FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant is a popular technique for hair restoration. Here's a brief overview:
Extraction: Individual hair follicles are removed from the donor area (typically the back of the head) using a micro-punch tool, which leaves tiny, almost unnoticeable scars.
Implantation: The extracted follicles are then implanted into the thinning or balding areas of the scalp. Each follicle is placed into tiny incisions made in the recipient area.
Benefits of FUE
Minimally Invasive: Causes less scarring and requires shorter recovery time compared to traditional strip methods.
Natural Results: Allows for precise placement of hair follicles, leading to a natural-looking hairline and growth pattern.
No Linear Scar: Unlike the FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) method, FUE doesn't leave a large linear scar, making it suitable for those who prefer shorter hairstyles.
Considerations
Time-Consuming: The procedure can take longer due to the individual extraction and implantation of follicles.
Cost: It can be more expensive than other methods because of the time and skill required.
Expertise Required: Success largely depends on the skill and experience of the surgeon.
FUE is a highly effective and widely used method for hair restoration, offering natural results with minimal downtime and scarring.

The length of the procedure will depend on the number of grafts being transplanted, but most procedures take several hours to complete.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the procedure. After the procedure, you may experience some discomfort, but this can be managed with pain medication.
It can take several months to see the full results of a hair transplant. Initially, the transplanted hair may fall out, but it should start to regrow within a few months.
Like any surgical procedure, a hair transplant carries some risks, such as infection, bleeding, scarring, and nerve damage. However, these risks are rare and can be minimized by choosing a qualified and experienced surgeon.
