FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplants use your own natural hair follicles, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result. Because the grafts are taken from your own scalp, they blend perfectly with your existing hair in terms of texture, colour, and growth pattern. Once the transplanted hair takes root, it continues to grow naturally just like the rest of your hair. This makes FUE one of the most reliable methods for restoring hair loss with authentic, undetectable results.

FUE hair transplants are performed as a day procedure, meaning there is no need for a hospital stay or general anaesthetic. The treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic, ensuring that you remain awake and comfortable throughout, without any of the risks associated with general anaesthesia. You will be able to go home the same day and begin your recovery immediately, making it a convenient and stress-free option for hair restoration.

Unlike older transplant techniques that left noticeable scars, FUE uses a micro punch tool to extract individual follicles. This method leaves tiny, dot-like marks that are virtually invisible once healed. In the vast majority of cases, there is no noticeable scarring, even with short haircuts. This makes FUE an excellent choice for those who want the freedom to wear their hair short or shaved in the future without worrying about visible scars. 

The hair follicles used in FUE transplants are taken from areas of the scalp that are naturally resistant to DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), the hormone responsible for male pattern baldness. Because these grafts do not respond to DHT in the same way as the rest of the scalp, they remain strong and resistant to future hair loss. This means that once implanted, your new hair should continue to grow permanently, providing a long-term solution to hair thinning and baldness.

FUE is a well-established, minimally invasive procedure with an excellent safety record. The technique has been refined over the years to maximise the survival rate of grafts, with the majority of transplanted follicles successfully growing new hair. With experienced surgeons and proper post-operative care, patients can expect high success rates and a natural-looking, full head of hair. FUE remains one of the most effective and trusted hair restoration techniques available today.
