FUE Hair Transplant
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or FUE Hair Transplant is a revolutionary technique in the field of hair restoration. This method has gained immense popularity due to its minimally invasive nature and the natural-looking results it offers.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a popular and advanced method of hair transplantation that offers a natural-looking solution for patient suffering from hair loss or baldness. This technique involves the extraction of hair follicles from the donor area, typically the back of the scalp, and their implantation into the balding or thinning areas. There is minimal bleeding and wastage with barely any post-operative discomfort.
Follicular Unit Extraction – FUE Hair Transplant
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a revolutionary technique in the field of hair transplantation. Unlike previous methods, FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area of the scalp (usually the back of the head where hair is more resistant to balding) and implanting them into the balding areas. This method has gained immense popularity due to its minimally invasive nature and the natural-looking results it offers.
The procedure starts with the numbing of the donor area, followed by the extraction of individual hair follicles using a precise microsurgical extraction instrument. Each follicle is carefully removed with its necessary tissues and sebaceous glands. This meticulous process ensures the vitality of the follicles, which is crucial for the success of the transplant.
Once the follicles are extracted, they are prepared for transplantation. In the recipient area, tiny incisions are made to place these follicles. This step requires the skill of an experienced surgeon to ensure that hair growth follows a natural pattern & direction, blending seamlessly with existing hair.

Steps of FUE:
- Extraction of the required follicular units or follicles from the donor area and placement in a holding solution.
- Creating the slits on the recipient site
- Implantation of the grafts in the recipient area with the help of implanters or forceps.
Advantages of FUE:
- Minimally Invasive: FUE doesn't require any stitches or staples in the donor area.
- Less Post-Operative Discomfort: Patients usually experience minimal discomfort post-surgery
- No Linear Scar: Unlike the strip method, FUE leaves no visible linear scar.
- Quick Recovery: The recovery period is relatively shorter.
- The technique of choice in decreased scalp laxity.
Transitioning to Direct Hair Transplant (DHT) at Eugenix Hair Sciences:
Developed and pioneered by Dr. Pradeep Sethi and Dr. Arika Bansal at Eugenix Hair Sciences, the Direct Hair Transplant (DHT) technique is an advanced version of the standard FUE. It is designed to enhance the effectiveness of the FUE procedure by reducing the out-of-body time of the hair follicles, thus improving their survival rate.
The DHT Technique:
The DHT technique, a brainchild of Dr. Sethi and Dr. Bansal, focuses on immediate implantation of the extracted hair follicles. In conventional FUE, the extracted follicles are first collected, counted, and then implanted. However, in DHT, as soon as the follicle is extracted, it is implanted directly into the recipient area. This reduction in time spent outside the body significantly improves the survival rate of the transplanted hair follicles, leading to better growth and denser hair.
