Follicular Unit Extraction

At NJ Hair Transplant Center, Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is one of our most popular and advanced hair restoration services. This minimally invasive procedure involves the precise extraction of individual hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, and their meticulous implantation into areas experiencing thinning or hair loss. The process begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess the patient’s needs and establish realistic goals. Next, the donor area is prepared, and follicles are carefully harvested using specialized tools to ensure minimal discomfort and no linear scarring. Each follicle is then expertly implanted in the recipient area, considering the natural growth pattern for seamless results. After the procedure, patients receive personalized aftercare instructions to promote healing and optimize results.
