What is “FUE” an acronym for?
FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction, which is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive hair transplant method requiring no scalpel or stitches. Perhaps the greatest benefit? It does not leave a scar behind.
Why choose this over other manual FUE techniques?
Dr. Hardesty hair transplant is synonymous with precision. His system is highly ergonomic, working as an extension of the surgeon’s hand. This allows for quicker, more accurate harvesting, meaning patients are in and out faster with fewer procedures needed overall.
What makes a good FUE candidate?
You may be a good candidate for a FUE hair transplant if you: are in good health, have moderate hair loss and sufficient donor hair available, are an athlete or anyone who wants to minimize activity restriction, are someone who is looking to cover up scars from past linear harvests.
Is this a good option for both men and women?
Absolutely. Dr. Hardesty's hair transplant procedure is minimally-invasive, making it a viable option for anyone and everyone looking to restore their hair with existing donor hair.
What is the FUE procedure like?
Dr. Hardesty's new system utilizes a controlled form of pneumatic pressure to extract each individual hair graft smoothly and painlessly. This method minimizes the risk of pulling, twisting, or damaging the graft, and allows for quick re-implantation.
When do results show?
Once your harvested hair follicles are implanted into the balding area(s), the grafted hair will remain in place for 2-3 weeks before shedding. Note: Shedding is normal and an important part of the process. After shedding, the new growth will begin within 3-4 months and your hair will continue to grow normally and naturally.
