The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant has established itself as one of the most advanced and effective treatments for hair restoration. This minimally invasive procedure allows for the extraction of individual follicular units, offering natural and personalized results for each patient.
At D’Atri Medicina Capilar, with over 15 years of experience, we have perfected this technique, helping thousands of people regain their confidence and improve their quality of life. Furthermore, internationally renowned Dr. Gisela D’Atri leads both the procedures and the training of new specialists in this revolutionary technique.
In this article, discover what the FUE technique is, how it works, and why it has become the standard of excellence in hair restoration.
What is the FUE Hair Technique?
The FUE technique is a minimally invasive hair transplant procedure that involves the individual extraction of follicular units from the scalp, preserving the entire hair follicle. These units are carefully transplanted to the area affected by baldness or hair loss, achieving a completely natural look.
The procedure is performed without visible scars, as it does not require linear incisions or sutures, differentiating itself from traditional methods such as the FUT technique.
Importance of the hair follicle
The hair follicle is the key structure in this process. Each follicular unit contains between one and four hairs, and its careful extraction ensures a high survival rate of the transplanted hair. By working directly with the hair follicle, the health of the donor area is preserved and the results of the transplant are maximized.
With this technique, patients can recover hair density safely and effectively, without interrupting their daily activities for long periods.
Step-by-Step Process: Follicular Unit Extraction and Implantation
1. Follicular Unit Extraction
The first step of the procedure involves selecting a donor area (usually the back of the scalp) from which the follicular units are extracted individually. This process is performed with specialized tools that minimize damage to the surrounding tissue and ensure a rapid recovery of the donor area.
2. Preparation of the Receiving Area
At this stage, the channels in the recipient area are designed, taking into account factors such as hair growth direction, density, and angle, to ensure a natural look.
3. Implantation of Follicular Units
Finally, the extracted follicular units are carefully implanted into the prepared canals. This step is crucial for achieving personalized and natural results tailored to each patient’s aesthetic needs, offering a high success rate, with more than 95% of transplanted follicles surviving and growing healthily.
Advantages of the FUE Technique vs. Other Hair Transplant Methods
The FUE hair transplant technique has positioned itself as the standard of excellence in hair transplantation, standing out from other traditional procedures such as the FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) technique.
1. Less Visible Scar
Unlike the FUT technique, which leaves a linear scar in the donor area, the FUE technique uses microincisions that are virtually imperceptible to the naked eye. This allows patients to have short haircuts without worrying about visible marks.
2. Shorter Recovery Time
Thanks to its minimally invasive approach, the recovery period for FUE is significantly shorter. Patients typically resume their daily activities within a few days, while with other methods, downtime can extend to several weeks.
3. Natural and Personalized Results
The FUE technique is based on the extraction and implantation of individual follicular units, allowing for the design of a hair growth pattern tailored to each patient’s unique characteristics. This guarantees a natural and aesthetic result that exceeds expectations.
