As the name indicates, the extraction (or harvesting) of donor hair is in follicular units.
It is a minimally invasive technique is a method of extracting or “harvesting,” donor hair in a follicular units. In FUE Hair Transplant surgery, an instrument is used to make a small, circular incision in the skin around a follicular unit, separating it from the surrounding tissue. The group is then extracted (pulled) directly from the scalp, leaving a tiny open hole.
This process is repeated until the Hair Transplant surgeon has harvested enough follicular units for the planned hair restoration. This process can take two to three hours regularly. The donor wounds, approximately 0.8 to 0.9mm in size, completely heal over the course of four to five days.

The local anaesthetic is first injected into the donor area of the scalp. These injections can cause a slight stinging but this is short lived and the area goes numb very quickly. Most patients relax enough to sleep during the treatment.
As soon as each individual follicular unit/graft is extracted, a team of highly trained Hair Transplantation technicians prepares the grafts for implantation using state-of-the-art microscopes.
During the second stage of the process the balding/recipient area is anaesthetised and numerous micro-incisions are made using a specially shaped micro-needle. The grafts are then implanted inside the recipient sites by hand using instruments. This ensures minimal damage to the follicle to ensure maximum yield. The FUE surgeon carefully models the newly designed hairline with the existing shape and angle of hairs and face shape.

FUE, also known as Follicular Unit Extraction, is a Hair Transplant procedure in which the hair follicles are individually removed from the donor area one by one. The hair follicles usually occur in groups of 1-3 hairs in the scalp region. FUE is a manual transfer that is either motorized or automated, depending on the individual patient. The extraction method employed varies depending on the characteristics of the hair follicles, such as the thinness or the thickness of the hair shafts, curly nature of the hair, exit angle, etc.
The best advantage of FUE is that there is no linear scar what so ever left on the scalp. You have the freedom to wear your hair as short as you wish. Since it is a less invasive procedure the pain felt post the transplant is also lesser. The recovery time is quicker too.
The practice of individually removing the hair units allows them to be collected one at a time without leaving a linear scalp scar. There will be some smaller wounds immediately after the procedure in the donor areas. After the initial period of 2-4 days, the wounds will heal and the microscopic scars will be barely visible.
In most cases, patients set aside 2 to 7 days for recovery after their surgery. FUE scars (transplanted area) usually heal within 2 to 4 days, it may take up to one week for the donor area to heal and free of scabs. Individual results may vary from patient to patient.
FUE transplant procedure when properly performed by a professional will last a lifetime. Also, the hair grafts should be selected from the permanent zone where the hair is not meant to go through balding. Some patients may see some thinning of hair around their donor area as they age. In those cases, transplanted hair could go through the same process. However, this may vary from person to person.
There are few risks associated with any surgery. The most common complications of FUE involve discomfort, swelling, bruising, itching, and pain. There could also be a risk of bleeding/oozing as well as numbness of the scalp. You can discuss with your surgeon if the discomforts persist even after 4 days of surgery.
