Tired of feeling your hair falling through your fingers every time you go for a shower? Hair loss is a normal experience for everyone – it’s one of the many signs of aging. While there are plenty of hair loss products and medications on the market, there are few that actually really work. And dealing with your thinning hair as soon as possible is critical for your self-esteem and self-confidence.
At Eternal Hair & Esthetics, we offer the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction or Follicular Unit Excision), an innovative and state-of-the-art treatment for both men and women to restore and regrow your hair volume. This treatment involves implanting hair follicles into the problem area one by one to achieve natural-looking results. It was first developed to help patients suffering from alopecia, also known as male or female pattern baldness.
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplants are done by taking individual hair follicles out of your skin and implanting them elsewhere on your body. This will make the hair in the new area look thicker. FUE was meant to replace the “classic” follicular unit transplantation (FUT) technique. This procedure was done by taking an entire piece of skin or scalp along with the follicles and transplanting the skin on the target area.
FUE has become more popular than FUT because it’s less likely to lead to a “hair plug” look, where sections of skin or hair don’t match the surrounding areas. It also won’t leave a large scar like FUT does. The best candidate for a FUE hair transplant is someone with thinning hair or balding who still has enough hair nearby to use for a transplant.

FUE, also known as Follicular Unit Extraction OR Follicular Unit Excision, is a hair transplant procedure in which the hair follicles or hair follicular units are individually removed from the donor area one by one. The follicles naturally occur in groups of 1-4 hairs in the donor area of the scalp. FUE can be performed by a manual, motorized or automated method depending on the individual patient. The excision method utilized varies based on the characteristics of the hair follicles such as hair shaft thickness, curliness, exit angle, etc.
The method of individually removing the hair units allows them to be harvested one at a time without leaving a linear scalp scar. There will be some small punctate wounds immediately after the procedure in the donor areas. After 2 – 4 days, the wounds will close and the microscopic scars will be difficult or impossible to see.
