FUE is a very popular hair transplantation technique in recent years. This is a more modern and improvised form of procedure derived from FUT technique. In this era, advancements in trichology and hair care technology have allowed us to offer transplants in various spectrums tailored individually to fulfill your needs. In FUE surgery we will first trim patient’s hair to an appropriate length for extraction. Then we will inject local anesthesia to ensure the patient's comfort throughout the surgery. Once the anesthesia sets in we will start to extract hair grafts from the scalp in the donor area and implant them into the recipient area. The extracting process is also called harvesting. We harvest a number of grafts from the donor area according to the requirement; it might vary from 2000 to 2500 grafts in FUE technique. After the extraction, grafts are immediately transferred to a container of saline and kept at a cool temperature. Then the doctor proceeds to create as many slits as needed to fit the extracted grafts in the recipient area. This procedure will be done in reverse order sometimes based on the donor quantity and the recipient area that needs to be covered.
