Follicular Unit Extraction

FUE, which stands for Follicular Unit Extraction, is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique used to address hair loss in men and women.

Process

Individual Follicle Extraction: Unlike strip harvesting, the older technique, FUE involves extracting individual follicular units (groups of 1-4 hairs) directly from the donor area, typically the back and sides of the scalp.
Minimal Scarring: Since only tiny extraction sites are created, FUE leaves minimal scarring, making it a desirable option for those who want a more natural-looking hairline.
Implantation: The extracted follicular units are carefully implanted into the recipient sites with minimal manipulation.

Benefits:

Less Invasive: Compared to strip harvesting, FUE is a less invasive procedure with shorter recovery time and minimal scarring.
Natural-Looking Results: The use of individual follicular units allows for a more natural and personalized hairline design.
Donor Area Flexibility: Hair follicles can be extracted from various scalp areas, providing more options for harvesting.
Suitable for Most Hair Types: FUE is generally suitable for most hair types, including those with short or curly hair.

Things to Consider with FUE:

Longer Procedure Time: Extracting individual follicles takes more time than strip harvesting, so FUE procedures can be longer.
Experience Matters: The success of FUE relies heavily on the surgeon’s skill and experience. Choosing a qualified and experienced FUE specialist is crucial. In Miami Lakes Medical Center we guarantee 100 % patient satisfaction.
