What is a FUE hair transplant?

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a sophisticated hair restoration technique that involves the precise extraction of individual hair follicles from a designated donor site, typically the denser areas of hair at the back or sides of the head. These follicles, usually in natural clusters of 1 to 4 hairs, are then carefully transplanted to the area where hair thinning or loss has occurred.

This advanced procedure is characterized by its minimally invasive nature. Utilizing specialized microsurgical tools, the process is virtually pain-free and is known for leaving minimal to no visible scarring. Conducted under a local anesthetic, FUE ensures a comfortable experience for patients, accompanied by relatively brief recovery periods.

Post-surgery, the transplanted hair will commence growth within 4 to 5 months, continuing its development over the next 18 months. It’s normal for some of the transplanted hairs to shed initially, but as time progresses, these hairs will start to grow thicker and fuller, eventually blending seamlessly with your existing hair for a natural and dense appearance.

How Long Does a FUE Hair Transplant Last For?

When performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon, the outcomes of a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant are generally permanent. This lasting effect is primarily because the donor’s hair is sourced from areas of the scalp typically resistant to male pattern baldness, such as the sides or lower back of the head. Hair follicles in these regions are robust and genetically programmed to last, maintaining their vitality even after being relocated to the balding areas.

The durability of the transplanted hair greatly depends on how well a patient adheres to the surgeon’s pre- and post-operative care guidelines. Key recommendations include abstaining from smoking and refraining from anti-inflammatory drugs, beta-blockers, blood thinners, and antidepressants for two weeks before the procedure. It’s also advised to avoid alcohol and caffeine consumption in the week leading up to the surgery.

Post-surgery care is equally crucial. For the first four days following the transplant, it’s important to avoid touching, brushing, or washing the scalp. Engaging in vigorous physical activities should be postponed for about a week. Additionally, during the first week post-surgery, patients should sleep on their backs with their heads elevated at a 45-degree angle using pillows, minimising swelling and ensuring the newly implanted follicles remain undisturbed.

Adherence to these detailed instructions provided by your surgeon is key to ensuring the long-term success of your FUE hair transplant.

FUE Hair Transplant Timeline:

Here’s what to expect in the weeks and months following a FUE hair transplant:

1 Week After the Transplant

In the first few days following the surgery, scabs and crusts will emerge around the newly transplanted hair follicles, and there will be some itchiness, redness and swelling on the scalp. The scalp may also ache a little, and over-the-counter painkillers can be used to treat this.

2 Weeks After the Transplant

Most of the swelling will have subsided. Redness and itchiness will diminish too, though these symptoms will not have disappeared completely. Patients will also notice hair shedding from the recipient area. This is a natural part of the hair growth cycle, and should not cause alarm. New hair is forming in the transplanted follicles, and it will grow with time.

1-4 Months After the Transplant

The hair in the donor site will have completely regrown, concealing the small, circular scars that were made during the surgery. Meanwhile, the recipient area will continue to shed hair. It is common to experience patchiness at this time, as different spots of the recipient area are at different stages in their growth cycle.

6 Months After the Transplant

You will begin to notice greater evenness and uniformity of growth in the recipient area, and the new hairs will begin to look thicker.

9-12 Months After the Transplant

You will notice further thickening during this time, as your hair continues to grow longer, stronger and darker.

12-18 Months After the Transplant

The final results of the procedure will become visible during this time, as the transplanted hairs reach full maturity.

Frequently Asked Questions

FUE hair transplants are permanent in that transplanted hair follicles will maintain their quality even when transplanted to an area of hair loss. This hair can be treated in the same way as the rest of your other hair in every aspect from washing it to cutting it.

While FUE hair transplants are ‘permanent’, the main difficulty with hair loss is that it is typically an ongoing issue, meaning that while your transplanted hair will remain, other hair around this area may continue to thin. In these cases you might then wish to have a further FUE hair transplant to allow you to regrow these other areas of hair loss.

Typically, patients are willing to have further FUE hair transplants to replace hair that is lost from other areas of the scalp after their initial surgery. However, as we are limited by our sources of donor hair to use in transplants, maintenance of existing hair is integral to slowing overall hair loss. Using hair loss medications and serums alongside your FUE hair transplant is therefore vital to preventing further thinning and sustaining hair in the long-term.

Equally, while advanced methods mean that we are able to transplant hair in greater volume, it is often impossible to achieve the volume of the original hair. This is due to the fact that concentrated incisions would leave too much trauma to the scalp, preventing the skin and hair from healing well. Because of this, it is common to have more than one FUE hair transplant over your journey to hair restoration, with this helping clients achieve a fuller appearance.

One of the reasons that FUE is so popular is because it is much less invasive than something like FUT. A local anesthetic is administered for the procedure, with a majority of clients experiencing no pain at all despite being conscious.

While you may experience some minor discomfort during your first few days of recovery, this is minimal and the potential for further health complications following FUE is very low.

The best treatment for your hair loss will depend on a number of factors like the pattern of your hair thinning and your family history. However, one of the key things that makes you an ideal candidate for the procedure is having enough hair growth at the back and sides of the head to ensure there are enough hair follicles to act as a donor. Likewise, other elements like texture and colour will impact the final appearance.

The short answer is yes. Transplanted hairs will maintain their quality and will continue to behave like normal hairs. However, balding is typically an ongoing issue. This means that, as time goes on, another FUE procedure may be necessary to replace further hair loss. Patients can have multiple FUE procedures, but there is a limit to the amount of donor hair that can be extracted.

FUE has a success rate of over 95%. However, this is highly dependent on the skills of the surgeon performing the operation. Choosing a reputable clinic with an experienced surgeon is the best way to maximise your chances of success.

FUE is a highly effective hair loss solution, consistently outperforming alternative treatments. While most men will notice a major improvement with FUE, some candidates are more suitable than others. The most important criteria is having enough donor hair on the back and sides of your head. The colour and consistency of your hair will also affect the final result.

FUE prices vary greatly depending on the number of follicles that need to be extracted. Some clinics will charge per graft, while others will charge a flat rate for different levels of procedure. Generally speaking, you should expect to pay at least £3,000 for an FUE hair transplant. Cheaper procedures are available, but these are usually not performed by reputable surgeons.
