FUE Hair Transplants

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)

The method of FUE hair transplants is ideal and recommended for patients who, upon medical advice, will not require >3500 grafts in total during their life.

During an FUE procedure, donor hair will be removed as small groupings of follicles, as little as singular follicles, in order to maintain a high level of healthy usable hairs. The lasting benefits of the FUE method are seen in the minimal scarring and immediate recovery of the donor area.

There will be no cutting or stitches required, and as a matter of course, resulting in little to NO PAIN post operation, with patients able to behave naturally without needing downtime. Patients need not be concerned regarding camouflage of the donor area during recovery; this is due to the only traces being minuscule marks, which will be indiscernible in even a closely trimmed donor area, even at No. 1 or No. 2 cuts. So there is no need to change or cover your hairstyle, even for those who like to keep it short. This also helps to ease and aid the recovery process, as minimal pain and discomfort is expected.

The maximum quantity of grafts during one procedure (one day), will be limited to 2000. Smaller procedures are available to patients who find it preferable to reestablish hair growth gradually over time, and/or for those who require as little downtime or disruption as possible. Many patients will be pleased to know that smaller cases will potentially be eligible for Non Shaven FUE, meaning only the vital donor areas will be clipped, allowing remaining hair to mask mere insignificant sections. With regards to cost, the smaller procedures may also be more economical, allowing patients to begin the process sooner than they may have anticipated, and to reap all the benefits of this method.

We are proud to note that all components of our FUE procedure are manual, delicately performed by hand by technicians and your Doctor. No part of the procedure is handled by machines, which albeit can perform FUE, however generally result in larger, more visible scars on the scalp and are subject to breakdowns and malfunction. Each patient will receive handmade grafts, enabling a tailored experience for the best results.

Hair Transplant Results

Since 2006, our rate of success and satisfaction is virtually 100%.

During a transplant, the hair is essentially redistributed to the necessary areas; it is not created or multiplied. Thus, the density will be less than originally seen, although this will not negatively affect results. The overall coverage will be noticeably improved despite this.

We will often achieve a doubling of hair in the thinning area, if not more.

Our esteemed priority is for a high density, fast recovering, and above all natural result, with soft, personally designed hairlines fitting your individual style and needs.

It is reasonable and expected for majority of transplant recipients to undergo a second procedure to maximize positive results, with patients receiving their second FUT transplant generally utilizing the original incision line to minimize scarring.
The second FUT procedure can usually be undertaken as soon as 10 months following the first. If FUE is discussed and selected as the method for the second procedure, this waiting period may be less significant.

The approximate time period for all transplanted hairs to grow is 11-14 months.

  • 1-4 Months: Following recovery, your transplanted follicles may hibernate for up to 4 months, and it is normal not to see visible growth during this time.
  • 4-6 Months: You are likely to see up to 60% hair growth increase over this time. The hair grows approx 1 cm per month, and may appear dry at first, until the glands produce the necessary natural oils to moisturize them.
  • 6-14 Months: The hair will continue to grow and thicken over this time. The follicles continue to grow as if they were still at the back of your scalp. Don’t worry about your personal style; the transplanted hair can be cut, coloured, curled, and styled normally.

Most people who have a hair transplant are likely to have two transplants over a period of time to ensure excellent coverage. We are confident that over 90% of the transplanted hair will grow and persist for your lifetime. If the transplant is performed to the high standards of Hair Transplants Melbourne then everybody gets a great result.
