What Is The FUE Technique?
FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) is a modern hair transplantation technique in which follicular units are individually harvested from the donor area and transplanted into thinning or bald regions.
The procedure is performed using micro punches generally ranging between 0.7–1.2 mm. Today, 0.8–0.9 mm punches are most commonly preferred, although the final choice depends on hair thickness, curl pattern, and scalp characteristics.
Why FUE Is The Leading Technique
- No linear scar formation.
- Faster healing and recovery.
- Less post-operative discomfort.
- Suitable for short hairstyles.
- Natural and long-lasting results.
Is FUE Suitable For You?
Successful FUE starts with detailed planning and accurate patient selection. Every patient undergoes donor area analysis before surgery.
- Follicular unit density (FU/cm²)
- Average hairs per graft
- Hair shaft thickness
- Miniaturization mapping
- Long-term donor preservation planning
Safe Density Ranges
- 10–15 FU/cm² extraction in average donors.
- Up to 20 FU/cm² in selected cases.
- Hairline: 30–40 FU/cm²
- Mid-scalp: 30–35 FU/cm²
- Crown: 25–35 FU/cm²
Pre-Operative Planning
Planning begins with evaluating hair characteristics, donor density, Norwood classification, scalp condition, and long-term hair loss progression.
Recipient area measurements are calculated and graft requirements are determined using transparent medical planning protocols.
