Hair Transplant (FUE)
Surgical procedure where hair follicles are extracted from donor areas (typically back of head) and transplanted to thinning areas.
🔬 How It Works
Relocates DHT-resistant hair follicles from permanent zones to balding areas
📋 Typical Dosage
One-time procedure (1000-3000 grafts typical), results permanent
Evidence Level: Multiple large-scale clinical trials with consistent results
🏥 How to Find Hair Transplant Surgeons
Hair transplants require a specialized surgeon - research is critical:
🔍 ISHRS Surgeon Directory
International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery - verified members
FUE: $4-15/graft (1,000-3,000 grafts typical) = $4,000-$45,000
👨⚕️ Local Consultations
Get 2-3 consultations from different surgeons in your area
Most consultations free; compare pricing, techniques, results
💡 Research Thoroughly
Visit ISHRS.org to find certified surgeons. Review before/after photos from multiple angles. Check RealSelf reviews. Ask about graft survival rates, their experience level, and whether the surgeon personally performs extraction (not just technicians).
⚠️ Important Considerations
- • FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) - minimal scarring, longer procedure
- • FUT (Strip) - linear scar, faster, higher graft yield
- • Financing often available through CareCredit or surgeon payment plans
- • Results are permanent but you must maintain remaining hair with finasteride/minoxidil
