FUE Hair Transplant
When hair loss and hair thinning are associated with social stress and cause an impact on one’s personal or professional life and when conservative treatments are not sufficient, then FUE hair transplantation provides the ultimate and definitive solution. And as more and more people find hair transplantation the answer to their hair loss problem, hair transplantation is no longer a taboo.
FUE hair transplantation is now considered the leading technique for a completely natural and permanent result. It is always combined with conservative treatment to maximise the result and has been developed and simplified to such an extent that the patient can return to their activities almost immediately, with no visible signs to indicate that they have undergone a hair implant session.
FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT
What it is
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), or the method of hair transplantation by transferring individual hair follicles, was first applied in 2003 and since then it has been developed and perfected.
Follicular Unit Extraction is the most modern method of hair implantation and tends to prevail worldwide as it is minimally invasive.
It is a difficult and demanding technique for the doctors who perform it. In order for the result to be successful, considerable experience is required from the medical team, resulting from many years of practice and application of the method in many cases with different requirements.

Advantages
The advantages of FUE hair transplantation over the older FUT or Strip technique are numerous and significant, contributing to the establishment of the former and the gradual displacement of the latter. Here’s why and how it outperforms the older methods.
- Is minimally invasive, it is performed under local anesthesia, has minimum downtime and allows quick recovery.
- Leads to minimal or even no bleeding.
- Does not leave any permanent linear scars in the donor area.
- Has minimum or even no postoperative pain.
- Requires no sutures thus the chances of infections are minimized.
- Enables uniform use of the donor area.
- Allows the accurate calculation of the extracted hair follicles and the reuse of the donor area for a future operation.
- Leads to minimal complications (i.e. facial swelling).
- Allows hair extraction from body areas such as chest, back or beard without leaving any linear scars behind.
- Is suitable both for limited (e.g. eyebrow) and large body areas, without scarring. On the contrary, FUT- Strip method necessitates a skin’s strip removal and application of sutures even in small areas.
