Hair transplantation using the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique
FUE hair transplant is a hair transplant method by moving hair roots from the back of the head to replant them in the front of the head that have fallen out. The FUE hair transplant method uses a small drill bit of about 0.6 – 1.0 millimeters to move the hair roots. After that, the doctor will take the hair root cells that have been moved from the back to replant them in the desired position. Therefore, FUE hair transplant (Follicular Unit Extraction) creates very strong newly planted hair root cells and makes the newly planted hair durable and not easily fall out. Advantages of FUE hair transplant (Follicular Unit Extraction)
