1. How FUE Hair Transplant
Process Works?
FUE Hair Transplant is a simple process that involves
extracting hair follicles individually from donor area. Are
you seeking a scarless hair transplant technique?
Practically speaking there is no such term as “scarless
hair transplantation”. FUE Hair Transplant is considered
as a minimally invasive technique but even it is not a
scarless procedure. You will end up with tiny, pinhole
scars at the donor area, but they are barely visible from
distance.

2. In FUE or follicular unit extraction a specially designed
punch tool is used to make a tiny, circular hole at the
donor site to free the hair follicle from surrounding scalp
tissue. This punched follicle is then carefully extracted
from the scalp and stored in an artificial storage medium
like a saline solution.
The surgeon keeps repeating this punching procedure
until enough number of hair follicles has been extracted.
This may take 2 to 3 hours.

3. Once enough follicles have been extracted, the surgeon
moves on to plantation phase. The recipient site is first
prepared by carefully crafting tiny incisions at specific
angles. The angle of incision determines the direction of
transplanted hair so this must be done very carefully. The
surgeon then carefully inserts the prepared follicles into
these incisions to complete the FUE hair transplant
surgery. FUE hair transplant is a slow and lengthy
procedure that takes several hours for its completion. In
case of severe baldness, it may take several sessions
spanned over several days to achieve the fuller and
thicker look.

4. Recovery from FUE Hair Transplant:
Recovery process after FUE hair transplantation is simple
and quick; given you follow the post-procedural
instructions of your surgeon. Immediately after the
surgery your scalp will be sore and tender. Using cold
compressions may help relieve the symptoms. However,
be gentle to the scalp when applying cold compressions.
Avoid washing your scalp for 24 to 36 hours after the
surgery. You will be able to resume routine, non-
strenuous activities after 2 to 3 days. It will take 6 to 8

5. months before you will start noticing growth of
transplanted hair. Full hair growth may take more than a
year.
Automation in FUE Treatment:
Hair transplant surgeons in Dubai are using automation
which is a newer trend in hair transplant. Motorized
punching has successfully replaced manual punching as
more surgeons are using a small instrument for

6. extracting hair follicles instead of doing the task
manually. This advanced donor hair extraction technique
is referred to as Stem Cell FUE or Direct Automated FUE.
Previously, the rate of damaged hair grafts used to
increase in large hair transplant sessions. But Stem Cell
FUE has made this minimally invasive hair transplant
technique more efficient. Now using motorized punching
allows the surgeons to extract more hair grafts safely and
in a lesser time. Automation has also made the
extraction phase easier on the surgeon’s part. Now, the
surgeon does not exert manual force to separate hair
follicles and taking them out.

7. Who is an ideal candidate for FUE hair
transplant?
FUE is appropriate for individuals who want to have a
short hairstyle after hair transplantation. Contrary to
traditional FUT procedure, FUE does not leave a linear
scar and so the individual does not need to wear long
hair to cover the scar. Also, it is a useful method for
those who want to resume their routine activities soon
after the surgery.
Some individuals desire FUE simply because they are not
suitable candidates for FUT due to their tight scalp. In
such patients taking out hair follicles directly from the
scalp is the only possible method for hair transplant.
People who have healed poorly from a previous hair
transplant can also benefit from FUE hair transplant.
Some hair loss patients choose FUE simply because they
heard that it is minimally invasive and non-surgical. In
fact, FUE is minimally invasive but it is not non-surgical.
FUE is definitely a surgical method. The depth of the
incisions in FUE is the same as it is in FUT, the difference

8. is only that in FUE these incisions are of pinhole size and
the incision sites are scattered over a large area.
FUE hair transplant is a very effective and popular
method that is practiced by the best hair restoration
surgeons around the world. The Hair Transplant Center is
