What is FUE Hair Transplant Surgery?
​
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a minimally invasive hair transplant procedure that involves harvesting individual hair follicles from the donor area (typically the back or sides of the head) and transplanting them into areas of thinning or balding. Unlike traditional hair transplant methods, FUE does not require a linear incision, resulting in minimal scarring and a quicker recovery time.
Dr Matt utilises the state of the art WAW DUO FUE system for all of his FUE surgery. This hybrid tornado punch is much gentler and less traumatic than traditional FUE punches and results in less scarring and better quality grafts, which is essential for regrowth.
​
The extracted hair follicles are then reinserted into tiny incisions made in the area of balding by the surgeon. The surgeon during this step must consider hair depth, angulation, direction, and density to provide as natural and realistic a look as possible.
