FUE Hair Transplant
FUE hair transplantation, also known as follicular unit excision, is a minimally invasive hair restoration procedure. In this procedure, individual hair follicles are harvested from a donor area and transplanted into bald or sparsely populated areas of the scalp. This method offers natural results with minimal scarring and a quick recovery.
Why an FUE Hair Transplant?
An FUE hair transplant can be beneficial for several reasons:
- Natural results: Transplanting individual hair follicles ensures a natural appearance and harmonious hairlines.
- Minimal scarring: Since no large incisions are necessary, only minimal, barely visible scars are created.
- Short recovery time: The minimally invasive method allows for faster recovery and less downtime.
- Permanent solution: Once transplanted, hair follicles grow permanently and ensure long-term improvement in hair volume.

The Intervention
The FUE hair transplant is usually performed under local anesthesia and involves several steps:
- Consultation and Planning: In a detailed consultation, your individual wishes and needs are discussed, and a customized treatment plan is developed.
- Hair Follicle Extraction: Using a special instrument, individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area. This creates small, pinpoint wounds that heal quickly.
- Preparation and Transplantation: The extracted hair follicles are carefully prepared and then transplanted into the bald or sparsely populated areas of the head.
- Aftercare: The transplanted areas are cleaned and protected. A bandage is applied to promote healing.
Advantages of FUE Hair Transplantation
- Natural and lasting results: Hair follicles grow continuously, ensuring a natural appearance.
- Minimal scarring: The minimally invasive method results in only small, pinpoint scars that are barely visible.
- Fast recovery: The short recovery time allows for a quick return to normal activities.
- Gentle method: The precise removal and transplantation of the hair follicles minimizes the risk of complications.
After the Operation
Slight swelling and redness are normal after surgery and usually subside within a few days. Most patients are able to return to social activities after about a week. The transplanted hair begins to grow after about three to four months, and the final result is visible after about a year.

Questions & Answers
What is the difference between FUE and conventional hair transplantation?
FUE is a minimally invasive method that harvests individual hair follicles, whereas the traditional method involves harvesting a strip of skin containing hair follicles. FUE leaves less visible scars and has a shorter recovery time.
How does the FUE method differ from the FUT method?
The FUT method involves removing a strip of skin, leaving a larger scar. FUE, on the other hand, removes individual follicles, which is less invasive and leaves smaller scars.
How long will it take until I can look normal again after the FUE treatment?
After a few days, you can resume most daily activities. Mild redness and swelling usually subside within a week.
Will the costs of FUE hair transplantation be covered by health insurance?
Since this is an aesthetic procedure, the costs are generally not covered by health insurance.
