Features of FUE Technique:

• Individual Follicle Extraction: Hair follicles are removed one by one using a small punch tool (usually 0.6–1.0 mm in diameter), leaving tiny round scars that are barely visible.

• No Linear Scar: Unlike the older FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) method, FUE doesn’t involve cutting a strip of scalp, so there’s no linear scar.

• Natural-Looking Results: Proper placement and angling of the grafts ensure a realistic hairline and natural appearance.

• Faster Healing Time: Since the method is less invasive, patients typically recover more quickly with minimal discomfort.

• Suitable for Small to Moderate Hair Loss: FUE is ideal for patients who want a less noticeable donor area and are experiencing limited to moderate hair loss.
