FUE
Individual follicular units are harvested and placed one by one — available shaved, partially shaved or unshaved.
What does it involve?
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is the most widely used hair transplant method. Using a micropunch of 0.7 to 1 mm, individual follicular units are harvested from the donor zone — typically the back of the head — and placed in recipient channels in the thinning or bald area. Trichomedics offers FUE in three variants: fully shaved (maximum access, lowest cost), partially shaved (only the donor strip is cut short — existing hair covers the result), and unshaved U-FUE (donor zone not shaved — more time-intensive extraction, most discreet recovery). The result is permanent hair growth with tiny, barely visible puncture scars in the donor zone.
How the treatment unfolds
Intake consultation and planning
The doctor analyses your Norwood score, hair density and donor capacity and discusses the most suitable FUE variant for your profile.
Day of the procedure
The procedure takes 6 to 8 hours and is performed under local anaesthesia. You remain awake and comfortable throughout; breaks are scheduled.
Recovery period
Scabbing is present on the recipient zone for the first 10 to 14 days. Hair washing is permitted from day three following protocol. Sports are postponed for 2 to 4 weeks.
Graft growth
Implanted hairs shed after 2 to 4 weeks — this is normal (shock loss). New growth begins around month three; the final result is visible at 12 to 18 months.
