What is follicular unit extraction (FUE)?
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a hair transplant method where individual follicular units are extracted directly from the donor area and implanted into thinning or bald areas of the scalp.
Unlike older strip methods, FUE leaves minimal scarring and offers a more natural-looking result. It's become one of the most popular surgical solutions for advanced hair loss in both men and women.
Red light therapy is often recommended after FUE procedures to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and stimulate newly transplanted follicles to support better graft survival and growth outcomes.
