One follicle at a time
Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE, is surgery, though minimally invasive. Each follicle comes out on its own through a small circular opening, so no strip of scalp is removed and no long scar is left. Tiny round scars remain.
Your doctor plans the new hairline first, and where you need more density. Each graft is set at the angle and direction that let it lie with the hair around it.
- Up to 1,500 graftsSmaller areas, early thinning or the hairline
- Up to 3,000 graftsModerate loss, for wider coverage and density
- Up to 5,000 graftsExtensive loss, if the donor area allows
- Eyebrow transplantFills in or reshapes sparse brows
- Beard transplantSparse or uneven beard, moustache or sideburns, for density or definition
Your visit
On the day, your doctor prepares the donor area and gives a local anaesthetic, then takes out the follicles and places each graft as planned. More grafts take longer. Before you leave, you learn how to protect them.
- Mention what you take, any allergies, past hair treatments and family hair loss.
- Keep taking prescribed medicine unless told otherwise, and follow the washing, alcohol and smoking advice.
- Afterwards, leave the grafts alone, let scabs loosen as you wash, and keep every follow-up.
- Avoid hard exercise, swimming, saunas and steam rooms until cleared, and keep sun off your scalp.
Is it right for you?
- A receding or changing hairline
- Male or female pattern hair loss
- Thinning in parts of the scalp
- Gaps in the brows, beard or moustache
Tell your doctor about a scalp condition, an earlier transplant, unusual scarring, a bleeding problem or anything that slows healing before you book.
Results
After the first days of small scabs and redness, new hair shows from three to six months, fine and uneven to begin with. It matures by 12 to 18 months.
Transplanted hair tends to resist pattern hair loss, though the hair around it can keep thinning. Results vary, and your doctor says what to expect for your scalp.
Cocoon is a licensed medical clinic with eight doctors, including a dermatologist, and you meet yours before anything is booked.
Questions people ask
Your doctor weighs your hair loss and the coverage you want against what your donor area can spare. Taking too many can leave it visibly thin for good.
Many hairs shed at two to four weeks, which can be unsettling. It is part of the cycle and does not by itself mean the follicle is lost.
Bleeding, infection, swelling, temporary numbness, folliculitis, scarring and poor graft growth are possible. A poorly planned hairline or placement can look unnatural.
