GlossaryFollicular Unit Excision (FUE)

minimally invasive hair transplant technique extracting individual hair follicles

Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted from a donor area, typically the back of the scalp, and transplanted to areas experiencing hair loss. This method leaves tiny, almost undetectable scars and allows for a more natural-looking hair restoration compared to older techniques.
