Why Choose an FUE Hair Transplant?

In hair transplantation, the FUE method is the modern, minimally invasive alternative to the outdated FUT method (the “strip method”), which is still used in some clinics. At Elithair we use the FUE method exclusively to deliver the best possible results for our patients.

Unlike the FUT method, in which an entire strip of skin is removed from the donor area, the FUE technique extracts individual hair follicles with precision. This approach minimizes discomfort, leaves virtually no visible scars, and preserves a natural-looking donor area.

The success of the FUE method depends on the experience and skill of the doctor. At Elithair, our experienced medical teams combine technical precision with a personal touch, so every treatment is performed with utmost care and sensitivity.

Moreover, the extraction process at Elithair is not only physician-supervised but carried out by a seasoned team of specialists with clearly defined roles — for maximum transparency and safety.

The FUE Hair Transplant Procedure in 4 Simple Steps

Your hair transplant is broken into clear, efficient steps designed to deliver outstanding results. The heart of the procedure is the FUE hair transplant technique, in which your grafts are carefully and precisely extracted to maximize success.

Every step of the procedure is performed by Elithair’s experienced medical team, combining advanced techniques with personalized care. This meticulous approach guarantees the highest treatment quality and ensures a natural, flawless result.

Step 1: NEO FUE® — Laying the Foundation for Success

At Elithair we have raised pre-procedure preparation to a new level with the exclusive NEO FUE, an innovation developed by Dr. Balwi to enhance the effectiveness of your procedure.

This cutting-edge step uses a specially formulated, biotin-rich serum that nourishes and strengthens your hair follicles in both the donor and recipient areas before treatment.

By optimizing follicle health, we secure a higher survival and growth rate of up to 98% of your grafts — setting the stage for top-tier results.

Step 2: Precise Graft Loosening

The second step of the FUE procedure focuses on the precise extraction of your hair follicles to ensure their quality and integrity for transplantation. After applying local anesthesia for your comfort, our specialists use a state-of-the-art hollow needle with a micromotor to gently loosen the follicular units before extraction.

The instrument is carefully matched to your individual hair structure, ensuring a tailored and minimally invasive approach. For thicker hair, a needle with a diameter of about 0.8 mm is used, while finer hair calls for a needle between 0.7 mm and 0.75 mm.

This step also marks the start of the structured collaboration of the FUE team: one specialist on the medical team is dedicated solely to the precise loosening of grafts. They optimally prepare the extraction and ensure that follicles remain intact.

By adapting the technique to your individual needs, we achieve the highest level of precision and prepare your grafts for the next phase of the hair transplant. This personalized approach guarantees optimal results and a natural-looking donor area.

Step 3: Extraction of Hair Follicles

Extracting the hair follicles is a decisive step in the FUE procedure, performed with the utmost care to achieve an optimal result. Using specialized forceps, each hair root is carefully and individually extracted, ensuring a gentle and precise procedure.

At Elithair, this step is performed by two additional technicians with clearly defined responsibilities: one specialist extracts the previously loosened grafts while a second technician counts the grafts directly on a pad placed on the back of the hand — the pad is divided into four rows of 25 grafts each (100 grafts per pad in total).

A third person verifies the correct total count, documents the extraction, and performs quality control.

Once all grafts have been extracted, a senior physician performs a double-check. Only after final approval is the used material disposed of and the process logged.

This multi-stage, clearly structured procedure not only safeguards graft quality but guarantees maximum transparency for every single treatment.

This step underscores the exceptional strength of the FUE technique. Because the follicles are extracted individually, an unparalleled level of accuracy is achieved, the natural appearance of the donor area is preserved, and graft quality is optimized.

Step 4: Storing the Grafts

After your grafts have been carefully extracted, they are temporarily stored in a nutrient-rich biotin solution to ensure they remain in optimal condition for transplantation.

This crucial step provides your hair follicles with the essential nutrients they need to stay healthy and ready for the next phase of the procedure. By maintaining their vitality, we maximize the success of your hair transplant and ensure the grafts are prepared for implantation using the technique best suited to your hair-loss pattern.

This meticulous care lays the foundation for a natural, long-lasting result and an appearance you will love.

Can an FUE Hair Transplant Be Performed Without Shaving?

Whether an FUE hair transplant can be performed without shaving depends entirely on your individual treatment needs and your pattern of hair loss.

For smaller areas — such as a receding hairline, a high forehead, or small bald spots — it is often possible to perform the procedure without fully shaving the donor area. This makes the procedure more discreet and appealing for those who want to keep their existing hairstyle.

For larger areas affected by male-pattern baldness, however, the donor area must be trimmed to achieve an optimal result. If you have long hair, you can easily cover the trimmed area, making the procedure both practical and seamless.

What is the FUE method?

The FUE method is a specialized technique for extracting hair follicles during a hair transplant. The grafts are removed individually from the donor area.

This is done in a particularly gentle way. The FUE method is therefore considered the most advanced extraction technique available.

How dangerous is an FUE hair transplant?

An FUE hair transplant is largely safe. Because the hair is extracted by experienced specialists, the risk of inflammation is very low.

You can also be confident that we follow the highest hygiene standards and use state-of-the-art instruments.

What are the advantages of the FUE method?

During the procedure, your hair is extracted evenly from the donor area using state-of-the-art equipment. As a result, your hair appearance after the transplant looks completely aesthetic and natural.

The risks are also exceptionally low and almost no unsightly scarring is left behind.

What does FUE hair transplant mean?

FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction (individual harvesting of follicular units). With this method, individual hair follicles are extracted using a micromotor, each capable of growing 1 to 5 hairs.

The FUE hair transplant clearly stands out compared to the outdated FUT method, ensuring optimal results after a hair transplant.

What other methods of graft extraction exist?

There are several methods for extracting hair roots. One is the FUT technique, which is now outdated and has been replaced by the FUE method. With FUT, entire strips of skin were removed, leaving unsightly scars in the donor area.

There is also robotic graft extraction. Instead of harvesting hair roots manually, the process is performed by a computer-controlled robotic arm. The procedure is very expensive, however, and the achievable hair density is far lower than with the manual method.

Am I a candidate for the FUE method?

The FUE method can be used on any patient who has hair available in the donor area. The exception is alopecia areata, where the FUE technique unfortunately cannot be performed.

You can find out whether you are a candidate for an FUE hair transplant right now thanks to our free hair analysis.
