A FUE hair transplant, also known as Follicular Unit Extraction, is a **minimally invasive** hair restoration procedure. This technique involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area (typically the back or sides of the head) with a micropunch.

The healthy follicular unit, also called a hair graft, forms the foundation for new hair growth. A follicular unit (graft) comprises up to 4 hairs. Human scalp hair does not usually grow from several scattered individual hairs but is arranged in these units.

These follicles are carefully selected based on their viability and then implanted into tiny incisions in the recipient area. The precision of this process ensures that the transplanted hair grows naturally and seamlessly with the existing hair. Unlike traditional strip harvesting methods like FUT, **FUE does not leave a noticeable scar**, leading to faster recovery and less discomfort.

For unknown reasons, hair in the donor area is **resistant to the hormone Dihydrotestosterone** (DHT), which causes hair loss, and this guarantees the treatment’s success.
