Follicular Unit Extraction, commonly referred to as FUE, is a hair transplant technique favored by many of the world’s most cutting-edge surgeons. This advanced method makes the hair restoration process more efficient, with results that mimic the hair’s natural growth patterns. FUE removes donor hair one by one, or in very small clusters, before artfully transplanting them to areas affected by hair loss. The minimally-invasive nature of FUE translates to a lesser chance of scarring and infection. Hair transplant surgeons that specialize in FUE also claim that by using smaller sections of follicles, they are able to create a more attractive hairline.
Follicular Unit Extraction may be performed manually by a trained surgeon. Automated FUE systems, like NeoGraft and ARTAS, speed up the process by utilizing robotic software.
