What Is a Hair Transplant?
In a hair transplant, healthy hair follicles are taken from the donor area, usually the back or sides of the head, where hair is naturally resistant to fall. They are then implanted into thinning or bald areas, called the recipient area. Because these follicles keep their natural strength, the transplanted hair grows, can be cut and styles just like your own hair.
What Is FUE Hair Transplant?
In Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), our surgeon extracts individual hair follicles with a fine micro-punch and implants them one by one into the balding area. Each graft is placed at the angle and direction of your natural hair growth, so the result looks natural, even up close.
Unlike the strip method (FUT), FUE leaves no linear scar. There are no stitches, healing is faster, and you can keep your hair short with confidence.
Who is FUE for?
- Men with male-pattern baldness (receding hairline, crown thinning)
- Women with thinning or a widening partition
- Patients with a stable, healthy donor area
- People who prefer short hairstyles and want minimal scarring
Tip: Not sure if you're a candidate? Our team also checks your scalp health, and our MD Dermatologist can treat underlying hair-fall causes before surgery.

Ask About EMIYour FUE Procedure, Step by Step
Before surgery, your surgeon explains every detail and answers all your questions. After a scalp examination and hairline design, the donor area is cleaned and trimmed.
Local Anaesthesia
Local anaesthetic (lidocaine) numbs the donor and recipient areas, so you don't feel pain during the procedure.
Graft Harvesting
Individual grafts are extracted with a micro-motorised device and a precise punch, then stored in HypoThermosol FRS solution to keep them healthy.
Recipient Site Creation
Tiny slits are made with a Sapphire Blade, at the right angle, direction and density.
Graft Implantation
Each graft is carefully placed into the slits to create natural, dense coverage.
Post-Op Care
Dressing, a post-op kit and clear aftercare instructions before you go home.
How Many Sessions Will You Need?
FUE needs precision, especially in graft placement. For safety, there's a limit to how many grafts can be transplanted in one sitting.
Single Session
Up to 2,500-3,000 grafts, taking about 7-8 hours
More than 3,000 Grafts
Usually 2-3 sessions, planned by your surgeon for optimal results
When Will You See Results?
| Time After Surgery | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| 0-3 weeks | Transplanted hair sheds. This is normal: the follicles go into a resting phase. |
| 3-4 months | 10-20% new growth begins |
| 6 months | About 50% of the growth is visible |
| 8-9 months | About 80% of the result is visible |
| 9 to 12 months+ | Full, final result (up to 18 months for some patients) |
Disclaimer: Results vary from person to person.
