FUE Hair Transplant

Natural hairline restoration using your own follicles — no linear scar, no stitches.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is RenovaAura's most-requested hair restoration procedure. Individual follicles are harvested one-by-one from the back of the scalp using a precision punch (0.8–1.0 mm), then placed into the recipient area at the angle and density of your natural hair growth. Because no scalp strip is removed, recovery is shorter than FUT and the donor area shows only tiny dot scars that are invisible under short haircuts.

6–10 hours (single day)

Sessions

1 — top-up if needed at 9–12 months

Downtime

Anaesthesia

Local

Key points

Permanent results from your own DHT-resistant donor follicles

Up to 3,500–4,000 grafts in a single sitting
Resume office work in 3 days, hair growth visible by month 4

Suitable for

◍Norwood stage II–V male pattern baldness
◍Stable hair loss for 12+ months
◍Sufficient donor density on the back/sides of the scalp
◍Patients who prefer short haircuts and want no visible scar

The Process

What happens, step by step.

Step 1

Consultation & graft planning

Trichoscopy assessment of donor and recipient, hairline design with your input, count of grafts needed, and review of medical history.

Step 2

Donor harvesting (3–4 hr)

Local anaesthesia, then individual follicular units extracted with a 0.8–1.0 mm punch under magnification. You can rest, eat, watch a film during this stage.

Step 3

Recipient site creation (1–2 hr)

Micro-incisions made at the precise angle, depth and direction of your natural hair, designing a soft, age-appropriate hairline.

Step 4

Graft placement (2–3 hr)

Each follicle is hand-placed by trained technicians to achieve natural density and direction.

Step 5

Aftercare & follow-up

Day-1 wash demonstration, written aftercare protocol, growth photos at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.

Frequently asked

Patient questions, answered honestly.

Is FUE painful?+

No — the procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so you'll feel only the initial injections. Most patients describe the day itself as more 'long' than 'painful' and read or watch films through it.

When will I see results?+

Transplanted hair sheds in weeks 2–4 (expected), starts regrowing from month 3, and full density is visible at 9–12 months.

How many grafts will I need?+

Typically 1,500–3,500 depending on your Norwood stage and goals. Your trichoscopy assessment will give you an exact number before you commit.

What's the difference between FUE, DHI and FUT?+

FUT removes a strip and leaves a linear scar (cheapest per graft, but visible). FUE extracts individual follicles (no linear scar). DHI uses a Choi pen to extract and implant in one step (faster placement, slightly higher cost). All three give permanent results.
