How FUE Hair Transplant Works

Non-Surgical Hair Restoration Explained

Understanding FUE Hair Transplant

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 FUE Process: Step-by-Step

FUE PROCEDURE

Step 1

Consultation

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.

Step 2

Designing the Hairline

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.

Step 3

Preparation

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.

Step 4

Extraction

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.

Step 5

Preparation of Follicles

The extracted follicles are examined and prepared for transplantation. Only the healthiest and most robust follicles are selected.

Step 6

Transplantation

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.

Step 7

Recovery

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.
