FUE Hair Transplant

Overview

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is the gold standard in hair transplantation. Individual hair follicles are harvested from the donor area (typically the back of the scalp) and transplanted to areas of thinning or baldness, creating natural-looking, permanent results.

Mr. Okonkwo has performed over 3,000 FUE procedures and is known for his artistic approach to hairline design.

How It Works

1

Trichology Consultation

Comprehensive scalp analysis, hair density assessment, and digital mapping of the donor and recipient areas.

2

Hairline Design

Mr. Okonkwo designs your new hairline considering facial proportions, age-appropriateness, and natural growth patterns.

3

FUE Procedure

Individual follicles are extracted under local anaesthesia using a micro-punch tool and transplanted to the recipient area.

4

Growth Timeline

Transplanted hairs shed at 2-4 weeks (normal), regrowth begins at 3-4 months, final results visible at 12 months.

Benefits

  • Permanent, natural-looking results
  • No linear scar — minimal visible scarring
  • Natural hairline design by specialist surgeon
  • Can transplant to eyebrows and beard
  • Local anaesthesia — no general anaesthetic needed
