Hair transplant surgery – or “hair transplants” is a basic operation whereby the physician takes “donor hair” from the backside of the head and moves it to area experiencing hair loss. The area of the head where the donor hair is taken from is an area that will continue to grow throughout the life of most patients. 

The FUE Hair Transplant ProcedureFUE or Follicular Unit Extraction involves removing healthy hair follicles directly from a donor area on the scalp (usually at the back of the head where the hair is plentiful) and grafting them onto the bald or thinning areas. The treatment is carried out under local rather than general anaesthetic, eliminating risks and downtime associated with other hair transplant procedures. And, because the treatment is minimally invasive, there is no detectable scarring and, in most cases, patients are able to return to work the next day with their results. The method uses a specialised punch device, ranging in diameter from 0.6mm – 0.9mm, to extract follicular units complete with necessary glands. This separates surrounding tissue from the unit, meaning minimum trauma and better results, as well as minimal risk of any detectable scarring. Transplantation of all the vital elements of each hair follicle means a better survival rate and better growth. The treatment is performed under a high-powered microscope using specially designed instruments, allowing the surgeon to work with the utmost precision for natural-looking, undetectable results. You will be treated by highly experienced Doctors.
