FUE Hair Transplant
Hair transplantation is no longer considered taboo. Today, more people are choosing hair restoration procedures to permanently treat hair loss in a safe and painless way. At Derma Hair Clinic, the FUE hair transplant technique offers natural results with
minimal recovery time.
The clinic of Dr. Apostolos Karalexis has been awarded multiple times for excellent patient service and is a member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery.
Rich & Natural Result
The FUE technique allows precise placement of hair follicles to create a natural looking hairline and density.
No Pain
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring a painless experience throughout the treatment.
Safe Procedure
FUE is a minimally invasive technique that offers high success rates and extremely low risk of complications.
The FUE Method
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplantation appeared in 2003 and has since evolved into one of the most effective hair restoration methods.
During the procedure, individual healthy hair follicles are removed from the donor area, usually located at the back of the scalp, and implanted in the areas affected by hair loss.
Because follicles are extracted one by one, the method does not create linear scars and allows a natural distribution of hair. This makes the technique highly detailed and requires significant expertise from the doctor performing it.
Difference Between FUE and FUT
The main difference between the FUE and FUT hair transplant methods concerns the way hair follicles are extracted from the donor area.
In the FUT (Strip) technique a strip of skin is removed, which creates a permanent linear scar. In contrast, the FUE technique extracts follicles individually and therefore does not leave visible scars.
The remaining steps of the transplantation procedure are similar for both techniques.
Advantages of the FUE Technique
- Bloodless procedure
- No pain during or after the procedure
- Very low risk of complications
- Allows hair extraction from other areas of the body (Body Hair Transplant)
- No visible scars
- Mild postoperative recovery
- No stitches required
- Return to daily activities even the next day
Who Is a Suitable Candidate for FUE Hair Transplant?
The FUE technique can be applied in several cases of hair loss and hair restoration procedures, including:
- Androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss)
- Scar restoration after trauma or burns
- Correction of scars from previous FUT transplants
- Scarring forms of alopecia
At Derma Hair Clinic, Dr. Karalexis and his specialized team select the most appropriate treatment plan for each patient to ensure natural and long-lasting results.
Are the Results Permanent?
The results of a hair transplant with the FUE technique are permanent because the transplanted hair follicles originate from areas that are genetically resistant to hair loss.
The first results begin to appear around the third month. Hair density improves significantly by the sixth month, while the complete result is visible between the ninth and twelfth month after the procedure.
