FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a hair restoration therapy that extracts individual follicular units from the donor area. We create a small circular incision around the follicular unit in the scalp and subsequently remove it from the skull.

FUE eliminates the need for a linear incision, as seen in more traditional kinds of hair transplantation, such as FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), which uses a strip harvesting approach.

The FUE method was developed with the purpose of avoiding linear scars caused by hair transplantation using the strip-gathering technique. People who choose to keep their hair short or, more intriguingly, those who shave their heads or sport the newest trendy cut, are believed to benefit most from FUE.

Remember that FUE hair transplantation is a very challenging technique that should only be done by a knowledgeable, experienced, and trained surgeon. Before the transplant procedure, the doctor removes a large portion of the hair from the donor location.

Yes, it is possible to perform FUE on a patient with long hair and then shave the sides into strips that are disguised by the surrounding hair. However, because the open area is not ejected, visibility may be compromised. Remember that keeping the tool exactly parallel to the follicles can be challenging, as can correct alignment, because the hair on the surface is at a different angle to the follicle beneath the skin.

Individual scars formed with the follicular unit extraction technique are numerous yet incredibly tiny. The recovery and healing following FUE are normally great, but wounds may bleed slightly for the first few days, and crusts will form.

Follicular Unit Extraction is very beneficial for patients who are at high risk of scarring in the donor location, which can occur in Indians or non-whites. You should also keep in mind that any hair restoration operation should be performed with extreme caution, especially for people who have a history of healing and scarring concerns, such as those with keloid scars.

Contrary to popular belief, FUE does cause some scarring. What's intriguing is that these individual scars are so small and heal so quickly that they vanish and are difficult to trace.

Conclusion

Another advantage of having a FUE hair transplant in Dubai is that the healing process is so swift and painless that it causes little disturbance to individuals who participate in sports or other active activities.

Furthermore, the patient experiences minimal unease or discomfort in the donor location, and there is no post-operative pain in the recipient area of the scalp.
