What is an FUE procedure?

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplants can be an effective solution for people of color experiencing hair loss. This minimally invasive procedure involves harvesting individual hair follicles from donor areas, typically the back and sides of the scalp, and transplanting them to thinning or balding areas. For patients with Afro-textured hair, which tends to be curly and kinky, FUE allows surgeons to carefully extract and transplant follicles while preserving the natural curl pattern. This attention to detail helps ensure that the transplanted hair blends seamlessly with the surrounding hair, creating a natural-looking result. Additionally, FUE leaves no linear scar, which is particularly beneficial for those who prefer to wear their hair short.
