Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplantation is the gold standard of outpatient procedure and the most advanced method in hair transplantation which builds on the biggest advancement in hair transplant technology.

The basic principles of FUE remain the same today. The method is the work of follicular unit which located on the scalp one by one and replacement of these into the bald area. Follicular units to be transplanted are extracted from the scalp with a special tool one by one and follicles are placed into new places on the same day. With the Follicular Unit Extraction technique results look natural and are long-lasting.

What is the specialty of the needles?

Considerable impact on the operation's success is the length and sharpness of the needles. Depending on the length of each follicular unit which ish a naturally occurring bundle of hairs, it is important to utilize needles that have a diameter of 0,7mm to 0,9mm or if the follicular unit grafts contain 3-4-5 hairs needles with a diameter of 1,0 mm should be used.

The sharpness of the needles as well as being single-use with each patient, are the elements. to avoid any follicular damage is to extract hair follicles with precise accuracy. All of these elements are refinements planned by the hair transplantation surgeons prior to the operation, which are tailored specifically to each patient's condition.
