Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a modern, minimally invasive hair transplant technique that provides natural-looking results. This method involves extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area and transplanting them to areas of thinning or baldness. At Oak Brook Hair Transplant, we specialize in FUE to ensure our patients achieve the best possible outcomes.
The process begins with a thorough consultation where we discuss your hair restoration goals, medical history, and determine the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.
A customized hairline design is created to complement your facial features and ensure a natural look. This step is crucial for achieving the best aesthetic results.
The donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, is trimmed and numbed with a local anesthetic to ensure comfort during the procedure.
Individual hair follicles are carefully extracted from the donor area using a specialized tool. This process leaves tiny, nearly invisible puncture marks that heal quickly.
The extracted follicles are examined and prepared for transplantation. Only the healthiest and most robust follicles are selected.
The prepared follicles are meticulously implanted into the recipient area, following the natural direction and angle of your existing hair to ensure a seamless blend.
Post-procedure care instructions are provided to ensure optimal healing and results. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to their normal activities within a few days.
FUE hair transplants offer several advantages over traditional methods
Minimally Invasive: No linear scars, only tiny puncture marks that heal quickly.
Natural Results: The transplanted hair follicles grow naturally, blending seamlessly with your existing hair.
Quick Recovery: Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
Versatility: Suitable for restoring hair on the scalp, beard, and eyebrows.

The duration of the FUE procedure depends on the number of follicles being transplanted, but it typically takes between 4 to 8 hours.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the FUE procedure, as local anesthesia is used to numb the donor and recipient areas.
New hair growth can be seen as early as 3 months post-procedure, with full results visible after 12 months.
