What is FUE Hair Transplant?
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive hair transplant surgery. Individual follicular units, containing healthy hair follicles, are extracted from the donor area (typically the back and sides of the scalp) and meticulously transplanted to the recipient area (the bald areas or thinning areas). Unlike older methods that involved removing strips of scalp (FUT), FUE leaves minimal scarring, making it a preferred choice for many patients.
What Can FUE Hair Restoration Treat?
FUE hair transplant surgery can effectively address a variety of hair loss conditions, including:
- Male pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia)
- Female pattern baldness
- Receding hairline
- Thinning hair
- A receding beard or mustache
- Eyebrow thinning
- Scalp scarring due to accidents or burns
What is Trichology?
Trichology is a specialist field focused on diagnosing and improving hair and scalp conditions. A trichologist evaluates symptoms, medical background, and contributing lifestyle factors to understand the root cause of issues such as thinning, shedding, scalp irritation, and texture changes.
Treatment is then tailored to your individual needs, with blood profiling used where appropriate to improve diagnostic accuracy.
How Trichology Works
Trichology follows a holistic model, assessing not only visible scalp and hair signs but also wider health factors such as diet, wellbeing, hormonal balance, immune function, and lifestyle.
This allows clinicians to treat a broad range of concerns, from alopecia areata and scarring alopecia to general scalp and hair condition management, using targeted treatment options based on findings.
How FUE Works
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a modern hair transplant technique designed to restore natural-looking hair. In this procedure, individual hair follicles are carefully extracted from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, where hair is dense and resistant to thinning. These follicles are then meticulously implanted into areas experiencing hair loss or thinning, such as the hairline or crown.
FUE is minimally invasive and leaves no linear scar, making it a popular choice for those seeking a quicker recovery and more natural results. The process ensures that transplanted hair blends seamlessly with existing hair, offering a permanent solution to hair loss.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best procedure for me?
First, take a look at our treatments and procedures section to get a feel of what each treatment entails. In-depth conversations will then be had at your consultation, where we will look into the best solution for you. Each case is different, and Dr. Saeed will work very closely with you to decide what’s best to do.
I have hair loss but I don’t wish to have surgery – are there any other options?
The cause of your hairloss should be determined to decide which treatment would be best for you – if you are experiencing hair loss and you do not know the cause of it, we would recommend for you to have a Trichology appointment – this includes a medical examination and during the consultation, Dr Saaed will examine your head and scalp and go through your medical and hair history to try to determine which factors are causing the hair loss such as lifestyle, hormonal imbalances, immune system and hair care. He can then speak to you in detail about treatment options (which could be medication, topical treatments or other non surgical treatments such as PRP).
