FUE hair transplant, scarless hair transplant and direct extraction
The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique has revolutionised the world of hair surgery by eliminating the main drawback of previous hair transplant techniques: the linear scar. With FUE, the extraction of the hair follicule no longer required to bear a lifelong a scar as stigma of the surgery (even if the scar of a FUT is thin). This is the so-called "Scarless" technique. This method uses punches (cylindrical blades) to isolate the hair root directly in the patient's scalp, and extract the follicles that produce the hair. The size of these punches (0.7 to 0.9 mm in diameter) is so small that the skin closes in a few hours and almost no visible traces remain on the skin.

At a glance
- Duration
- This surgery will last up to 12 hours and sometimes extends over several days depending on the techniques and the type of hair.
- Anaesthesia
- FUE hair transplant procedures are systematically performed under local anesthesia. it is an outpatient procedure. Patients do not sleep in the clinic.
- Convalescence
- After 15 days, the visible traces of the surgery are almost gone. Swelling can occur between the 3rd and 5th day. The transplanted hair falls after 1 to 2 months and 10 to 15% grows back from the 3rd month each month.
- Results
- You can only fully benefit from the results of a transplant after 12 to 15 months. This is the time necessary for all the follicles to return to their active phase and start producing sufficiently thick and healthy hair. In general, the results of a well-performed hair transplant are natural and can go so far as to completely erase baldness
Le traitement
What this treatment involves
The FUE hair transplant technique is known for its less invasive approach compared to FUT. Its main advantage lies in the follicular extraction method that avoids any linear scarring, offering a more aesthetic final appearance, without scarring in the donor area - at the back of the head.
The use of medical-grade 4 titanium micro-punches allows for such precise extractions in the donor area that the resulting micro-scars are almost undetectable to the naked eye. This makes it possible to wear very short hair after the procedure without visible scars.
For the transplantation area - called the "recipient" area, the method uses Custom Blade procedures and/or sapphire blades. Tiny incisions made with custom Blades or Sapphire Blades allow for extremely precise placement of hair follicles. This precision promotes high hair density while maintaining a very natural appearance.
FUE allows for a level of finesse and naturalness through the combined use of punch techniques for the donor area (biocompatible titanium punch of 0.7 to 0.9 mm, and "custom" and "Sapphire" blades, which make flat, thin, and close incisions, for a natural and dense result in the recipient area.
It is important to note that regardless of the chosen hair transplantation method, micro-scars will always remain, including with FUE. As a patient, it is crucial to distinguish between marketing promises and clinical reality: the total absence of scars is not possible.
