FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction is an outpatient procedure of hair transplant that can provide a permanent solution to your hair loss problem.  In this procedure, 1-4 strands of hair from a follicular unit is taken from a donor area and transplanted in the recipient area. The donor area can be any part of the scalp with thick hair growth. Since the follicular units are extracted from the person’s body, it gives a more natural look to the hair once grown.

The hair transplant can be done in one or more sittings depending on the severity of hair loss. Once the transplant is done, it normally takes 4-6 months for the hair to grow.

FUE transplant in female involves the following procedure

• Your scalp is cleaned thoroughly with an anti-bacterial shampoo and the donor area is shaven.
• The area is then numbed using local anesthesia.
• Small incisions are made around the follicular units in the donor area. 
• Several follicular units are then taken out from the scalp.
• Small holes are then made in the area where the hair needs to be transplanted.
• The extracted follicular units are then placed in the recipient area to promote hair growth.

Just like any other medical procedure, antibiotics will be prescribed once the procedure is over. This helps to ward off infection. In order to stimulate hair growth, a special medication will also be provided. The only restriction for the patient is with respect to sun exposure.

• To increase volume of hair: Women lose the thickness of their hair naturally as they grow old. Hormone and hereditary factors play an important role in thinning of hair. FUE helps in restoring the hair lost and helps create volume.

• Correcting Eyebrow: Just like the hair in the scalp, the eyebrows also become thin and falls once women age. This can result in irregular shape of the eyebrows. Through FUE the thickness of the eyebrows can be improved which gives a natural look.
