A minimally invasive procedure that restores hair by transplanting healthy follicles from one area of the scalp to another.
Why Consider a Hair Transplant?
How Does FUE Work?
- Extracting individual hair follicles from a donor site, usually the back or sides of the scalp
- Implanting those follicles into thinning or balding areas, one by one
- Allowing the transplanted follicles to grow naturally in their new location over time
What Happens During a Session?
- Before: A consultation assesses your hair loss pattern and donor area. Your doctor will design a treatment plan tailored to your goals.
- During: Under local anaesthesia, follicles are carefully harvested and then implanted into the thinning area. Sessions may last several hours depending on how many grafts are needed.
- After: Mild redness, swelling, or scabbing in the treated areas is expected. Most people return to normal routines within a few days, though strenuous activity should be avoided for 1–2 weeks.
What Kind of Results Can You Expect?
- Natural-looking hair growth in treated areas
- Gradual improvement, as transplanted follicles shed first before new growth appears
- Results typically become visible after 3–6 months, with fuller outcomes in 9–12 months
- A permanent improvement in density where follicles have been transplanted
Any Side Effects to Know About?
- Temporary redness, swelling, or discomfort in donor and recipient areas
- Small scabs or crusts where follicles were implanted
- Rare risks include infection or uneven growth

Quick FAQs
Does it hurt?
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia. You may feel some pressure, but most people find it tolerable.
How long is recovery?
Most people return to daily activities within a few days, though redness or scabbing may last a week or so.
Will the results look natural?
Yes, the follicles are implanted to mimic natural hair growth direction.
How soon will I see results?
New hair growth typically begins within 3–4 months, with fuller results in 9–12 months.
Will the transplanted hair fall out again?
The transplanted follicles are usually resistant to thinning, so they tend to last long-term. However, surrounding non-transplanted hair may continue to thin with age.
