FUE - Follicular unit extraction information and locations in Mexico
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is the most popular and effective type of hair transplant. The
procedure consists of taking individual hair follicles and transplanting them to the site that
is missing hair.
The FUE procedure is done using local anesthesia. The hair transplant specialist will look for
follicle units growing with 1 to 4 hairs at the back or side of the scalp. Then, the area will
be shaved to allow the correct extraction and implantation of those follicle units. Using a
special punch needle the follicles are individually handpicked based on how strongly are
growing. Once the follicles are extracted and prepared, the specialist will make a tiny incision
on the area and insert the follicle.
After the procedure, you will notice that some hairs may fall out, but this is normal. The results can be visible after 3 to 4 months.

FUE frequent questions
Get answers to our most frequently asked questions and what to expect after the procedure.
Am I a candidate for FUE hair transplant?
Candidates for follicular unit extraction – FUE, are men or women experiencing pattern baldness and have strong-healthy hair at the back or side of the head. We suggest scheduling a consultation to see if you are a good candidate.
How do I prepare for FUE procedure?
You will be asked to stop smoking, drinking alcohol, taking supplements, and anti-inflammatory medicine at least 7 days before the procedure.
Do I need to follow up special instruction after the FUE procedure?
Yes, your hair transplant specialist will explain the precautions you need to follow after the procedure. Some of the most common are, staying hydrated, avoiding direct sunlight to the scalp as well as wearing hair accessories or touching the scalp.
What’s the difference between FUE and FUT?
The main difference is the technique employed to extract the follicle units and the time it takes to finish the procedure.
In FUE, the hair transplant specialist individually extracts the follicles units. While in follicular unit transplantation (FUT), the specialist removes a strip of the scalp and closes the area with stitches, leaving a scar. Then, the follicle units are transplanted into the bald spots.
