FUE

Reference only — not medical advice. See disclaimer.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a hair transplant technique in which individual follicular units are harvested directly from the donor area one by one using a small circular punch instrument, leaving tiny round scars rather than a linear donor scar. The extracted grafts are then implanted into the recipient area to restore hair density.
