FUE (short for Follicular Unit Excision) is a hair transplant technique, where single hair follicles are taken from the side and back of the scalp (donor area) and placed in the balding areas (recipient area) of the scalp.

To be successful, FUE requires a tremendous amount of attention to detail and skill. How effective the process is is often down to the skill of the doctor you choose to perform your surgery. It is important to note that not every medical professional that claims they are an FUE specialist is capable of performing a high standard of surgery. This is why Hair Medics UK only work with doctors who have proven, time and again, that they really are the experts in their field of work.
One of the most important aspects of performing an FUE Hair Transplant, which also determines whether the surgery is to be successful, is the design and distribution of the hair follicles during their placement. For this reason, when planning a hair transplant, every procedure should be unique to each patient and customised to their needs.

Individual hair follicles of between 1 and 4 hairs are removed from the sides of the head and the back of the neck using a micro extraction instrument, which is less than 1mm in diameter.
Tiny holes are made in the balding area of the scalp, with the hairs placed into these holes at the correct angle and blended in to mimic the appearance of your original hair.
Aftercare is an important stage of the regrowth process. Protecting the grafts is essential, so we’ll talk you through how to wash the hair, your diet and other factors to ensure wounds heal quickly.
Because hair is transplanted, the results are permanent. After a few weeks, the transplanted hair will shed, but will grow back as strong and healthy hair, which behaves exactly how your original hair did.
A successful FUE Sapphire Hair Transplant starts with the planning on which hair follicles our surgeons plans to extract in order to give our patients their desired results.
Not all all hair follicles are the same, for example each hair follicle will consist of a different number of hairs ranging from 1 hair per follicle to 4 hairs per follicle, the artistry in performing a successful hair transplant all depends on which hair grafts the surgeon chooses and where he/she decides to place them to achieved the desired outcome in which the patient wants.
This is where the use of the medical device MicroCamera® becomes very advantageous in obtaining a successful result for our patients.
Microcamera® has 19 types of optics/sensors that can carry out an in depth dermatological and trichologic analysis of the patients hair follicles within the donor area.
