Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a more advanced method of hair transplant. method of obtaining donor hair for transplantation. Instead of removing a strip of hair-bearing skin from the donor area with FUT, the hair is individually removed using a special punch tool ranging in diameter from 0.06-0.09mm. This method leaves no scar tissue and does make recovery quicker.
Hair is then meticulously implanted back into the balding area in a naturally occurring gradient to give the most natural look. Due to the inherent nature of the grafts being implanted, it does take more time to perform than FUT.
Both methods are performed using advanced microscopes and under local anaesthetic to minimise post-procedure recovery.
Although both methods are minimally invasive we would suggest you take a minimum of 3 days off after your procedure to allow time for the grafts to settle.
