What is FUE Hair Transplant?
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a modern hair restoration technique where individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) and implanted into areas with thinning or no hair. Unlike the older FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) method, FUE does not require cutting a strip of scalp, which means:
- No linear scarring
- Shorter healing time
- Less post-operative discomfort
- More natural hairline results
FUE is performed using advanced microsurgical tools, ensuring precise graft placement and higher survival rates for each follicle.

FUE Hair Transplant Procedures
- Consultation & Planning: A thorough assessment is conducted using digital scalp imaging to determine the pattern and severity of hair loss, donor area capacity, and overall suitability for the procedure. A personalized treatment plan is then designed, including your new hairline.
- Donor Area Preparation : The donor area is shaved and sterilized. Local anesthesia is administered to ensure a pain-free experience.
- Graft Extraction : Using a micro-punch tool (usually 0.6–1.0 mm in diameter), individual hair follicles are extracted with great care to preserve the surrounding tissues and ensure high graft survival.
- Graft Preservation: Extracted follicles are stored in a temperature-controlled solution that maintains their viability during the procedure.
- Channel Opening: Tiny incisions are made in the recipient area, following the natural angle, density, and direction of hair growth.
- Graft Implantation: The hair grafts are implanted into the prepared sites with precision, ensuring even distribution and natural appearance.
Advantages of FUE Hair Transplant
- Minimally invasive: No stitches or scalpel incisions
- Natural-looking results: Hair grows in the same direction and angle as natural hair
- Quick recovery: Most patients resume normal activities within a few days
- No linear scar: Ideal for patients who prefer short hairstyles
- Custom hairline design: Tailored to facial features and hair characteristics
- Safe and effective: Low complication rates when performed by qualified specialists
Risks and Side Effects of FUE Hair Transplant
While FUE is a safe procedure when performed by experienced surgeons, there are some possible risks:
- Swelling and redness
- Itching and scabbing at the recipient site
- Temporary shock loss of native hair (typically grows back)
- Minor infection or folliculitis
- Uneven density (may require a second session for perfection)
- Bumpy or pitted appearance in poorly executed procedures
These risks are rare and minimized in JCI-accredited and Ministry-certified clinics like those MTTurkey partners with.
Who is a Good Candidate for FUE Hair Transplant?
You may be eligible if you:
- Have stable hair loss (not rapidly progressing)
- Possess enough donor hair on the back/sides of the scalp
- Are in good general health (no uncontrolled chronic conditions)
- Are aged 25–65 (younger patients may still have changing hair patterns)
- Have realistic expectations about the results
FUE is also suitable for beard and eyebrow transplants, scar corrections, and revision of previous failed hair transplants.

Frequently Asked Questions
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a minimally invasive hair restoration technique where individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (typically the back or sides of the scalp) and implanted into thinning or bald areas. It leaves no linear scar and offers natural-looking results.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so patients generally feel no pain during the operation. Some mild discomfort or tightness in the scalp may occur in the days following surgery, but it’s usually well-tolerated and short-lived.
A typical FUE session can last between 6 to 8 hours, depending on the number of grafts being transplanted. Patients can usually go home the same day or rest in their hotel room if they’re traveling.
Initial hair growth begins around 3–4 months post-surgery. Significant improvements are usually visible by 6 months, with final results appearing between 9 to 12 months after the procedure.
Most patients return to light daily activities within 2–3 days. Strenuous exercise, swimming, and sun exposure should be avoided for at least 2 weeks to ensure proper healing.
No. FUE does not leave a linear scar. Instead, it results in tiny dot-like marks that are barely visible, especially when hair is worn longer. It is ideal for those who prefer short hairstyles.
The number of grafts depends on the severity of your hair loss, the size of the balding area, and the desired density. On average, a session may involve 1,500 to 4,000 grafts. A personal consultation is required for accurate planning.
Yes. The transplanted hair follicles are genetically resistant to hair loss and should continue to grow for a lifetime. However, natural aging and progression of native hair loss may still occur.
Absolutely. FUE is also commonly used to restore beards, eyebrows, and even chest hair with high precision and natural results.
