Follicular Unit Extraction
A minimally invasive hair transplant technique harvesting individual follicular units via small punches-offering tiny donor scars, quicker recovery, and the ability to wear short hairstyles.
Overview
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction or Excision) involves harvesting individual hair follicles using tiny 0.7–1 mm punches under local anesthesia-with no strip removal. This technique avoids a linear scar and enables rapid recovery, often within a week. While extraction is slower and yields fewer grafts per session than FUT, FUE suits patients who prefer shorter hair, minimal scarring, and out-of-country travel, including body or beard hair donors in tight scalp scenarios. Transection rates are slightly higher (~5 %) yet overall graft survival approaches 90‑98% depending on surgeon skill. Prominent medical tourism hubs such as Turkey, India and Mexico offer FUE packages at a fraction of Western pricing-with full service care and global-standard outcomes.

Multiple sessions may be needed for full coverage in extensive baldness.
FAQs
FUE extracts individual follicles using small punches-resulting in pinpoint dot scarring, faster healing and no stitches. FUT removes a scalp strip leaving a linear scar but may yield more grafts per session.
