Will people notice I had a transplant?

In the first weeks redness and scabs may be visible. Once healed, a well-designed result is intended to look natural, though this varies.

How many grafts will I need?

It depends on the area to be covered, the desired density and your donor capacity. A specialist estimates this after assessment.

Is FUE suitable for women?

It can be, but female hair loss often has different causes and patterns, so a medical evaluation is particularly important.

Hair Transplant

FUE Hair Transplant

Individual follicle extraction technique.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a hair transplant technique in which individual follicular units are removed from a donor area — usually the back and sides of the scalp — and implanted into thinning or bald areas.

Treatment overview

Because follicles are taken one by one, FUE leaves small, scattered dot-like marks rather than a linear scar. The design of the hairline and the number of grafts are planned for each person.

Common purposes

Restoring density in areas affected by pattern hair loss
Reconstructing or refining the hairline
Treating some scars or areas of stable hair loss

Who may be suitable?

People with stable hair loss and a sufficient donor area
Those whose hair loss pattern has been assessed by a specialist
People with realistic expectations about density and coverage
Some causes of hair loss require medical treatment instead of, or before, a transplant

Suitability is always decided by a specialist after reviewing your health and examining you.

Treatment process

01
Before treatment
Photos of your scalp from several angles allow an initial assessment. On the day, the hairline and recipient areas are marked and agreed with you.
02
Treatment day
Under local anaesthesia, follicles are extracted from the donor area and placed in the recipient channels. The procedure generally takes most of the day.
03
After treatment
Small scabs form in the recipient area and the donor area heals. You receive detailed instructions for the first washes and sleeping position.
04
Follow-up
Transplanted hairs commonly shed in the early weeks before new growth begins. Progress is assessed over many months.

Expectations & recovery

Redness and mild swelling are common at first.

Sport, sun exposure and swimming are usually limited for a period advised by your team.

Growth timing and final density differ between individuals.

Results and recovery vary from person to person. No outcome can be guaranteed.

Risks & considerations

Potential benefits

Uses your own hair, so results look natural when well planned
No linear donor scar
Transplanted follicles are generally resistant to pattern hair loss

Risks & considerations

The donor supply is limited and must be managed for the long term
Possible risks include infection, folliculitis, numbness or poor graft survival
Native hair may continue to thin, which can affect the long-term look
Further sessions or medical therapy may be recommended
