The Science Behind Hair Transplants: Understanding FUE

Hair loss is a common concern for both men and women, and it can impact more than just your appearance—it can affect your confidence and how you feel about yourself. At SkinMD MedSpa in Dearborn, MI, we are proud to offer advanced Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant surgery, a minimally invasive, precision-based solution designed to restore natural-looking hair with minimal downtime.



What is FUE?

Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE, is a modern hair restoration technique that focuses on transplanting individual hair follicles from areas of the scalp with healthy growth—typically the back or sides—into areas experiencing thinning or hair loss. Unlike traditional strip harvesting methods, FUE does not require stitches or leave a linear scar, making it an excellent option for patients seeking a discreet recovery and natural results.

The precision of FUE allows our specialists to carefully select and transplant hair follicles, ensuring that each one is placed at the correct angle, density, and orientation for a natural appearance. This attention to detail is what makes FUE a preferred choice for those who want long-lasting results without the invasiveness of older procedures.

How FUE Works

During an FUE procedure, individual hair follicles are gently extracted from the donor area using specialized tools. These follicles are then transplanted into the thinning or bald areas, where they will continue to grow naturally. Because each follicle is transplanted individually, the procedure allows for customized coverage and ensures a seamless, natural look.


The minimally invasive nature of FUE also means that patients experience minimal discomfort and downtime. Most people can return to their normal activities within a few days, making it an ideal option for those with busy lifestyles.


Why FUE is a Game-Changer

Hair loss can be frustrating, but FUE offers a solution that not only restores hair but also helps boost confidence. Patients often notice a significant improvement in the fullness and appearance of their hair, creating a youthful and rejuvenated look. With proper care, the results of FUE can last a lifetime, giving you peace of mind and a natural-looking head of hair.
