FUE Hair Transplant at Géniale

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a minimally invasive hair restoration technique that involves extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back of the head) and transplanting them into areas of hair loss.

Yes, the transplanted hair is typically permanent as the follicles are resistant to hair loss. However, the surrounding natural hair may still thin over time.

FUE leaves tiny, dot-like scars in the donor area, which are usually not visible once healed, especially with short hair.

The duration depends on the number of grafts required but typically ranges from 4 to 8 hours.

Most patients can resume normal activities within 1-2 days, with full healing taking a few weeks. Newly transplanted hair usually begins to grow after 3-4 months.

FUE is performed under local anaesthesia, so there is minimal discomfort during the procedure. Some patients may experience mild soreness or swelling afterward.

Common side effects include minor swelling, redness, or itching in the donor or recipient area, all of which subside within days.
