With Follicular Unit Extraction hair transplant procedure, each follicular unit is removed individually from the back of the head using a device called Safe Scribe™, created here at DiStefano. This device microscopically separates hair follicles from the skin of the scalp to remove each follicular unit while leaving it intact for transplantation. While FUE is more time-consuming and costs approximately 25% more than an FUT transplant, FUE leaves no linear scar, which is often desirable for people who wear their hair extremely short.
During an FUE hair transplant procedure, individual follicular unit grafts are excised one at a time. A small circular incision is made in the skin around the follicular unit. The graft is then extracted directly from the scalp. Typically, hair in the donor area is cut short or almost shaved so the hair restoration surgeon can easily access the follicles. In some cases, the procedure can be performed without shaving the entire donor area.

Not everyone heals at the same rate, but most of our patients report being able to return to work and other normal activities within a few days. Be advised that hair in the donor area will be short for two weeks or more as it is trimmed closely to the scalp.
How long will it take for hair to start growing in the host area? Typically within three to four months, with more aesthetically pleasing results visible after about six months. After about eighteen months, you’ll look as if no hair loss had ever occurred — just your previous, natural-looking self.
