In FUE, follicles are taken one by one from the back and sides of the head with a micro motor and placed in the thinning area. No linear scar is left at the donor site.

The frontal hairline frames the face; an age-appropriate, slightly irregular line is the key to a natural look. Because donor capacity is limited, planning considers not only today’s thinning but possible future loss.

Preparation and procedure

  1. Consultation

    Hair-loss pattern and donor density are measured; the hairline is drawn.

  2. Procedure

  3. First wash

    Done at the clinic on day 2; the washing technique is shown.

  4. Check-ups

Questions about this procedure

All questions
Why do transplanted hairs fall out?
Shedding of some transplanted hairs in the first month is expected; the follicle stays in place. New hairs start growing from the fourth month.
