What does FUE hair transplantation mean?

In general, FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplantation is a technique that involves directly extracting individual follicular units from the donor area using specialized instruments and transplanting them into the balding areas to achieve hair regrowth. The typical reference price for follicular unit extraction ranges from 10,000 to 30,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement usually appears within 3 to 6 months after the procedure, although potential side effects such as bleeding, hematoma, and infection may occur. A detailed analysis is as follows:

Follicular unit extraction is based on the natural growth characteristics of human hair, where each follicular unit consists of 1–4 hairs. During the procedure, the doctor uses specialized precision instruments to extract individual follicular units directly from the patient's posterior scalp. Compared with traditional hair transplant techniques, follicular unit extraction avoids the need to surgically remove a strip of scalp, thereby minimizing damage to the donor area. In terms of surgical process, the doctor first administers local anesthesia to the patient, then carefully extracts follicular units one by one from the donor area using specialized extraction tools. This step requires extremely high precision and patience to ensure the integrity and viability of the follicles. Immediately after extraction, the follicles are placed in a special culture solution for preservation. Next, tiny incisions or holes are created in the recipient area, and the harvested follicular units are individually implanted into these openings according to the natural direction and density of hair growth.

It is recommended to undergo the above procedure at a正规 medical institution under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure both effectiveness and safety. After surgery, the transplanted hair will gradually grow naturally, effectively improving the cosmetic concerns caused by hair loss.
