FUE Technique

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a modern hair transplant method that extracts individual follicles for natural, scar-free, and permanent results. At İnci Esthetic, patients benefit from minimally invasive techniques with fast recovery.

FUE Hair Transplant Technique

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is one of the most widely used and advanced hair restoration methods. In this technique, individual hair follicles are harvested from the donor area—usually the back of the scalp—and implanted into the thinning or balding areas. Unlike the older FUT (strip method), FUE leaves no linear scar, heals faster, and provides natural results. At İnci Esthetic, FUE is performed with precision tools to ensure maximum density and long-lasting growth.

Benefits of the FUE Technique

FUE offers significant advantages for patients seeking natural and permanent hair restoration:
  • Minimally invasive procedure with no stitches or large scars.
  • Suitable for both men and women experiencing hair loss.
  • Allows harvesting from scalp, beard, or body hair when needed.
  • Quick recovery and return to daily life within days.
  • Provides natural hairline design and permanent results.
  • Candidates for FUE Hair Transplant

    FUE is ideal for patients seeking natural results with minimal downtime:
  • Individuals with androgenetic alopecia (male/female pattern baldness).
  • Patients who want to avoid visible scarring.
  • Those with sufficient donor hair on the scalp or body.
  • People looking for a flexible technique for different hair loss stages.
  • FUE Procedure

    1) Extraction

    Individual follicular units are removed from the donor area using a micro-punch device.

    2) Preservation

    Extracted follicles are preserved in a nutrient-rich solution until implantation.

    3) Implantation

    Tiny incisions are made, and follicles are carefully implanted into the recipient area following the natural growth pattern.

    4) Recovery

    Healing is fast, with scabs falling off in about 7–10 days.

    Recovery and Aftercare

    FUE ensures quick healing and natural outcomes when aftercare instructions are followed:
  • Mild swelling and redness may last a few days.
  • Hair washing begins after 48 hours under medical guidance.
  • New hair growth starts at 3–4 months.
  • Full results are visible at 9–12 months.
  • Cost Considerations

    The price of FUE varies depending on the number of grafts and complexity of the procedure. At İnci Esthetic, patients receive affordable, world-class hair transplant results compared to Europe and the USA.
    Country Average Cost (EUR per 3,000 grafts)
    Türkiye (İnci Esthetic) €1,500 – €2,800
    Germany €4,500 – €6,500
    United Kingdom €5,500 – €7,500
    United States €7,000 – €10,000

    Conclusion

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    What is the difference between FUE and FUT?
    FUT removes a strip of scalp to harvest follicles, leaving a linear scar. FUE extracts individual follicles, resulting in minimal scarring and faster healing.

    No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, making it virtually painless. Mild soreness may occur afterward.
    How long does an FUE session take?
    Depending on the number of grafts, it usually lasts 6–8 hours in one day.
    When can I see results?
    New growth starts after 3–4 months, with full results visible in 9–12 months.
    How many grafts can be transplanted in one FUE session?
    Typically, up to 3,000–4,000 grafts can be transplanted in a single session.
