FUE Hair Transplant

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area and implanted into areas of hair loss. It does not involve stitches or linear scars and is currently the most commonly preferred method of hair transplantation.

FUE is generally preferred over FUT because it is less invasive, does not leave a linear scar, and has a quicker recovery time. FUT may still be used in selected cases, but at Talwar Skin Clinics, Dr. Sanchit Talwar focuses exclusively on FUE hair transplants for better comfort, precision, and aesthetic outcomes.

Men and women with stable hair loss, adequate donor hair, and realistic expectations are good candidates for FUE. A detailed consultation is important to assess hair loss pattern, donor density, and long-term planning.

Yes. FUE hair transplant can be performed for women experiencing pattern hair loss, thinning, or hairline recession. The approach and planning differ from male hair transplants and are customised based on hair density, parting patterns, and styling needs.

In most cases, the donor area is trimmed for accurate extraction. However, partial or minimal shaving options may be possible depending on hair length, area being treated, and individual requirements. This is discussed during consultation.

The transplanted hair follicles are taken from genetically stable areas and are usually permanent. However, existing non-transplanted hair may continue to thin over time, which is why long-term planning and supportive treatments may be recommended.

Initial hair shedding is normal in the first few weeks. New hair growth typically begins around 3–4 months, with visible improvement by 6–9 months and final results seen by 12 months.

FUE hair transplant is performed under local anaesthesia and is generally well tolerated. When done by a trained dermatologist using proper technique, the procedure is safe, with minimal downtime and low risk of complications.
