FUE Hair Transplant

What Is FUE?

Natural Results, Follicle by Follicle

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is the method of extracting shedding-resistant hair follicles from the back of the scalp with special micro-motor tips, one by one, and transplanting them to balding/thinning areas. Because there's no strip (FUT) incision, no suture scar remains.

Since the follicles are your own tissue, the result is permanent and natural. FUE is the most commonly chosen technique for patients who want a high graft count over large areas, fast healing, and a scar-free donor area.

  • No stitches or strip scar
  • High graft capacity over large areas
  • Fast healing, quick return to work
  • Permanent results, lifetime follow-up

What to know before you decide.

A Detailed Guide to FUE Hair Transplant

What is the FUE technique, and how does it work?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is the standard in which hair follicles are extracted one by one from the back and sides of the scalp with a micro punch (0.7–1.0 mm) and transplanted to the area of hair loss. Each follicle contains 1–4 hairs. No strip cutting or stitches are needed; only small, invisible dots remain in the donor area.

What is the graft success rate in FUE?

In experienced hands and with proper storage and transfer processes, the graft survival rate reaches 90–98%. The time grafts spend outside and temperature control are critical; our clinic uses HypoThermosol solution and special storage protocols.

"Our goal is not a 'done' look, but a natural, balanced and lasting result that is truly yours."

How many grafts can be transplanted in a single session?

With the FUE technique, 2,000–5,000 grafts can usually be done in a single session. The upper limit varies with the donor area's density and the successful punch rate. For very large areas, the option of planning a second session can be considered.

Frequently asked.

Your Questions

Because individual punches are used instead of taking a strip, it leaves no visible scar. The tiny punctate marks in the donor area are covered by new hair. Even if you cut your hair very short, no noticeable scar stands out.

There is crusting in the donor and recipient areas for the first 3–5 days. The crusts fall off by day 10–14. At 3–4 weeks, temporary shedding of the transplanted hairs begins; this is normal. New hair grows from months 3–6, and the final result is assessed at 12–18 months.

A tight (fibrotic) scalp can make punch placement more difficult; this requires an experienced technician. Thin or sensitive skin may require changes in needle size and angle planning. All of these factors are evaluated during the consultation.

Yes. The FUE technique can be used for the beard, eyebrows, mustache, and hairline. For beard and eyebrow transplants, the DHI pen may be preferred for angle control; however, FUE also gives extremely natural results in capable hands.

In standard FUE, shortening all the hair (2–3 mm) makes access to the donor and recipient areas easier. Unshaven FUE can be applied to patients who only need small areas hidden by hair. State this preference during the consultation.

With over 250,000 FUE procedures per year, Turkey performs the most in the world. This volume keeps clinics continuously updating their technical equipment and protocols and lets technicians and surgeons develop high skill. Compared to Europe, the price advantage is 50–70%.

Noticeable growth begins at months 4–6; great results can be seen by month 8; the final assessment is at months 12–18. Our clinic's before-and-after gallery offers realistic expectations at different Norwood scale levels. In your simulation session, an estimated result is generated from your own photos.
