How is hair transplantation performed using the FUE method?
FUE (Follicle Extraction) hair transplantation is a carefully designed process that consists of several stages:
- Collection of grafts from the donor area. At the first stage, the doctor carefully extracts healthy hair follicles - small areas of skin with hair that are taken from places where the hair retains its density and strength. Most often, this is the back of the head, and sometimes the chin or the front of the neck. For this, a very thin instrument is used - a punch (a microneedle with a diameter of 0.6-0.9 mm), which allows the grafts to be collected as carefully as possible, preserving their viability for future transplantation.
- Counting and distributing the grafts. After extraction, all grafts are carefully counted and sorted according to the number of hairs: single, paired, triple and larger groups. This sorting is necessary to create a natural look for the hairstyle: single hairs are suitable for the growth line at the forehead, and thicker groups are used to fill the central area of the head, so that the hairstyle looks voluminous and lively.
- Preparing the area for transplantation. In the areas where hair restoration is planned, the doctor carefully forms microchannels — small holes for transplanting grafts. It is important to choose the right angle, depth and density of the channels. Hair usually naturally grows at an angle of 30–50 degrees, and compliance with these parameters helps to achieve a natural result.
- At the final stage, the grafts are carefully placed into the prepared channels. The work is done manually using micro-instruments to preserve the viability of each hair and correctly direct its growth. It is at this stage that the foundation for the future density and natural look of the hairstyle is laid.
What are the techniques of hair transplantation using the FUE method?
There are several methods of hair transplantation using the method of extracting individual hair units.
Manual technique (FUE Hand)
With this method, the doctor uses a special tool - a punch (a thin tube), fixed in a convenient metal handle. To carefully extract the graft (a small area of skin with hair), the doctor sequentially performs two movements: light pressure and gentle rotation. This work requires great concentration and is suitable for transplanting a small amount of hair - usually up to 1000 grafts.
Answers to the most popular questions
about hair transplantation using the FUE method
Is hair transplant painful?
No, the procedure is painless. For the patient's comfort, local anesthesia is used - anesthesia of only the required area. The person remains conscious and can calmly watch a movie or listen to music during the transplant.
Is there a guarantee of results?
Modern hair transplant techniques using the FUE method show high efficiency. The first results become noticeable after 1-4 months, when the transplanted follicles (hair roots) "wake up" and begin to grow. The final appearance of the hairstyle is formed in about a year. According to doctors, on average 95% to 98% of transplanted hair takes root.
Is it possible to have a hair transplant if you are completely bald?
A hair transplant requires a donor site - this is the area on the head where hair still grows, usually the back of the head and temples. In cases of complete baldness, such hair may not be enough, which can affect the density and overall result of the procedure.
How long does the operation take?
Transplantation of 3,000-4,000 grafts (small areas of skin with hair) is usually done in one day and lasts from 6 to 8 hours. If a larger amount of hair needs to be transplanted, the procedure can be divided into two days to ensure better results and patient comfort.
What percentage of hair takes root?
According to hair transplant clinics, 95% to 98% of transplanted grafts take root with the FUE method. The figures are based on many years of observations and experience working with patients.
Why do many people choose FUE hair transplant?
The FUE method gives a natural result, leaves no scars and ensures high hair survival. Due to these advantages, FUE transplantation is becoming increasingly popular all over the world.

About the service
The FUE (Fringe Unit Extraction) method is a modern method of hair restoration. It helps to restore natural density without incisions and stitches. During the procedure, the doctor takes small groups of hair from those areas of the head where they grow well (usually the back of the head and temples) and transplants them to areas where the hair has become sparse or has disappeared completely. Such transplanted hairs are called grafts (small areas of skin with 1-4 hairs). They do not react to the hormone DHT (a substance that causes baldness), so the transplant result lasts for a long time.
