The Ultimate Guide to FUE Hair Transplant Everything You Need to Know About FUE Hair Restoration

Hair loss can be a frustrating and emotional experience, but thanks to modern advancements in hair restoration, you don’t have to live with it. At Concord Hair Restoration, we specialize in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), an advanced hair transplant technique designed to deliver natural, long-lasting results with minimal downtime.

Whether you’re in San Diego or Los Angeles, our expert team is here to help restore not only your hair but also your confidence. This guide will cover everything you need to know about FUE hair transplant, including the procedure, benefits, recovery, costs, and common FAQs.

What Is FUE Hair Transplant?

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted from a donor area (typically the back or sides of the scalp) and implanted into thinning or balding areas. Unlike traditional FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), FUE does not require a large strip of skin to be removed, resulting in less scarring and faster recovery.

At Concord Hair Restoration, we use advanced Neograft technology for precise follicle extraction, ensuring natural-looking and permanent results.

The FUE Hair Transplant Procedure: Step-by-Step

1. Initial Consultation

Every FUE procedure starts with a consultation where our hair restoration doctor assesses your hair loss, discusses your goals, and creates a personalized treatment plan.

2. Preparing the Donor Area

On the day of your procedure, the donor area (usually the back of the scalp) is trimmed and numbed with local anesthesia to ensure a painless experience.

3. Follicle Extraction

Using state-of-the-art Neograft technology, individual hair follicles are carefully extracted from the donor site. This process minimizes trauma to the scalp, promoting faster healing.

4. Implantation

Each extracted follicle is meticulously placed into the thinning or balding areas, following your natural hair growth pattern for the most realistic and undetectable results.

5. Recovery and Aftercare

The procedure typically takes four to eight hours, depending on the number of grafts needed. Most patients resume normal activities within a few days, with full results developing over six to twelve months.
