What is a FUE Hair Transplant?
Follicular Unit Extraction is a more modern approach to hair follicle transplantation. During a FUE hair transplant in Toronto, individual units of up to four follicles are harvested from the back of the scalp, where hair is genetically resistant to balding or thinning. These grafts are then transplanted to areas on the scalp where hair is thinning or receding. This technique reduces the recovery time and minimizes visible scarring. This technique is minimally invasive and does not require incisions or a vertical scar.
Before & After Fue Hair Transplant
The Technique Behind Follicular Unit Extraction
During Dr. Asaria's FUE hair transplant in Toronto, individual follicular units are removed, one by one, in a randomized fashion from the denser, more permanent hair around the sides and back of the scalp. This technique allows the scalp to look almost untouched after the procedure instead of the alternate and more invasive FUT technique.
The hair is shaved down before the treatment and local anesthetic is applied. Follicular units of up to four follicles are punched out one at a time and the grafts are relocated to the previously mapped out area of thinning hair on the scalp. These are evenly distributed over the area to create a fuller looking head of hair once the hair has grown back.
Extracting the follicular unit utilizes a device that punches a 1mm in diameter circle in the scalp and removes the follicles to be grafted. The donor area of the scalp recovers easily and is almost unnoticeable even with the shortest hair styles after recovery.
Am I a candidate for FUE Hair Transplant?
Ideal candidates for FUE hair transplantation are men and women in good general health who have adequate hair in one or more donor sites, sufficient enough to supply the number of healthy hair follicles required for hair restoration. The back of the head is the most common donor site, and the sides of the head can be good as well. Persons with certain medical conditions will not be candidates, as the body essentially attacks the transplanted hair, making the procedure futile.
What Kind of Costs are Associated with FUE Hair Transplant?
The costs associated with FUE hair transplant in Toronto vary depending on the nature and scope of the work necessary for your procedure. The cost will be based upon the extent of work to be done and which techniques will produce the best outcome.

Is FUE Hair Transplant the Best Option Available?
At Face Cosmetic Surgery we recommend Follicular Unit Extraction as the best method for hair transplantation in most cases. Although we understand that every person has individual needs that may be better served by alternate methods. Each case will be fully assessed before determining which technique will best serve the individual. Some treatments will also be combined with other methods such as PRP injections for hair loss.
What to expect after an FUE Hair Transplant?
Following FUE hair transplantation, the body needs to recover from the transplant procedure and grow the newly transplanted hair. Redness and irritation should subside within the first week, and by 10 days out from the procedure, all grafts should be securely in place, allowing you to shower and shampoo as you usually would. Patients will be provided full postoperative recovery instructions and what to expect throughout this time.
