An FUE hair transplant restores real, growing hair using follicles that already belong to you. FUE stands for follicular unit extraction. Small groups of one to four hairs are removed one at a time from the back and sides of the scalp, then placed where hair has thinned or receded. Because there is no strip of scalp removed, there is no linear scar. At NH Cosmetic Surgery in Orlando, we design every hairline to suit your face and age so the result looks natural for years.
Your FUE hair transplant starts with a consultation to assess your hair loss and donor area. On procedure day, your scalp is numbed with local anesthesia and individual follicles are extracted with a tiny circular punch. Each graft is then placed at the angle and direction of your natural growth, with single hairs along the front for a soft hairline. You go home the same day. The transplanted hairs usually shed within a few weeks, new growth starts around three to four months, and full results appear by twelve to eighteen months.

An FUE hair transplant restores hair using your own follicles, so the results look and grow like the rest of your hair. With no linear scar, a short recovery, and growth that is expected to last, it is one of the most natural ways to rebuild a hairline and regain fullness.

It is done under local anesthesia, so most patients feel only the numbing injections. Mild soreness for a few days is common.
It depends on the area being treated, the density you want, and your donor hair. Your surgeon will estimate a range at your consultation.
When the hairline is carefully designed and grafts are placed at the right angle, the result grows in like your natural hair.
Both can work well. FUE avoids the linear scar left by strip harvesting and usually has an easier donor area recovery.
