Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is one of the latest advancements of hair transplantation. FUE differs from the strip surgery by the method of harvesting the donor area. For those patients who prefer to avoid the donor scar from the strip surgery may take advantage of the FUE procedure. Follicular unit extraction prcedure is actually relatively simple. It relies on a guided extractor that makes minute incisions (under 1 millimeter in size) around individual follicular units from the back of your head. Suction is used to remove the units (this reduces handling and increases transplanted graft survival), which are then placed in prepared areas on the front of your scalp.

Is FUE right for me?

Dr. Nadeem’s FUE system is an exciting new approach for treating hair loss, but it might not be right for everyone. An initial assessment will be required to determine if this is the right procedure for you, based on your type of hair loss and other considerations. Although follicular unit extraction is a great surgery, not all patients are good candidates for it. During the consultation this option is explored in depth where the pros and cons of this type of surgery versus the strip surgery are discussed.

However, for the vast majority of hair loss patients we treat, the FUE technique is the ideal solution. It offers a significant number of benefits over the older strip harvesting technique, including:

• Faster completion time
• No linear scarring (hair can be worn very short without having to worry)
• Less recovery time and fewer restrictions on activities after treatment
• No stitches required
• Higher graft survival rate compared to manual FUE extraction
• Maximizes donor hair for harvesting
• No cut, no pain and also no scar
